[The Legend of Zelda] I’ll say it now, but Link has a really great design.

Otaku Review Image

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:14Yeahx9

Are you wearing clothes over a full-body white tights?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:18

>>1I’m being made to wear white tights as a hobby of the old man.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:14

I understand!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:15Yeahx9

The Masamune and Hylian Shield still have a sense of being allowed even now.
Clothes were not allowed.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:17Yeahx3

>>3It was already being joked about back then.
The source is a four-panel comic.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:19Yeahx7

>>7That is my hobby.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:57

>>3That outfit looks hot and stuffy…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:15

It has particularly become heroic since Ocarina of Time.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:16Yeahx7

Adult Link is too cool.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:16

Well, starting from the next new work, it will be this outfit, right?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:32Yeahx1

>>6Since they are saying they want to continue the Breath of the Wild route, there is a possibility that the green will be discarded for a while.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:38

>>23The title logo of Tears of the Kingdom and the initial equipment attire are green, but…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:40Yeahx2

>>30I seem to have a lot of white and skin color…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:42

>>6Aren’t you feeling less of that tights sensation in the next wind taxi?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:17Yeahx20

It feels like I’ve gotten so used to pointed hats and green clothes that I can’t really judge whether they are cool or uncool anymore.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:17

In the development stage, it was quite close to the medieval period, so the tights are probably a remnant of that.
The completed form of this style is Skaw.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:23

>>9It was just that bare legs in a skirt were not allowed.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:18Yeahx5

But it would be a problem even with bare legs, right?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:19

The outfit, which clearly shows off the forest fairy vibe, feels coordinated with the white inner accent.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:20

Ocarina of Time Link is a true handsome guy, isn’t he?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:25

Are the bare-legged kids also wearing something like spats?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:35

>>16The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening was probably going commando.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:26

In the past, I didn’t really feel like they were particularly good-looking.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:27

But without this design, it would have been buried.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:27

You wouldn’t want to see a beautiful person rolling forward and pushing blocks, right?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:28Yeahx2

I feel that Twilight Princess really went all out with its aesthetic.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:30

It seems that since Wind Waker, there have been criticisms within the game as well…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:44

>>21The casual outfit of Wind Takurink has a bit of a hero vibe, doesn’t it?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:47

>>21(While making a clear unpleasant face)

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:31

The original Skawolink isn’t really a handsome guy with a full-on pouty lip…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:35

Link’s design = I wanted to break away from the character design seen in the thread images, and it was evident from Wind Waker’s casual clothing start. As the protagonist, I think Link’s design will change beyond just having blonde hair and long ears.
If it’s not a protagonist like one who appears externally or borrows wisdom, it would probably go with the thread image.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:36

There may be times when there are no pants, depending on the level of civilization.
It must be that kind of era like with Link to the Past.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:37

Soon, there might be a muscular Link with a beard aimed at the Western market.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:38

There could also be a female Link.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:38

Wasn’t “The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds” quite a bit later in the timeline?
It’s a rare pattern where a blacksmith can also be trained in mass production, and the civilization seems to be advanced as well.
There are some pretty daring official illustrations of bare legs, although let’s set aside whether it’s really Boy Link from the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:39Yeahx3

>>29In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the falling illustration shows the character’s bare butt completely visible.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:40

>>29Skyward Sword → (Four Swords series) → Ocarina of Time → Link to the Past
It’s the third one, so maybe later… maybe later…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:39Yeahx1

In the past, characters like Mars from FE used to wear outfits that looked like skirts and bare legs, so I wonder if that design was the mainstream style of the time.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:44Yeahx8

>>31In the case of Mars, the costume design was clearly Greek in the FC version.
It seems that the difference in the world view we were expecting is bigger than the issue of exposure.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:39

From the beginning, if it was green and had an elf-like appearance, it would be recognized like Link…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:41

There are several hundred years of gap in between, so it can wait until later.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:41Yeahx1

Link has such a great design.White tights are extremely uncool.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:42

In the remake of Dream Island, bare feet were nerfed, so the bare feet in Link to the Past were a presence that was completely allowed at the time.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:42

Well then, let’s put on some jeans.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:44

The windbreaker can look like pants or tights.
Because of my short legs, I don’t assert myself much.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:46

The official view is that they made him wear a thermal shirt so he wouldn’t look too cool, which means feeling it looks uncool is the right interpretation…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:48

Although the heroic outfit is definitely cooler, the presence of the green ugly outfit in its grand position is part of what makes it accepted.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:48

I think the color scheme is magnificent.
Now, the saturation is restrained, but it’s not too plain or too flashy.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:49

Well, it’s the same motif as the protagonist of DQ7.
Still, it’s interesting how arranged it is when it’s this sharp.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:50

From a design perspective, Ocarina of Time Link stands out quite a bit.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:50

I think there was simply a pitch suit boom since both the chic and imp are like that.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:29Yeahx3

>>50It might have been easier to wear it with 64 polygons, huh, Pichisu?

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:51Yeahx5

I belong to the generation that had those types of images during childhood, so even if it’s said that white tights are a bit off, it doesn’t resonate with me at all.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:51

I think they should make Zelda a classic beauty instead.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:55

>>52The design was made with the concern that if the princess in Breath of the Wild is beautiful, players might rush to rescue her first and finish the game too quickly…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:58

>>61As a result, the mob that probably had a design that wouldn’t make them more beautiful at all has turned out to be really plain!
The persuasive power to live robustly in that world is coming through.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:53

Will the blue one not continue anymore?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:54

I want to see a no-pants child Link in the current graphics.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:54

But in terms of the game, it will eventually turn red.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:54

There is a concern whether the sequel can continue, as Breath of the Wild was such an all-out masterpiece.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:55Yeahx2

>>56Don’t forget to borrow wisdom.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:54

I want to convey how cool Link is to everyone.
Shareee!!!!

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:55

It used to be more potato-like, didn’t it?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:55

Favorite link spring
Favorite link spring

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:56

Since A Link Between Worlds was my first Zelda game, I have the image of purple hair, but in the illustrations, she’s actually depicted with blonde hair.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:56

The in-game stills of the mysterious fruit are cute, right?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:56

Musou is probably too much of a hero, but Link is cool and Zelda is really beautiful, right?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:57

As a Ocarina of Time generation, I find it strange that Princess Zelda is casually flirting with Link.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:57

Since it often starts from waking up, my green clothes are mostly pajamas.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:57Yeahx2

In the early days of the series, it wasn’t like that.
The beautiful boy’s bare legs in a mini skirt and long boots are not good for young people, so he was made to wear tights.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:58Yeahx1

It’s not good for an adult to have bare legs, but white tights are also quite bold.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:59

A hero who looks good in green clothes, alongside Robin Hood and Peter Pan.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)18:59

I like center-part hairstyles, but it’s only for Ocarina of Time (and Majora’s Mask).

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:00

A persuasive theory that the cool people who would come to the castle town all died 100 years ago.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:01

Honestly, I became aware of my tights fetish because of Young Link’s white tights.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:02

Wind Taku isn’t trashing the design of the green outfit!
What is with those long sleeves and long pants in a tropical country… you’re going to scare people away!

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:02

Adult Link from Ocarina of Time has a bit of a bad boy image, opening small treasure chests with his feet and saying things like “ouch.”

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:02

Wearing the legendary hero equipment in games like Breath of the Wild gives me a nostalgic feeling.
I want to start playing from the beginning, only carrying over my clothes.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:03

I wondered about that green in Skyward Sword, but… that’s what I was told, right?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:05Yeahx1

>>78Because it’s too green…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:03

I want to see more of the Three Musketeers’ Cheerlink.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:04

Looking at it this way, it’s way too much of a super mini skirt…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:04Yeahx5

When you think about it, Ocarina is introduced as a member of this forest fairy race, so it makes the most sense for her to be wearing this.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:04Yeahx1

I was forced to sleep for 7 years, and when I woke up, I was made to wear white tights and had my ears pierced…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:25Yeahx1

>>82Raul’s grandpa has good taste, doesn’t he?

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:05

Since my first Zelda game was Wind Waker, an Ebi shirt is the proper attire.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:07

I think it’s nice that Wind Takurink dislikes that outfit because it shows childishness.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:10Yeahx1

The image that comes to mind of an elven hero is too strong…
No, I’m not an elf, I’m a Hylian.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:10

I remembered the 4-panel comic where I exchange clothes with Saria.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:12

I wonder where the Kokiri tribe gets this clothing.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:13

>>88It’s like a forest fairy, and I wonder if they are born in this outfit.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:12

Link in Breath of the Wild has a face that isn’t too handsome, right?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:14

>>89In other words, most of the links are like that.
Even the Twilight Princess Link, who is the least embarrassed and made to look handsome, has a bit of a short-legged vibe.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:15

It seems like they could easily change the design now that Link is no longer trapped in green in Breath of the Wild.
I think it was a good change in the end.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:15

I heard that they made Link in Twilight Princess too good-looking, so they decided to cut his legs.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:16

I feel like there was some game-related reason for Link having short legs, but I’ve forgotten what it was.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:20

>>94I don’t know the reason for his short legs, but the relatively shorter height compared to NPCs is to make sure the character doesn’t hide behind Link’s back.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:16Yeahx1

Rather, the barbarian seems to be quite handsome among the various Links throughout history.
I’m a bit shorter in height, but…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:16

Zelda has been blonde or brown-haired, but Link has always been consistent.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:17

I am still captivated by Hiyama Link…
That voice is irresistible.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:17

>>97Even now, the performance is so realistic that it makes me laugh.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:18Yeahx5

>>99Wowwwww!!!!!!!
Discrepancy!!!!!!!

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:17

I think if you look closely, the Toad Princess face is actually quite a handsome guy with some unique features.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:17

I wonder why it looks so hopelessly out of place in Breath of the Wild.
The green in Twilight Princess is not weird at all.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:18Yeahx1

As for the tights, that’s one thing, but what the heck is with the piercings!!

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:22

>>102It’s probably an item for some kind of magical power assistance.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:19

I wonder if Raul took care of him during the 7 years he was sleeping.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:19

If you raise the proportions too much, the image will be ruined.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:21

The spiritual age of Ocarina of Time Link is less than 10 years old, so he readily accepts both earrings and white tights.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:25

I love the arrangements of Twilight Princess too much.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:25Yeahx1

I wonder if Raul made him wear white tights and put on earrings…

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:27Yeahx1

>>111It’s almost sleep rape…

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:27

>>111There was a four-panel comic like that…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:26

The initial Zelda game likely gave Link a different basic appearance image.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:27

The character from the previous game in Breath of the Wild stood out with bare legs while wearing the clothes.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:27Yeahx1

>>114It’s not like I have bare legs even with cat eyes…

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:28

>>114Is that so? I usually show my bare legs, so I didn’t feel much of a difference…

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:30

>>119As I thought, it’s full nudity play…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:28

For the current young generation, Breath of the Wild is the standard, and older designs like those in past games probably seem unfamiliar to them…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:28

Twilight Princess can also be worn without permission, but it’s heavy armor with thick fabric including pants and chainmail.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:29

I feel like there was a relatively large pink area in the sprite of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but what was that design for…?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:30Yeahx2

I love shrimp t-shirts.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/29(Thu)19:30Yeahx1

I regularly remember the 64 realistic front faces and chuckle.
