That dress looks dangerously short :D Link is such a slut.

Um, he looks like a chubby chick.

Highlights on the torso give the impression of bosoms and/or a fat belly.
Thighs are tick and round, ankles are thin, feet are small. These are generally considered feminine traits.
Link is usually rendered with blonde hair. Where is this purple coming from?

Only thing remotely manly about him are the arm positions.

Yes, ptoing, Link's a very naughty person.

What you pointed out makes me happy, pkmays.

Thanks, Panda.

eh? :0
Thanks for what? heh

I like how you kept the pink hair as some kind of semi-hidden egg for those who haven't played LTTP.
As for crits, I'd make the body 1 pixel thinner or the legs thicker.
I wish the hair had more contrast against the face as it blends.

no crits other than what pkmays said. stylish and clean.

I always thought that pink was his hat, not his hair...Without the pink part he's in like a Jew cap. Anyone else share my opinion?

They're called a yarmulkes, Adrian.

I share the opinion that Link's chest looks a bit like he's blossoming into a fine young lady. So, fixing that would be nice. I just realized how much of a girl Link is. He wears leggings. Leggings for god sake. What a strange boy.

Are you going to animate him? (I already know the answer :\) Seeing an animation of him seems necessary. Not many colors, he's a nice compact size...

just get rid of that 2-pixel-tall smear of lipstick and he should be looking a lot more manly ;)

haha, that's awesome. But since when does Link have purple hair?

link had purple hair in lttp (see pic above) at least in the actual game.
I always heard it was because of palette restrictions he had purple hair, which I never got because he had yellow and brown etc on the rest of his sprite :-\

Strange, and a GBA is not that restricted, I mean, if it was a Gameboy colour, I could've understand the purple hair.
I always thought the purple was part of his hat  :crazy:
And his belt for example, has yellow on it. But overall, I don't really like the sprites from lttp.

It came for the SNES originally, and then it got re-released for the GBA.

Heres my edit. I think he's proportioned a little better. maybe his legs should be longer??

Nice edit Pkmays .. but i think he needs to show a little more leg no?  :crazy:

hehe exactly what i was thinking pkmays, the edit only emphasises his bust. I think Franky G is on the right track with his.

No, not particularly. Please don't edit without a reason. Maybe some people are just slow to what I find humorous, but I don't want a manly Link.
