Why do you start a thread with a question you already know the answer to?

really nice pic, what is it from?

>>8945062
Not hom, but it's from the official Japanese Link's Awakening guide book. It retells the Zelda games stories in the fireword and uses D&D inspired art. The art that anon posted is actually supposed to represent the final fight in Zelda 1, as that picture is shown during the Zelda 1 part of the book. There's also art of Link fighting Thunderbird and Dark Link in that style.

>>8945062
Katsuya Terada is the artist

He come to town

Not only is 80s anime style in general the best anime style, but OG Link is best Link.
Just look at this little pussy-slayer. All battle-hardened and shit. Y'know he's seen some fucked up fuckery in his short, what, 10ish years?
If he ever met the other, far faggier Links, he'd beat the shit out of them, hands down. Ain't no way some pink-haired bunny-rabbit queer or a blonde dicklicker on a fucking horse is gonna be able take'im, no sir. OG Link is a motherfucking beast; he don't take no shit.
AND he's obviously the physically strongest of them all. You ever see any of the cocksucker Links carry all "his" shit on "his" back like this tough little motherfucker does? No, you fucking don't. And by the way, I don't think any other Link has physically attacked fire before, has "he?" But the OG badass smacks some flames around to rescue his princess like he a pimp and dem firebitches owe him money.

>>8945978
Is this a copypasta or are you sincerely this much of a faggy redittor?

>>8945078
oh i thought it was alttp
well, there are still some great la ones

>>8945978
I like this too
When did Link go from being a 'tough kid' to being an effeminate man or a ditzy kid?
Have you seen how link looks now? It's like it was designed by china or something
I really don't get it.

It’s subjective, just a matter of opinion.

Ishinomori

>>8945978
Hey Link I don't think that's how you hold a sharp sword

>beats up women and shoots them
>they all want his cock

The CHAD OoT Link.

>>8945053
I choose any of the first 4 Zelda games

>>8945078
>official Japanese Link's Awakening guide book
I never knew the source, I always thought that and >>8946082 were from ALttP

>>8946627
Most people don't care about classic Link design but he appears in more Zelda games than any other Link

>>ALBW
Not retro, I played the game but I never looked at any official art. I'll have to check this out.
Also off topic and I'll have to Google it probably...I know Hyrule Warriors is a spin off but is there any connection between OC donut steal character "Lana", the Oracle Nayru (a Capcom OC character?) and Lanayru (name first appearing in TP, but then being reused in SS, BotW, etc)?

>>8946657
It's just a reference. Like the blue dragon in BoTW is named Naydra. Also the oracle was not the first character with this name, Nayru was one of the goddesses from OoT

>>8946638
>tfw can actually tell the difference between those designs
>>8946657
We can't know for certain what Omega Force was truly thinking with Lana since how she (and Cia) started as concepts is so wildly different from their final versions. The only thing we can know 100% is that the Capcom games were basically ignored as much as they could be for Hyrule Warriors, likely due to Koei Tecmo and Capcom's bad blood between them.

>>8944492
The one you posted, of course. It is always a pleasure to hear Nobuyuki Hiyama's voice

>>8944492
I love how expressive toon Link is.

>>8946447
It's in a fucking scabbard, bro.

>>8946537
This. N64 Link unironically soaked more panties than any other. Even as a kid.

>>8947121
>GaoGaiGar
You don't know me and I don't know you. But you will forever be my nigga based on this alone.

>>8947650
You should check out Super Robot Wars 30. It just came out a few months in English officially on Steam and it fully adapts Hakaioh's plot. I get the tingles every time Guy is on screen

>>8947750
>tfw no comfy island maiden waifu to take care of me and sing me to sleep
women really dig man hands btw.

>>8947789
I like that art but isn't Link supposed to be a kid in ALttP and LA?

>>8947796
He looks like a teen/young adult in LA. The chibi scenes don't count because I said so.

>>8947801
Not to sound autistic about Zelda lore and all that shit, but LA is a direct sequel to Oracles and he is most definitely just a kid in these

>>8946447
>I don't think
clearly

>>8945978
don't you talk shit about epona. any link is lucky to have such a loyal, noble steed support him in his quests

>>8945978

Brown haired Link is best Link.

>>8944492
It's OoT/SSBM Link for me.
Link is usually supposed to be a boy, not super masculine, but in OoT I always imagined him as this big badass dude that I could self insert as.

We are not allowed to like remakes on this board but OoT 3D Link is the best in my opinion

>>8947809
Oracle art is a bit more stylized because Nakano felt the original art from ALttP and LA was a tad dated. Miyamoto got pissed off about the nose and scoffed him off "Fine, do what you want". So, it's more stylization and less "literally a child".

>>8948141
I find this model funny, but not in a bad away. It's just neat how Grezzo compromised between the artwork seen in >>8948087 and Link's actual in-game proportions in the original OoT.

>>8947750
>>8947789
She's actually a total babe.

>>8948141
looks like a fag

>>8948534
And that's a good thing.

>>8948536
if you're a fag i guess, which you are since you like the 3DS remakes (theyre shit btw)

>>8948549
Cope and seethe, LARPer. After you're done go back to /v/ where you belong.

What about best Moblin variant?

>>8948141
Here's the best one bro

>>8944687
Is there porn of her?

>>8948925
I like the Link Between Worlds version.

>>8948925
THIS MOTHERFUCKER RIGHT THERE

Ocarina of Time did enemies so right, intimidating looking skeletons, lizard people, giant muscular angry pig people, giant weird flying rotating things etc
Even without blood you would absolutely feel your sword going through them and watch them BURN TO THE GROUND as they die
Now it's family friendly slash sounds and turning to dark poof when dead. Yes attack those cute little colorful goofy bokoblins.

>>8949113
>Octoroks are Moblins are iconic but beginner enemies of the Zelda series
>Aonuma takes over
>Zelda series suddenly gets weak small silly goblins and Moblins are elevated to "really hard enemies" while Octoroks become "a tricky puzzle you have to solve"

>>8949113
Roided as they looked, they were some of the weakest fucking losers. I think they're the only enemies you can find as adult Link that die from single hit of the hookshoot.

>>8948534
Link looks like a faggot on every artwork starting from OoT so it's canonically accurate

Sad but true.

>>8949885
Imagine seething this hard because Link became attractive instead of a retarded little Keebler elf.

>>8949959
I like his pants but the Michael Jackson mouth always kills me.

>>8948141
He looks like he has foetal alcohol syndrome.

>>8949885
>artwork starting from OoT
starting from alttp

>>8945274

>>8950207
>foetal alcohol syndrome
Is that anything like the fetal alcohol syndrome that you have?

>>8948925
i like the goofyness of the botw ones
namely the lanky stature and the long nose

>>8948925
can't go wrong with moblins if you ask me, but my favourite is WW.

>>8949125
Aonuma Daimao has put this series on ice in more ways than one.

>>8951248
I hate the loincloths, they just emphasize that there's a penis dangling just behind it, and the nose/horn/tongue telegraph exactly how long and curly it is.

>>8950991
Wow. What a great insult. I'm sure Anon is gutted. Just absolutely gutted.

Twilight Princess Link, and here's why-
He's in chainmail, and learns swordplay(fencing).
CHAIN LINK FENCE

>>8952185
>n-not samefag btw h-haha

>>8952076
Is he actually going JUST or is that a shoop

>>8952561
No, that's real.

>>8951248
I really don't like the Bokoblin design in BotW (they just look annoying) but the Moblin design really grew on me. They're like if you crossed a lanky warcraft troll with a tapir or something, they're imposing but in a really goofy way.
