Preview of Link from Legend of Zelda

[Dark Sheer]

Here is a preview for Link from Zelda. It is a request from Whats a Bhamut and since I promised.

I have only done 4 direction of run so far so it will take a while more to complete. While I don't have to draw this from scratch (animation taken from Ultima Online ), I do need to combine like 6 animation into 1 for each direction of each action!! (naked body, leather armor, boots, hair, hat and sword)

Here is the NW run animation. Any comment on this unit's animation is welcomed.

Heh, the old armors are all pretty long and that makes them look like skirts.

Here is one of the attack animation preview

Hehe...actually I was getting lazy and there is only one type of long hair available to choose from UO animation. UO has either top knot, short, curly, page boy, long or pony tail and of course bald.

And so I thought I will just give him longer hair.

Heh, i should have read your first post better

Heh, heh. Cool! So, do we get a Princess Zelda Leaderhead?

 

[Dragon Warrior]

in the 1st animation his hat looks kinda blueish


great idea though

 

[Dragon Warrior]

maybe u could give him his shield too

 

[Black Fluffy Lion]

that's great dark sheer, as usual...

a minor point: the outline on the sword and arms don't look great.

So what happened to this?

I shrink the images as the original is too big for Civ3 and the color is mess up, especially the Civ color

I might need to redo the work. Oh well.

First of all, Link is LEFT-HANDED. And he has a shield.

Like its been mentioned, his hair is too long. Or something.

I think it looks too much like an elf and not enough like Link himself. You could use the N64 version of Zelda for a guide I suppose.

Green should be darker.

I think the tunic should be a lighter green.
