Description This is for 's contest about designing a new outfit for Link.

This is my design for link to be wearing a kind of warm suit to protect him from extreme cold. I mean, there was once a tunic for protection against the heat, but cold never seemed to be an issue for some reason. I figured he especially could have used a suit like this on his adventure in Snowpeak in the last game. It could have provided some protection against those icy monsters.

So there it is. I stuck pretty well with the original tunic design just so that it would feel like something you might actually expect to see in the game. I kinda thought the puffball at the end of his hat was a nice touch. I had a bit of trouble getting his face to look right, but as you can see, I cheated and put a scarf around it ^^. I decided on a whim to throw Midna in there, mildly amused by Link's appearance. I just wanted an excuse to draw her.

I hope you like. All comments are welcome; compliments, critiques, flames. I'll accept them all.

I really like it, and midna looks at him and is like "wtf?"
Wouldn't it be hard to get around in?

I don't think so. It's just thick and warm for snowy enviroments.

Thanks.

Intresting design. You do bring up a good point. While extreme heat in the games slowly reduces Links life metre. Extreme cold doesn't do anything. They could have made those stages so that Links movement is slowed down by the cold like in real life. Presents medal.

Aw, I just love this! Link's cold-weather gear is too cute; love the scarf and the earmuffs.

Great work on Midna-- she looks excellently on-model. : )

Thanks. Your reference was helpful. I didn't trace, I assure you. In fact, I had to use my spatial reasoning skills to draw the mirror-image of Midna's helmet to get the Gamecube version.

And thanks for the comment!

The scarf kinda calls Sheik to mind. Which is fine by me!

So good of you to include Midna, even if Links looks almost ready to impale her.

I never thought of Shiek, but I guess you're right. I didn't intend to make it look like Link was about to impale Midna, but since she's sort of snickering at him, it's not too much of a stretch.

Thanks for the comment!
