Description I had just watched some joke trailer for a LoZ movie when I drew this -- and not to be mean -- but the guy playing Link was, well... uglier than homemade sin. So that made me think, is there a human male alive pretty enough to actually be Link?

I didn't use any reference, but I think I had Taylor Hanson in mind when I drew this (farm1.static.flickr.com/224/49โ€ฆ )... he was about the prettiest boy I could think of. Too bad he's a musician and not an actor; I could really picture him with pointy ears and a green windsock on his head.

Who do you think would make a good Link?

*lol* I think this picture looks great! Actually I kinda like the roughness of it.... the texture just adds such a great feeling.

That being said, I am ashamed to say that I have pondered that before---the question of who could play live action Link. Only once. A long time ago. Around the time 7th Heaven was airing, I actually thought that young blonde David Gallagher might have been able to pull off Young Link.

StealthNerd In reply to Contraltissimo [2012-06-29 13:59:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the feedback! <3

And wow, I just nostalgia'd super hard... I remember that young, blonde David Gallagher. I never watched 7H, but the cast members were regulars in the girly little teen magazines I used to buy... I mean, that my friends used to buy and that I'd never be caught dead reading. *ahem* >_>;
But yes, he could definitely have pulled off the Link look, good idea!

This is awesome! Actually Link being an Hylian (which is in my opinion a race more similar to elves whom are delicate beings with delicate faces than to humans whom are more muscular), it would make it diificult to find a real human male looking similar to Link... How sad...

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

StealthNerd In reply to Mynhphrah [2012-06-29 14:03:44 +0000 UTC]

You make a very good point there! I think that when drawing fantasy characters, racial traits in regards to anatomy and bone structure are important things to consider. I'd say it's the biggest difference between the subject looking alien (for lack of a better word), or distinctly human.

So yeah, I guess that does lessen the odds of any mortal male matching Link's otherwordly prettiness, alas.

Mynhphrah In reply to StealthNerd [2012-07-02 05:17:57 +0000 UTC]

Indeed!!! Ah... At least Link can always be met in dreams at night. I actually had some very nice dreams about him recently... But I guess I cannot say here what was the nature of those dreams...

And I am clueless about why I am feeling so romantic in the recent weeks and that I keep on having this kind of dreams... If only I was not single... Oh. It must be the reason... So this is why I get those dreams... something is amiss in my life. I guess I just have to enjoy those dreams then.

StealthNerd In reply to Mynhphrah [2012-07-05 01:05:39 +0000 UTC]

Dreams are often a nice retreat for that reason, eh? hehe...

But I hope it's not that you're unhappy in your real-life relationship, 'cause that would be sad. :<

Mynhphrah In reply to StealthNerd [2012-07-05 03:11:13 +0000 UTC]

Yes, indeed! However, at the time being, I do not have a real-life love relationship. I had my share of heartbreaks about three years ago and I just recovered from them... While I am a bit scared about meeting a man again, I strongly wish that soon I will get to meet the right man this time. I guess those dreams are the means my heart has to let me know that I am ready to love again... If real, true love could finally come to me, it would make feel so happy!

StealthNerd In reply to Mynhphrah [2012-07-10 05:30:41 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, I misunderstood, my mistake.

I'd say such dreams are indeed a likely sign that you're ready for love again. I wish you the best in your romantic endeavors! We all deserve a little slice 'o true love.

I saw that April Fools trailer 2 years ago! It looked like it was supposed to be based off of OoT, but it was a miserable fail at that, and I was raging at how Link looked, and that he started as a farmer in the trailer. THERE IS NOBODY IN THE WORLD THAT CAN MATCH LINK!

Lol, I've maybe seen one or two guys pretty enough to possibly be Link. But therein lies the problem - mostly only girls are that beautiful. ;D
