How come Link was ugly as Mario in the first Zelda games then post Oot he has a cute feminine face?

I like his lips

This Link will always be my favorite, in spite of the fact he's not wearing anything under his tunic.

Pretty cute but not as cute as Botw Link.

To be fair Botw Link looks like the Link Nintendo put the most effort in terms of face so far. He’s even prettier than Zelda

did Nintendo ever do a composite design for Link yet?

Same reason Ganon was a big blue pig in LoZ and AoL, then a big blue pig that can sometimes be a spoopy middle eastern lanklet wizord, then a musclebound demon-faced superbara hunk from OoT and onwards.

Ganon is still the main deal. Ganondorf was just a temporary character that appeared in 3 games out of 20, and his last game was TP, which was 12 years ago.

>what is an ELF?

looks like michael jackson

wind waker link > all

Yeah I think Smash made Dorf a bigger deal than what he actually is, considering how he appears in 4 Smash games and 3 Zelda games.

People want cute boys now

haha how do I get a cute boyfriend like link asking for a friend ahaha

Well it's kinda hard to make post OOT Ganon playable. Also he was added when OOT/MM were the latest games.

I think the actual story was that Koizumi's wife wanted Link to be prettier when he was doing the manual for OoT.

Because of Koizumi's wife

>I changed the character design for Link a lot for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. At first he had a button-nose.

>Iwata Yeah, he had a distinctive nose.

>Koizumi My wife said, "All of Nintendo's characters have funny noses. Don't you have any handsome ones?" I was shocked.

>Koizumi Then when we were making The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I was in charge of Link's character design, so I made him a little better-looking.

she must be fujoshi

>If it wasn't for her Link would still be a potato nosed mess instead of a pretty bishonen

Holy fucking shit, praise this woman

And it's a good thing too.

Shit taste. Link looking like some goofy, understated kid fits his character a lot better.

Link's a hero, he should look suitably heroic.

Looks like a fucking ChadKing among men. You're just some basedboy who doesn't want their anus to be burst open by his rock hard cock.

Heroism doesn't come from parted sideburns and faggy earrings

It's a duality thing with Ganondorf. Link's feminine face was made to make Ganondorf look even more dramatically masculine/intimidanting, as Ganondorf's ugly facial features were made to empathize Link's good looks. They are Ying/Yang

Verbal spook. "Ganon" in the classical sense was last a thing in game in Four Swords Adventure, which is hardly a mainline Zelda title. He's mindless and there to get possessed by Yuga in ALBW, Yuga himself being just the Ganondorf of that game. All other entities referred to as "Ganon" are basically mindless abominations or beasts and not the greater daemon of greed he's built as in ALttP.

Ganon can be critically broken down into five categories of entity.

>"Greater Daemon" Ganon
Refers to physically giant hominid sentient monster with magic powers. Typically pig headed and wielding a trident.

- ALttP Ganon
- Shadow of ALttP Ganon in LA
- FSA Ganon
- Yuganon
- Arguably Calamity Ganon, but as a deviant format

>"Evil Sorceror" Ganon
Refers to tall non-monstrous hominids with sorcerous powers that act as alter-egos to a beastlier ganon, or else act as his intelligent servant or equerry in mortal affairs.
- Agahnim
- Ganondorf in OoT
- Vaati in FSA (slap in the face to Vaati but oh well)
- Zant (establishing a trend of "Ganon's powerful agent who fights like Agahnim")
- Ghirahim
- Yuga

>"Mindless Beast" Ganon
Terrible pig-monster of varying degrees of hominidism that just smash stuff
- Ganon in OoT
- Ganon in Oracles
- Puppet Ganon in WW
- Ganon in TP
- Ganon before Yuga's possession in ALBW
- Dark Beast Ganon in BotW

>"Hollow Incarnation" Ganon
No personality, just a Ganon-esque weapon that serves to fight like him and for him
- Phantom Ganon in all appearances
- Phantom Zant
- The Blight Ganons in BotW

>"Dark Lord Warrior" Ganon
The Ganon that sells best, oriented around melee combat while being a toweringly tall humanoid
- Ganondorf in the smash series
- WW Ganondorf
- TP Ganondorf
- Demise

The most popular Ganon incarnation didn't even originate in a Zelda game for reference. Graphically originates in OoT, and made popular as a concept through the Spaceworld tech demo, which didn't even become a game. "Main deal" Ganon isn't a thing in-game.

To be honest Ganon still looks gayer due to those leather thigh highs and leotard over spandex. Spandex is fine on it's own but that shit is mad homogay son
