Impressions

Am I the only one to realise how when link is not on the spirit train when fighting, it says he's replaced... yet toon link as a fighter and toon link from the train are from different eras?

No but the one on the train is from spirit tracks and only wields the lokomo sword whilst the fighter link has the wind waker and master sword, so has to be from wind waker/ phantom, so they different

Toon Link as a fighter doesn't just represent TWW Link, he represents the Toon design of Link, which appears in TWW, FS, FSA, TMC, PH, and ST.

If he was JUST TWW Link, he would be cslled Hero of Winds or something.

^true, but the thing is that in brawl, they directly said he was from wind waker, going as far as having a wind waker stage. He is a returning character, and is modelled completly off the hero of w

Just like how they said that the normal link is based on the deign from skyward sword, so if we take the timeline into account.. they are wrong

Yeahs0

Link is based off of SS? Not really. SS's design was based on impressionistic art. Link in SSB4 does not look like an impressionistic art figure. He's way too detailed for that. That is just the basic

Link design.

Link has a green outfit, and 2 possible haircuts-Hero of Time and everyone else. Then, there is the art design; chibi-toon, realistic, or early-series toon.

Yeahs0

but in a interview with sakurai he specifically said "we have updated link's image and build to match that of SS"

Yeahs0

That's what he's based off of, but that design is based off of TP Link. It's the generic Adult Link build. That would fall under the realistic Link build.

Yeahs0

Adult Link from SSBB, obviously based off of TP Link, had a blue fairy taunt, even though he never had a fairy (cursor fairy doesn't count).

Yeahs0

I know that twilight princess link was in ssbb, but that the SS link is in SSB4

Yeahs0

It goes melee had hero of time, to brawl had hero chosen by gods, to ssb4 had hero of light. They always update the link.

Yeahs0

Yeah, the design is based on his most recent appearance, but he represents all Links. Toon Link represents all Toon Link appearances.

Yeahs0

I guess there are 2 prospectives you can look at it, but you raise a good point none the less. Follow me and I'll follow u. I love Zelda just as much as u
