That was one of the many neat things of the Wind Waker, going back to its roots with pirates, Link was only missing flying.


Holy... You're right. I never thought of that. It's almost creepy.

True peter pan does share the green look.

I wouldn't go as far to say that makes link "generic" though. Maybe influenced by but not generic.

And let's not forget, mythology has had "fey" characters and fairies and elves and woodland adventurers in green for forever.

This is why Zelda isn't about story. Zelda is really timeless mythos revisited, a sensation instead of a purpose, and an adventure instead of a lesson.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Bollocks.

They should have made his tunic and cape flaming red, given him an AK-47, and turned him into a Communist revolutionary trying to free the oppressed people of Hyrule from the feudalistic rule of Princess Zelda.

Pointless originality FTW :P.

It's only the matter of time.  Maybe Link has no happy thoughts.
