Description So instead of working on the last commissions I'm drawing female Link. Sorry about that.

I have seen many gender swapped Links before but I just wanted to draw her in a way that didn't involve her showing ass and tits, or bending around to make her curves stand out, or with a mini skirt or with a boob window/unbuttoned shirt, cleavage, giant breasts... well, you get the idea.

So, did I manage to make Link look feminine with those those little touches to his original designs?

And yes, that's his badass scarf of badassery.

I failed on giving her muscular arms, tho. First because I had her covered with the whole tunic/chain mail combo and then I couldn't find a way to draw her in her "civvy" clothes that I was happy with.

Also the messy hair made me giggle

Going back to those commissions!

You're right about the ass and tit thing, I think it's a bit childish.

That may be why so many people got mad and confused when they saw the first images of the new Link. It didn't fit their notions of what a male or female Link should look like and that threw them off

About that... what's the hissy tissy for? Whe've been through 16 games (not counting crossplatform which is 26 games) I don't think Nintendo is going to change Links gender, and some people don't think it's Link, WHY WOULDN'T IT BE LINK?

A. A female
B. Isn't Link

Love it! Too often have I seen genderswapped Links that are too sexy and stray into impractical and ridiculous territory. Fem!Link can be sexy, absolutely, but let's remember she's still Link; a crazy skilled MC in a hostile magical world. I think you struck the perfect balance here.

one of the best genderbend i seen, you really made her look good but still so that she looks like a hero.
and i think she looks very strong in her civil clothes, just like she should when you think about how she works at the farm and all

Link's so goddamn bishie that he could pass for a girl anyway, but this is good stuff.

yeah, when I was checking the official art for eye shape and stuff, I started to realize I was going to draw him very similar to how I drew Zelda before, hee hee.

Well, considering the official artist's wife wanted Link to be Bishie rather than cartoonish...

yeah, for OoT they were going to use a Link that looked more like the one from a Link to the Past, you know the goofy hair, round nose, and kinda short, but the artist's wife asked him why not make him prettier and well the results speak for themselves.

This looks really good!!

This is what I imagine a female link would actually look like. dressed for practicality!
yet still you've managed to show that she is obviously female underneath.

good work

Well no worries
I've always liked your style when you did different Zelda characters, guess it was just a matter of time before you did this one, so I had to comment this time
