He looks way cooler with the hood and cape tbh. Feels like a more modern take of a fantasy elf man.

The badass fucked up arm adds extra points

Wish the hood could be toggled in the menu instead of having to complete a quest chain and talking to an NPC. Only way to cheese it is to buy two hoods and have one changed to the down variant.

Hylian Hood and Armor was my favorite set in BOTW. I think the hood down version might be even better.

I hate to agree, but it gives Link a distinct look.

All of my life, I thought Link was Robin Hood with elf ears.
I was wrong -- he's a Peter Pan who can't fly.

With the hood, he's neither of those things. He's Link. If you can be non-derivative, it's better to be non-derivative.

I never really registered him a "dork" but it kind of makes sense and sort of explains a bit further why Zelda fans are generally on the dorky side.

The latest designs without the cap are a cool look though and one day I hope to be able to sit down and give these latest games the attention they deserve.

I like his phrygian cap but that's mostly because I associate that garment with the Thracians more than elves.

Hard disagree.

The dude in almost all games I can remember has woman and even some men throwing themselves at Link.

Link was a child in OoT and had adult woman hitting on him, then even showing regret for not making advances. Then there's ofc the Zora princess, and his implied baby mama Malon. OoT isn't the only game with men and and woman being infatuated by Link too.

Kinks aside, stereotypically I don't think of "geeks" and "dorks" as something woman and some men throw themselves at.

You can definitely be a bit dorky and have that. I wouldn't really call that a defining trait of Link though. Most versions of Link that have a personality have their moments of that though. Also I don't think Malon in-game ever shows romantic attraction to Link. Talon just asks him if he wants to marry her, and most people assume he eventually did after Majora's Mask because TP Link is a rancher and descendant of the Hero of Time.

I do somewhat agree with the original post that they never intended Link to be such a badass soldier like he is in BOTW and TOTK, but things change obviously. They don't even let you give Link a name anymore. Considering most versions of Links are different characters though, it only makes sense that they're all a bit different. As long as they've got courage and willpower, they're Link.

He looks way cooler

Well if we're going to "cool" we should have him in sunglasses and a pack of smokes rolled up into the sleeve of his white tee.

Or you know, keep the cap because it's distinct and unique and not grimdarkedgeteencool.

I don't think just adding a hood makes in "grimdarkedgeteencool"... Especially since the Champion's Leathers (like in the art) are a bright blue and even the matching Hylian armor is a bright red...

Complete Mayor re-election questline (it's like 3 quests combined) in Hateno Village and then talk to Cece wearing the hood and she'll put it down for you

This feels really stupid. Also was there an option for this in botw or is it only in totk?

You have to go to Cece in Hateno Village and ask for a fashion check when you're wearing the hood. You may need to do Hateno Village's questline before that though. Not sure. It's a pretty quick series of quests to get through though.

Also, pretty sure this is new to TOTK.

The hood and armor combo you get early on in both games look the best. I change the amor from red? To black and keep it the rest of the game. Unless I need to fight the cold or crossdress.

It's also pretty easy to upgrade, so the armor rating for it will usually be the highest of your whole stock. I pretty much always wear the hood and switch out the shirt and pants when needed.

That quest chain was awful. And the reward was so not worth it

The green tunic (any of them) + hood down is the best look imo

But nothing will ever top Twilight Princess box art link. A shame the game didn't actually look like this

Back in Ancient times wearing pants was considered as a "barbarian" practice among the Greeks and Romans. Wearing pants was associated with the Persians and other cultures of the near east, eventually the Romans incorporated pants into the clothing they wore.
