It is isn't it?
This. Although I kind of really like Super Smash Bros. Melee's style of having just the black tunic and hat while retaining Link's other coloration, the "Dark Interloper" reference to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is just perfect (and it beats just having an "all dark silhouette", like in the "Link vs. Dark Link" Event Match). On a side note, I'm hoping that "Dark Toon Link" (made in the same style) is kept as well.
A nod to the mirror shield, mebbeI would like the Brawl design, if he had a black Master Sword and a black Hylia Shield. Seriously, why is the shield so white!?
Oooh a trail effect on the eyes would be sooooooooo cool.I'm thinking maybe they can turn it into an alt. costume by giving him some extra features. His eyes could have a trail effect and a deeper voice would be a nod to OoT's Dark Link. Like it's been said already, a dark Master sword would be common sense (black sword trails would be awesome). And maybe some of his attacks would have dark effects to them. Like the gale boomerang.
Is this a legit pic?
Yup, it's part of the 72-pic packet that was either leaked or released by Nintendo (as they usually do every time they unveil a character.)Is this a legit pic?
It sucks that his master sword is still blue though. That just doesn't make sense.Yup, it's part of the 72-pic packet that was either leaked or released by Nintendo (as they usually do every time they unveil a character.)
The shield might be the same color too... Notice the red bird insignia? Though I can't tell if the shield's black or it's still blue.It sucks that his master sword is still blue though. That just doesn't make sense.
Same here, although the extra red in the crest is a nice touch, but I find it odd that the triforce is so bright. And it's too bad we couldn't see his eyes. I wanted to see if there were any changes. This screenshot could be from an earlier build, however. So who knows, really. Changes could be made. This looks like a lazy port from Brawl. I wouldn't be surprised if they left him like that, sadly.The shield might be the same color too... Notice the red bird insignia? Though I can't tell if the shield's black or it's still blue.
EDIT: I zoomed in on it, I think that's definitely black. But I still preferred Brawl's Dark Link shield.
It is more purple, wihich is kinda the theme they are going with the Zelda and Link here. Dark purple, gray, and white.It sucks that his master sword is still blue though. That just doesn't make sense.
