Official Toon Link support thread, home to the Knights of the Drowned Kingdom!

[BoG]

I must admit, I didn't really care when this was a rumor. But seeing him in the game brings memories of my favorite Zelda game. He'll be my #3, after Snake and Olimar. and I'll be playing so much #3 will hardly mean anything.

 

[AuraLancer]

I would like to say that Toon Link is a horrible, horrible name.

But at least he got in, I guess.

 

[sdhonda]

He Looks So Cute

 

[motsalogeL]

But seriously, most of us wanted him to actually be cel shaded right?

 

[Burning Lava]

Now you see why I wanted ranks Fawriel? How are we going to distinguish a long time member who support WW Link for many months before now from... Z hoot?

Well... most of us oldies will be able to vouch for eachother... most likely it won't be a big deal.

But seriously, most of us wanted him to actually be cel shaded right?

Yes, I'm not sure what's up with that... you did read my little consolation post about that right? Please do.

Also, since I'm not gonna watch the video, can someone please tell me if he at least has decent idle animation, or like... does his hair move around and stuff? Or is he just a solid chunk of polygons?

*Sigh* I don't know... yes, he looks different than we expected/wanted, and yes he seems rather clone-ish, (apparently) but perhaps Sakurai was on the fence with him, and we just barely lucked out and got him. I know what Fawriel would say to that, and yes, it's a good argument, but eventually, as we have no real influence other than "voting with our dollar," we will have to move on and accept the game how it is. None of us are going to refuse to buy it... even if hundreds of us did... it wouldn't affect anything. (Maybe hundreds of thousands? )

I don't know how much more of this I can take. I might have to take a long vacation from these boards. Knight against Knight, friend against friend? I guess this is just going to be going on for a while, and while some are getting over it, or are actually perfectly happy, others are still voicing their discontent. And then, to make matters worse, people take that too personally, and defend the game without considering that they are just voicing their frustration. Everyone knows that they will play the game, and enjoy, it... it's just some people are troubled by just how much they have to accept before they can relax and have fun. I mean, some of the choices made for Brawl are rather baffling.

Hmm... that was rather long winded... maybe I should put this Wind Waker away while typing up posts.

 

[Pluvius]

That's just his Japanese name. Though, what name would you recommend, bearing in mind that Sakurai probably wanted the name to represent the character as he is, rather than a game from which he originated.

He Looks So Cute

That he does.

But seriously, most of us wanted him to actually be cel shaded right?

I know I did. He looks so out of place in his level. Why they cel-shaded only his stage & not him is beyond me, but at least his stage is gorgeous.

 

[motsalogeL]

How many stages are there anyway? I am worried about that as well...

 

[Bassoonist]

I believe there's 40 (or 41, I can't remember), not a very impressive amount.

 

[RegalBuster]

I'm glad he's playable.

 

[vull45]

smashboards is working to slow for me to look through all the posts but what does his final smash look like?

 

[Ogre_Deity_Link]

Count me in. He's a (form of) Link, so of course I'll main him. I HAVE to.

 

[ylink_underestimted]

Wow SWF seriously failed...the last two times I posted I didn't even know that I had double posted...

Anywayz: HOORAY TOON LINK!!!!!!! (Screamed when I saw him on Youtube right now haha)
Though I it's saddening that he's a clone...I still main him though, it'll probably remind me of Young Link.

Brawl really seems like SSB64 though, what with getting C. Falcon and Ness as secrets, the somewhat slow consecutive hit attacks, etc. Yeah it brings it all classic again, but I just seemed to like Melee a lot better. Oh well, still can't wait until I get it XD

 

[Ridley FTB!!!]

now i want them create a smash 4 or download charcter via shop channel

 

[Lovely]

now i want them create a smash 4 or download charcter via shop channel

Is that game even going to be on Wii?

Anyway, I love that fact that Toon Link is in, I'm guessing it's because I liked him in the game. I have to see how diffrent he plays then Link.

 

[espio87]

sad news everyone. Toon Link's final smash is the triforce slash.
you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HU_AJbx10Q

 

[Fawriel]

Darnit!
... wait. That's awesome!
I mean, sure, it's cloned, but imagine how cool he must look!

Erm. That is... I can only imagine. Could you tell me around what time his FS is shown? I don't want to spoil too many other ones for myself...

it's near the end of the video, at 8:06

 

[Fawriel]

Aah, thanks. Hmm... not bad.
*sigh* It shows that he really isn't as bouncy as I wished he would be... but oh well.





Little announcement!

Yeah, it's really not that important, but I didn't want to double-post. =P
So now that I have your attention, go here:
http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=134063&page=119

The thread is about Stryks' War of the Clubs. It's a pretty nice comic about the character clubs, and considering that we're one of the few who "won", that should be interesting by itself already, no?
Now, scroll down on that page to post 1775.
Stryks is planning to hold a lottery to draw ( in "high detail" ) a member of a club who is interested in participating.
So if you're interested, participate. =P

 

[Stryks]

As one of the founders *I came up with the idea of makin a WW club, fawriel decided it was a good idea* I COMMAND U TO CLICK DA LINK!!!

please? XD

 

[motsalogeL]

And as the person who came up with the name and supported WW Link (Toon Link? Don't talk to me about toon Link...) ages (Even if I didnt realize there was a thread until October) I command you to click da Link as well.

 

[ylink_underestimted]

Oh well, it seems Toon Link turned out to be some sort of Link-clone (it burns me to say that). Toon Link went against the things I wanted him to be: Cel Shaded, jumpy, NOT a Link-clone.
But again I say that I will still probably main him 'cause he seems to have replaced YLink, only looking different.

Ironically, when I scrolled to the post and read where it said "free porn", my computer slowed down hahaha
But that's only 'cause I have almost 2 gigs worth of music...I need a flashdrive...

I dunno, maybe I'll participate some other time when I'll actually be active for a while.

SHOOP DA WHOOP!!!

I have an idea though, since I'm actually trying to get good grades in my classes this semester, I have some free time when I get done with my work.
So would it be cool if I draw the Knights of the Drowned Kingdom? If so, how would I draw everyone? For example: would I draw everyone as Young Link/Toon Link, or will everyone tell me how they would like to be drawn?

Go Toon Link!!!

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

Okay, I plastered my name in a tiny post in that monstrous thread. Let's hope it's tiny voice reaches.

Hero of Winds 4 Ever!

Wait, you have more free time because you're trying to get good grades?

Oh well, if it gets me drawn, I'm fine with it.

This is the concept sketch of General Fawriel that I made for Stryks: http://chaos.foxmage.com/generalfawriel.jpg
If you're familiar with anime, you probably know the eyes always shut type of character. He's like that. ^^
I guess I should add some color, too...

 

[Dark Nemesis]

TOON LINK! SAAAAAAKUUUURAAAAAAAI!

Count me in, please. =)

 

[Vali]

*Applause*

Yeah it sounded weird to me too. Before, I just liked to get good test scores and hardly do work so I'd just draw random stuff, but I notice I do my work pretty fast, and I have some free time during "study hall" for band so haha

But no, I'm not familiar with the animé , but I could draw you like that if you want XD
If any other Knights want to get drawn, PM me: which tells me I have to fix up my inbox...

 

[motsalogeL]

Draw me like Stryk's draws me in the comic, except with WW styled Darknut armor and a long bow ; )

Is that ok?

 

[Johnknight1]

Well, I said I wouldn't main a character because I like them, but Megaman (sheds tear), and Wind Waker Young Link. I'ma gonna main Wind Waker Link (despite him being the steriotypical "clone"), and I shall PWN ALL!

BTW Stryks, just make me like my avatar, or something (even if I look nothing like Link). >_< And make me pretty d*** knightly while you're at it!

 

[motsalogeL]

(Its not Stryk's that is doing it)

 

[ylink_underestimted]

Yeah it's cool, I'll need to look at Stryks' comics again when I start XD

Oh n I'm the one doing it JohnKnight

 

[motsalogeL]

Has anyone got pics of WW Links sword?

 

[PXG]

If you guys want, I can make alternate KotDK signatures. And trust me, I am no Photoshop noob. I can make some REALLY nice stuff.

 

[PXG]

Sorry for the double post, but just wanted to show my signature.....

 

[motsalogeL]

Ok, that would be nice.

 

[Parassita]

Can I be part of the Knights of the Drowned Kingdom? I'm looking foward to maining Toon Link, he looks fun and quick to use, plus I'm a fan of the cell-shaded style.

 

[ylink_underestimted]

Depends on what Fawriel says, or can any Knight say "Yeah go ahead"? Because if so, I'd say yeah.

Another Knights sig would be cool. I'm a Photoshop n00b so yeah haha

I've also been thinking, should I just draw the Knights that are always active, or everyone for equality? Because (and I mean no harm) some people just go "Hey I like YLink/WW Link, can I join?" and I hardly ever see them in the thread...

 

[motsalogeL]

The active ones, its better.

 

[ylink_underestimted]

The active ones, its better.

I made an edit in case no one noticed.

Who are all the active ones? At the top of my head I can only think of you (Lego), Fawriel, me, Link to the Snitch, Wiseguy (I think), Stryks and thats it.

 

[Parassita]

I'll be active... I can't use photoshop or any program like that though! Umm... so what was the Knights of the Drowned Kingdom created for? Just wondering. I didn't ask to join just because I like Toon Link. I really do plan on maining him and possibly one other character. -cough, Dedede, cough-

 

[motsalogeL]

No don't do a Link to the snitch, he acted like a total asswipe in a lot of threads. He doesnt deserve one.
