Sage of Tales
I started up playing Ocarina of Time again, the other day and into today... a new game, so I've been running around as kid-Link. I've noticed something about Zelda's guards and the guards at Kakariko... It's not like I've not noticed it before, but playing anew inspired me to make a topic about it.
Do the guards' uniforms strike you as funny? I'm thinking, "Are they the summer-unis or something?" The guards seem to be wearing a combination of armor and... shorts.
Shorts. With armor.
Maybe it keeps them cool, or they expect that the shorts will enable them to move swiftly (that's the excuse I use for adult Link opting for tights and tunic - combination "Kokiri-pride" to wear a Kokiri-type tunic and the tights with no armor for swiftness/ease of movement - same excuse I use on Sheik - being a "stealth-fighter" for which protection is sacrificed for ease of movement), but... those guards *do* have armor and chainmail, so why the freakin' shorts?
It just seems so... goofy. All that protection for the upper body and exposed legs.
