Link’s Smash Bros. Wii U design related to Zelda Wii U?
Posted on June 14 2013 by Cameron Smith
As a lot of you have surely heard, the long awaited Super Smash Bros. games for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS have been announced, and official artwork of Link’s appearance in this game has been released. While it is almost completely the design of Twilight Princess‘s Link, there are still minor differences which suggest another connection. Hit the jump to find out more!
The colours used this time around are visibly lighter, but the main difference is Link’s hair, with it being partially longer and somewhat shaggier. A comparison is provided below for your convenience.
When the original Super Smash Bros. was released, it contained a model of Link that was not unlike the model they used for Link in Ocarina of Time, and even though they didn’t have much choice in Link’s design due to the restrictions of the Nintendo 64, it leads us to wonder if these minor changes in Link’s design this time around are related to what he might look like in the upcoming Zelda Wii U title.
Do you think there might also be a connection, or just design choices? Let me know in the comments.
