not really the eyebrows, nose, eyes, and mouth are different.

Doesn't the hair look longer in the right screenshot though?

No? Not at all?

 

[KingBroly]

Detective-GAF needs to move their focus back to the leaked concept art and stop getting distracted by the sisters lanyard.

GameXplain's doing an in-depth analysis of it.

 

[what-ok]

Male/Female Link or not, the art and the designs of everything is just excellent. Feeling real good about this game.

Im am getting so excited for more information. Interested in seeing how the concept art translates to in game graphics.

 

[MistressMoitie]

Thing I'm most looking forward to this Tuesday is an end to all this ridiculous 'OMG LINK IS MALE/FEMALE/TRANS/A DOG' talk. I do not give a fuck either way but I am incredibly tired of every new piece of info/art devolving into microscopically analysing pictures in search of possible bust lines.

[bobbychalkers]

The bangs on the Links look different on the lanyard.

Not really. We've already seen how his hair, particularly on the sides, hangs down to about his shoulders.

 

[The_Lump]

Alternatively, they're just using the only two pieces of art that have been officially revealed before E3

what other pieces of Zelda artwork is there that Nintendo's revealed? It's only those two.

Why not epona then? Why just their two faces? Why both of them? Seems obvious to me

that there is some duality worth pointing out between the two figures. Otherwise it's a clumsy design decision imo.

Maybe it's young/old link. Maybe it's siblings. Maybe is male/female. Dunno.

But I've a feeling there will be some significance between the two revealed come Tuesday.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

GameXplain's doing an in-depth analysis of it.

But without detective-GAF, where will they get their material from?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Tuesday we'll find out if Nintendo hates women or not

Our culture is so bent on identity that we miss the point of just being.

I've been viewing the concept art very closely, put it through every tool I can think of, and I think I can now conclude with great confidence that it's from Zelda U.

 

[Mato]

Oh dear we've slipped into gender territory again. Guess it's time to go to bed.

 

[go_straight]

If there will be voice acting I'm going to kamikaze myself on the Nintendo hq in Kyoto.

 

[BGBW]

Grasping lanyards.

That will be great, but the terrible truth is that if there is a female option for Link, the discussions, not necessarily here on GAF but on the internet in general, will get ugly. And it wouldn't end, not for a long time.

 

[engineer87]

I'm still waiting for someone to find the trademark for the game's title. Most likely someone will find it on Monday or Tuesday morning before the Treehouse.

 

[udivision]

If this is actually from the Zelda NX version, you're gonna have to eat so much crow.

 

[Jay Sosa]

Lol at the overreactions from one promo image.

Spoiler

God I hope this game won't use those shitty AC/UC climbing mechanics

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

come the fuck on

 

[DoubleYou]

How would you guys feel about Hylian voice acting?

 

[kuroneko0509]

https://twitter.com/DartsEnthusiast/status/742112133467537409

Guess not.

lol obviously

 

[CrazyHorse]

I totally agree and I had actual hope for EA's conference. What a tremendous letdown that was.

It always has been. The other conferences are normally the better ones.

I fell bad for the people who travelled to it.

 

[BGBW]

Link on the left looks black and blue and Link of the right looks white and gold.

First off, no one gives a shit about Epona.

Second, they're the same character as both pieces of art have the same body type, clothes, armor, etc.

 

[Caffeine]

I wouldnt mind hylian voices. i certainly dont want english lol.

 

[Draeter]

not really the eyebrows, nose, eyes, and mouth are different.

No they are not, its just a different angle and a different expression, and im pretty sure this is the same dude with the hood on

What would even be the point of having a female character that looks just like the male version with at best subtle differences?

 

[Buttonbasher]

What if Links get split in male and female Link? It would fit well with the recurring duality themes of Zelda and would be a less-shocking way to introduce female Link.

"less-shocking"

 

[Merc_]

It's the same Link.

You guys are setting yourselves up to be angry later.

 

[Thoraxes]

AWWWW SHIIIIIIIIT

They don't just arbitrarily make the eye shapes different. This could be exciting.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

"less-shocking"

The Legend of Zelda series is 30 years old.

 

[kuroneko0509]

If there will be voice acting I'm going to kamikaze myself on the Nintendo hq in Kyoto.

hrmmmmmm

 

[RagnarokX]

But without detective-GAF, where will they get their material from?

Well, they couldn't tell that the castle is Hyrule Castle, so obviously this analysis will be great.

 

[AdanVC]

Hope more stuff doesn't get leaked by tuesday. I want to experience that genuine feel of surprise and amazement when they show Zelda.

 

[Rozart]

Male/Female Link or not. I want that lanyard. What pretty art hngg.

 

[Anteo]

https://twitter.com/DartsEnthusiast/status/742112133467537409

Guess not.

Im not too sure, they sightlyare different

 

[Menitta]

It's the same art.

 

[FloweryMarston]

now let's speculate: what's at the top of the mountain link is climbing?

the nx?
female link?
fi?
shigeru miyamoto?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Remember when IGN leaked Donkey Kong Country Returns right before it was revealed???
That's criminal.

 

[evilromero]

Fuck man. That looks amazing. You can also see quite a few landmarks.

 

[L Thammy]

now let's speculate: what's at the top of the mountain link is climbing?

shigeru miyamoto?

Another mountain, which he then has to climb

Rupees

[NateDrake]

Hmm, sounds like you've heard something, member of the gaming press??

Spoiler

I know you're not saying that but wanted to use that gif

Hahaha...nice.

Welcome to the wonderful world of photography.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

That will be great, but the terrible truth is that if there is a female option for Link, the discussions, not necessarily here on GAF but on the internet in general, will get ugly. And it wouldn't end, not for a long time.

It would be the same if there wasn't anyway.

 

[KingBroly]

You know details are lost going from digital to cloth, right?

 

[Neiteio]

You know what this means, right

Aonuma's new hobby is rock-climbing

And women

And grass

A sign with the release date.
