Adore the toon Link! He is so cute and expressive, WW is my favorite Zelda, and the amiibos for him are the best!

 

[EmSeta]

Best Link for sure.

 

[JustSomeone]

I despise all forms of Link

 

[takriel]

Many many many fans were let down when they saw Toon Link's design after that Dreamworld demo. I was certainly one of them.

While it makes Link more human and gives him a personality, I don't really like this design.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I despise all forms of Link

... Ganon?

 

[Nostremitus]

I didn't like Toon Link back when Windwaker was first announced because I wanted an OoT sequel.

Once I played Windwaker I didn't mind so much anymore, it was still a good game.

 

[Jonneh3003]

First the thread praising Witcher 3 for being the realistic Zelda we've all longed for, then this? I'm having flashbacks to 2003.

Companies shouldn't listen to us, we don't know what we want.

We want the same but then it feels too similar (Twilight Princess), we want differences but then it feels too different (Wind Waker).

 

[GeNoMe]

OP you are heartless

 

[Rambler]

Toon Link overstayed his welcome.

 

[Twilightzoney]

I mean I like Toon Link but don't like that he's been in Smash again. Would like to have seen MM Young Link instead. I guess as a kid always thought he was bad ass. Since he had skill and was a kid. haha.

I like Toon Links design in WW not how he looks in smash though.

 

[jacob armitage]

never play him, but i love him!

 

[Stallion Dan]

I dislike him and all Zelda characters in all games are terrible however much or little they express themselves.

 

[BassForever]

Only in the sense I don't think he should be a separate spot in the smash roster even if he's fairly decloned from Link. I'd rather the time spent decloning Toon Link went to creating another LoZ character for Smash.

 

[sanstesy]

He is the embodiment of everything wrong with Nintendo.

 

[Ivan 3414]

He is the embodiment of everything wrong with Nintendo.

lol.

 

[kromeo]

I don't really care about the character but he features in the two worst Zelda games, Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass

 

[NEO0MJ]

Nah, he da adorbs. How many male heroes can confidently wear a dress?

Plus like others mentioned he's one of those rare Links who have a lot of personality and you could almost see growth in him during Wind Waker.

 

[dh4niel]

Toon Link: Best Link

 

[SigSig]

TLoZ, TLoZ2, Awakening Link > Breath of the Wild, Toon Link > Skyward Sword Link > TP, OoT, MM Link > Oracles Link

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

lol.

Why is it funny to you that some people have different opinions than you?

 

[N.Grim]

I have opened the thread for this.
Best Link, best game.

 

[NotLiquid]

Took Link embodies the essence of Zelda's childlike wonder to the best possible extent.

And he's actually a character with personal motivation, development and expression, which is more than what can be said for a large majority of Link's other depictions.

So yeah, best Link.

 

[hurricanes]

He might not have the best games, but definitely is the best Link.

 

[Captain Europe]

Best Link, best art style. Wind Waker made me fall in love with the Zelda series.

 

[ScriptedReality]

Gotta go with my favorite Link.

 

[nkarafo]

I don't despise him but i don't like him as much as the others.

N64 young Link = Best Link for me. He is much more likable and just as expressive.

 

[fastmower]

Toon Link is the best of the series. Same with Wind Waker.

 

[nekkid]

Took Link is best Link. It's true to the original design of the series and the character.

I dunno, to me "realistic" Link comes off as try-too-hard, like they're trying to make it appeal to bro gamers and wannabe bro kid gamers.

 

[HackTheSlash]

Love me some Toon Link. Heck, he is even my avatar.

 

[Sir Abacus]

I still hate Toon Link because he displaced this:

 

[NumberThree]

Best Link without a doubt

 

[dd492941]

I wouldn't say I despise toon link, but if it means anything, the two pack amiibo with him and princess is the only link amiibo I didn't want to buy for the 30th anniversary as I love all thinks link and zelda. This Christmas alone I asked for the wolf link amiibo for botw when that comes out and a zelda key lanyard. I wear a zelda belt buckle and triforce cuff links to work almost daily.

 

[DoubleYou]

I really hope the next Zelda will re-introduce Toon Link. Or just start a new franchise called "The Windwaker" or something.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

ITT: People who bought some sour ass grapes.

Toon Link is pretty cool. And wind walker was alright, except for the triforce piece quest. Hated it.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Best Link, also in the best 3D Zelda!

 

[Drackhorn]

I still hate Toon Link because he displaced this:

Best Link still lives in another dimension.

 

[elshoelace]

Toon Link is best Link. He is so expressive!

 

[Parsnip]

He's fine but toon link is a terrible name.

 

[Caelus]

I still hate Toon Link because he displaced this:

He displaced an ugly tech demo with timeless character design?

 

[fadedbones]

Really don't like him either OP. Not really fond of any of the "toon" designs. I can't really see what people like about them so much :/

 

[LousyTactician]

Toon Link > Young Link

He's best incarnation of the Hero of Time ever.

 

[GodfatherX]

I still hate Toon Link because he displaced this:

This is no more true then saying this Link

Displaced this "game"

actually that demo was playable so one could argue it's far less true

 

[specdot]

Toon Link is best Link, OP.
This has been one of the best thread backfires in recent memory. Kudos OP.

 

[pinkurocket]

Blasphemy!

 

[Jim_Cacher]

This pic always got me.

 

[Octavianus]

No, but I've never been fond of Twilight Princess Link's design.

 

[Rambler]

I still hate Toon Link because he displaced this:

This looked like shit even back in 2000.

 

[YAWN]

How is this even possible?
Toon Link is the definition of charm.

 

[Bulbasaur]

His inability to guide his down B in Smash killed him for me.

 

[Spieler Eins]

The entire cast of WW is just hideous, yeah. Like some Chinese Disney ripoff or Bratz dolls. Though things like Zelda and the Deku Tree are more insulting than Link.
