Description The idea sparked form a video I saw in Youtube. It was a fake video about the next Legend Of Zelda game to come which would've been set in the future. Anyway, it got me thinking how would Link look if he were in the future and this is the result.

It was obvious I had to update his weapons but preferred to keep them somewhat classic and don't use fire weapons as they spoil the "Link concept". You can't appreciate it but I thought that these weapons would've been made with parts of the original ones (the Master Sword's grip and the Hylian Shield's emblem).

In case you can't see it well, I've decided to give him dreadlocks at the back of his head which look like his old cap (I like dreadlocks, they look stylish.... and fairly easy to draw (¬¬.) )

Edit: just a cheap edit in PaintShop Pro to make his head bigger.

Very nice!
I especially like the Shield.


My only major question is: 
Which of the three Timelines does this take place in?

I did this before the timelines were published so they weren't taken into account. However, this would be set so far into the future that it could fit in any of them.

It'd be cooler if Future Link had a Bionic Arm.

Maybe, but that is not the direction I wanted to take.

Or at least a wrist communicator that contains his gadgetry. It'd be awsome.

i don't know why, but his gloves remind of dr. horrible. O.o

anyway, i love your design! this is so awesome! while i'm not actually a huge fan of dreadlocks myself, i think you did a pretty rad job with them here. i'd have to say though that the forcefield shield is definitely my favorite element. now all he needs is some robots to slice in half!

He looks fine to me. The hat adds a new look to him. X3

N0B0D1 In reply to HopelssRomanticGhost [2008-02-04 06:46:19 +0000 UTC]

actually, it's not a hat but his own hair (in "dreadlock mode"). Also, his head has grown!

Could you make a future Ganondorf?
That would be awsome

Nice work!
Sure the head's off-scale, but it's really well-done.
Perhaps this will become the new Link? X"]

It would sure be nice for a change, but I don't think the guys in Nintendo would even consider it.

thanks for the comment; but i fail to see why the face is worse than the rest

It looks out of scale, like it's smaller than it's supposed to be.

Ah yeah, now that you say it you're right. Curiously enough, it happens to me quite a number of times but i usually resize the head again after doing the body. Must practice more on proportions!
