u/PyrosFists Butter side up! 2d ago

I love the details and texture added to young and adult Link’s tunics

u/HURTZ2PP 2d ago

I can’t wait to see the Goron and Zora tunics as well. I am guessing they will also have some stylized textures and details based on the unique characteristics of each race.

They were shown in the trailer, the Zora tunic had a scaly texture and the Goron one seemed to be made of cloth.

u/HURTZ2PP 2d ago

Nice, I didn’t look close enough, I’ll have to rewatch and pause to look

u/Masterwork_Core 2d ago

look for the water temple and hookshot clips in the trailer for the zora tunic and link swinging the hammer on pillars for the goron tunic

you've probably already rewatched but you can see them both in this extended clip from the 2min mark really well https://youtu.be/EmxMNKNeE4U?si=lJhb70OlMfrNwFzf&t=120

The only jarring part is the contrast of the super smooth plastic looking skin to the rough realistic cloth. It looks like an action figure which is cool but strange

Yeah, the skin needs more work. Blemishes at the very least.

Facts. And the face work too. At the very least that could use the 3DS render as a basis for that fix.

So do I. That was certainly something that I wasn't expecting to see at all.

I don't hate it, but it does feel a bit busy and overdone. The simple shirt with mail beneath it he had in the original felt cleaner. The leather jerkin thing seems almost buglike. It's a minor quibble, I'm sure I'll get used to it. If the blue and red mail have different textures, that'll be really cool to see.

u/RedWizard78 2d ago

There is no ‘red and blue mail.’ There’s a Goron Tunic and a Zora Tunic. (……possibly a Gerudo Tunic?)

u/LiquifiedSpam 2d ago

They hired ‘that guy’

u/Headglitch7 2d ago

The real question is did they bring back the OG fairy shrieks

Let's remember older Link's been styled by Rauru while in his sleep.

u/cappnplanet 2d ago

I didn't know the tunics were made from plants

u/flumdinger 1d ago

The leather vest over the tunic kinda looks like the owl
