    It's absolutely insane to me how high poly the Link model in Twilight Princess looks, despite it only consisting of just about 4K tris - it's crazy how much life textures can bring to relatively small models

      @ultimateking2238 3 года назад +20

      The way his model works is that he has a base model that looks like a buzz cut and the rest is the no clothes model. The hair is a different model, likely to not interfere with the hats, and clothes are completely separate. I believe the model shown in this video is the model used in the memory cutscenes.

    OoT Young Link: 726 Tris
    MM Young Link: 722 Tris
    I like how the version of Young Link that has *less* polygons looks much better because it actually portrays his appearance like in his artwork.
    Ocarina of Time Young Link tried his best to match his artwork at the time but his model lacks his shoulder belt, has wide clothes, poofy hair, lack of sideburns and hair color being almost orange.
    Meanwhile, Majora's Mask Young Link looks just like his *actual* artwork of the game. He has his belt over his shoulder, his clothes are less wide, his tunic collar has been reworked, and his hair looks more on par to his concept art, being less poofy, more evenly split and having a lighter shade of yellow/orange.

    I’m actually surprised you didn’t bring more attention to the dual requirements of the GameCube vs Wii, and the Wii-U vs Switch when it came to TP and BOTW. One of the things that makes both those games legendary is how far they were able to push the previous gen consoles to such extremes.

    No Hyrule Warriors models? I really like their models for all the Links in there too.

      i think the only reason why it wasn't covered was because Hyrule Warriors is a spin-off game and he wanted to focus on the main series zelda games

    Aw, shucks. Wish this came out after the link’s awakening remake, just to see the very small plastic-like link model

    For the Majora's Mask model those bangs you mentioned are actually his side burns. You can see in some of the official artwork for the game that they gave him much longer hair than he had in OoT. Probably to tell the players that he has aged slightly.
