If Link were a real guy in today's world, I think he'd look something like this.
I had fun redesigning him. I wanted to incorporate all the gear ideas I had for him, but it was starting to look pretty overloaded, so I narrowed down to a few important pieces.
Navi is a hummingbird. Because I said so, that's why.
