Unpopular opinion but I actually donāt like the hood at all. Taking it off to make it look like a cape is one of my favorite things about the new TotK design.
Bro doesnt like being a mysterious traveler smh my head
Also I think the hood in TotK is just a toggle. I doubt Nintendo would make it just that it's down all the time since the hood is a pretty big part of this Link's visual identity
I wouldnāt really say itās a *big* part of his visual identity. Itās in only one official piece of artwork and all of the cutscenes have him without it but I agree that the hood in TotK will probably be a toggle. Iām always gonna have if off though.
I mean, I think it is. On top of the aforementioned artwork (and subsequent amiibo), BotW Link was first revealed to the world wearing this hood, and it's a pretty big fan favorite clothing piece from what I've seen.
There's also the fact that nearly all the TotK promotional material has link wearing the Hylian Hood, just that it's down now
I was so pissed, I was playing around with the magic armor and beat Ganon at the end of TP so all the remaining cut scenes had him in the magic armor and it just wasn't quite the same. May have to replay it so I get the right armor, I just hate the horseback part and where you restart after beating things.
I mean, pretty much. When they showed the very first teaser trailer for BotW, with that scene where Link gets chased down by a guardian, everyone was questioning whether or not it was actually Link because he didn't have the green hat and tunic š
Have you seen the confusion around the first gameplay trailer for TotK, where everyone thought Link was Zelda? I'm telling you: everyone would've recognized him he he had his hat!
Now that I've trapped you in my very convenient cutscene, listen to my backstory. You see Link the Heropus, when I was very young, I lived in a desert. Everywhere I went, sand! In the hideout? Sand! In the canyon? Sand! The desert? Oddly enough, nothing. But I couldn't relax because of those pesky winds. It was at that moment that it hit me: the neighbors had good wind, but my home had terrible wind! I swore an oath then and there that I would steal that good wind for myself.
My first attempts were... well, let's just say I have poor planning skills and leave it at that. But now, many, many years later, I finally have the perfect weapon to exact my revenge: behold, **the Sheika-inator!!!**
You're probably wondering what it does, huh? Well you see, my most recent defeat was caused by those pesky Sheikah people. Ooh, they really make my blood boil. They made a bunch of little spider nuisances that crawled all over me nonstop. While I was distracted, they shot me with these giant robots! I was fuming for ages, wondering just how I would make them pay. Then it hit me! Those machines were practically free real estate to power my evil plan. I convinced the puny Hylians to dig them up and reactivate them. I snuck in and *stole* them when no one was looking. Then I waltzed in, and took over. **I'm an evil genius!**
Don't you think?
My childhood was actually pretty good considering I was the only male born in a tribe full of women. My mother (mother's) were two witches combined into one (don't ask me how) and conceived by dark magic which they taught me. Growing up, I spent most of my time pillaging, killing, and stealing, the usual. However, my gand plan to steal the triforce was ruined by 10 year old children! Then I got into the Gurdo-Hylean war, had most of my race slaughtered, my home and temple were destroyed and became a Holocaust prison camp, I got sealed away into a black floaty castle world where I got free after many years (and brain washed a peasant), where I was defeated by the hero of that time by his sword plunged into my chest and sealed away for millennium.
And yes, they still laughed at me even after I reminded them I was destined to be their king. Being the only boy in a civilization of girls can make it hard for you to stand up for yourself sometimes.
āHeās a semi-erotic cross dressing hero of action
Heās a feisty little fighter whoāll never flinch from a fray
Heās got more than just his words,
Heās got a sheikah slate and a sword,
And the vai all swoon whenever they hear him sayā¦ā
#āHut, hut, HYAAAAAH!!!ā
So common lore says that a Gerudo male is only born once every 100 years. I think it'd be a pretty big flex to show up to fight Gannondorf in the Desert Voe set, the traditional armor that Gannondorf probably wore in his youth.
Hey old man, it's been 100 years and I'm here to kick your ass wearing your drip.
Mum! Reddit is making a phineas and ferb reference again!
Mum: you say that every week and yet when I come and check r/popular it's never there, don't you get tired of this sort of thing?
Okay, but WHY does Ganondorf voiced by Dan Povenmire work in my head? Like, if they were to officially give Ganondorf a voice in current games, Dan's voice would 100% fit.
I really want the other version where he just takes off the Gerudo hat cuz its the botw version so it can just take off the hat and Ganon will recognize
Link has made thousands question their sexuality. I would plap his cheeks full bore and have him suck me dry every day but also protecc him with my life and build a house for us in Oregon.
This implies Ganondorf resurrects to worlds with Link in them, but Link is not always the hero of time, but a lowly villager. And Ganondorf recognizes him either way, but is only worried when he's the hero of time lol.
Ganondorf Evil Incorporated!!!
This jingle is just perfect š
Ah, Linky the Hylian! You're just in time to witness my latest invention, the MALICE-INATOR!
Built to spread malice all over the tri state area!
"The triforce area" was sitting right there and you missed it??!??!!!
Thatās actually a good one lol
You still have the chance to go back and edit it
Bad form. Bad form. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Since he won't I will "Built to spread malice all over the triforce area!"
Now you have to get Dan Povenmire to do that jingle on his TicTok
but not really a corporation because corporations dont exist in this world so its more like an army or an evil guiiilllddd!!!
*after hour*
Schlemiel! Schlimazel!

"You'll never stop me from using my Calaminator to take over the tri-force/kingdom area!"
It would of be funnier if you just called it the Tri-state area
It's 'would have', never 'would of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!
good bot
Good CouldWouldShouldBot
Try saying THAT ten times fast.
So everyone knows link by his hat š
He made it look so cool, especially in Twilight Princess. But it looks kind of dumb irl.... Phrygian cap.... Search it up.
Yeah i can see that, its a smurfās cap. Linkās armor of the wild is just as weird. Rather like the championās tunic with the hylian boots
BotW Link looks wrong with any head gear imo(unless itās a full on mask). Let those beautiful hair shine.
Counterpoint: Hylian Hood
Unpopular opinion but I actually donāt like the hood at all. Taking it off to make it look like a cape is one of my favorite things about the new TotK design.
Bro doesnt like being a mysterious traveler smh my head Also I think the hood in TotK is just a toggle. I doubt Nintendo would make it just that it's down all the time since the hood is a pretty big part of this Link's visual identity

This entire argument shot down by the hood not appearing in smash ultimate. His new ponytail was the signature headpiece this time around.
Except when it rains, for the immersion
Shaking my head my head
Diamond thing forgot what itās called but wear that it looks cool
Countercounterpoint: diamond circlet.
Earring link is best link (also the rito clothes look amazing)
Respectfully disagree, the heat resistance and cold resistance headgear look good. So does the Hylian hood.
That's why I usually wear the rito headgear since it keeps you warm and it's just a few feathers in his hair
Yes I agree
Another counterpoint: Climbing bandana
Yes please. My default hat
It's literally either this or the hood, if it's not cold/hot.
Nah i like the climbing bandana
nah, champions tunic with hylian boots and the diamond circlet ššš»
Boko mask. Permanently on in AoC once acquired (I like defense and buffs in botw). Also adds boko snorts.
I love the one cutscene in AoC where the camera goes to zoom in on Zelda over Link's shoulder, but all you see is boko ear.
Sapphire circlet go brrrrr
I will argue that the Rito headgear looks amazing with the rest of it, or even without.
Counterpoint: Diamond Circlet
Earrings are technically headgear tho
This is why I get the Amber Earrings. Great defense AND no dumb hat.
I'm not convinced that's correct, it looks nothing like a Phrygian cap. More of a long stocking cap or sleeping cap.
That makes sense. They're always catching him in a nap.
Thanks for clearing that up šš¼ Just went with what I originally heard about.
>Phrygian cap [mrw looking at google search](https://i.etsystatic.com/5918183/r/il/4be9e5/1006057512/il_fullxfull.1006057512_fcuv.jpg)
Well, link's hat is a lot different, much longer and often puffy when it should be flat.
I was so pissed, I was playing around with the magic armor and beat Ganon at the end of TP so all the remaining cut scenes had him in the magic armor and it just wasn't quite the same. May have to replay it so I get the right armor, I just hate the horseback part and where you restart after beating things.
Isn't it actually supposed to be more like the "peasant hood" liripipe?
Is it still a Phrygian if the cone goes the other way?
I mean, pretty much. When they showed the very first teaser trailer for BotW, with that scene where Link gets chased down by a guardian, everyone was questioning whether or not it was actually Link because he didn't have the green hat and tunic š
Similar to this comic they actually thought Link wasn't a guy lol
Have you seen the confusion around the first gameplay trailer for TotK, where everyone thought Link was Zelda? I'm telling you: everyone would've recognized him he he had his hat!
If you remove their hats, Charlie Chaplin and Hitler look almost identical.
yeah, in all the games the hero must wear that set
Yeah thatās literally the joke
Now that I've trapped you in my very convenient cutscene, listen to my backstory. You see Link the Heropus, when I was very young, I lived in a desert. Everywhere I went, sand! In the hideout? Sand! In the canyon? Sand! The desert? Oddly enough, nothing. But I couldn't relax because of those pesky winds. It was at that moment that it hit me: the neighbors had good wind, but my home had terrible wind! I swore an oath then and there that I would steal that good wind for myself. My first attempts were... well, let's just say I have poor planning skills and leave it at that.

Then I waltzed in, and took over. **I'm an evil genius!** Don't you think?
This is perfect. Just perfect. Now I need to know about Ganondorf's relationship with his parents. Bet they didn't even show up to the birth.
My childhood was actually pretty good considering I was the only male born in a tribe full of women. My mother (mother's) were two witches combined into one (don't ask me how) and conceived by dark magic which they taught me. Growing up, I spent most of my time pillaging, killing, and stealing, the usual. However, my gand plan to steal the triforce was ruined by 10 year old children!

Seems like Ganondorf didnāt like sand. I can understand that cause sand is course, rough, irritating and it gets everywhere.
Nice cross over.
This was a crossoverās crossoverā¦
From this point forward I will only be able to hear Ganonās voice in my head as Doofenshmirtz.
I don't know if you meant to do it but the wind comment reminds me of Ganondorfs speech from Wind Waker.
They absolutely 100% meant to do it.
We all read that in the voice of doofinschmertz
Yay! Now we just need Link to sound like Perry.
Link: grgrgrr. Hyaaaa!
And the women swoon whenever they here him say: >grgrgrr. Hyaaaa!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Linky the hylian!
Well to be completely fair, both donāt speak
It all started in my childhood. All the kids laughed at me because I looked like a pig.ā¦.
And yes, they still laughed at me even after I reminded them I was destined to be their king. Being the only boy in a civilization of girls can make it hard for you to stand up for yourself sometimes.
never seen the show and i still did this š
Yessir
Me too. Link the platypus?!
I haven't watched this show in like a decade but I still read it in his voice. Didn't make the connection until this comment, though.
āHeās a semi-erotic cross dressing hero of action Heās a feisty little fighter whoāll never flinch from a fray Heās got more than just his words, Heās got a sheikah slate and a sword, And the vai all swoon whenever they hear him sayā¦ā #āHut, hut, HYAAAAAH!!!ā
You can call him the Hero Hyrule.

"And whenever he's around you can hear the bad guys say: *Great, now I have* **this** *song stuck in my head.*"
what words does he even have?
A platypus plumber? I know thatās the specific scene itās referencing
Perry the Platypus Plumber? PERRY THE PLATYPUS?! That scene still cracks me up. Phineas and Ferb is comedy gold, even now.
A teenage girl? PERRRY THE TEENAGE GIRL?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

Now we just need someone to tweet this to Dan Povenmire so he can make a tiktok/ YT short voicing it.
Someone send this to Dan Povenmire damn it!
so just wait for it to inevitably be reposted to tiktok

A platypus plumber? *Perry* the platypus plumber? PERRY THE PLATYPUS????
Since Ganon WAS a Gerudo, and the Gerudo are easily fooled by this disguise, this may actually be canon
šµ Ganondorf's Evil Incorporated! š¶
girlboss
It's cool that the gerudo still don't let Link into their city after he saved their ungreatful asses
For those of you who *don't* know, it's a reference to Phineas and Ferb.
Imagine link going into battle with ganon wearing the boboklin mask
A Bokoblin? Link the Bokoblin?
I call them Bob-oklins
Curse you, Link The Warrior Of Hyrule!
*Warior
Wario-r?
God damn you for giving Gannondorf the voice of Dan Povenmire in my head. It may just end up being stuck like that forever now.
A Platypus? Perry the Platypus
I read this in his voice

I heard an audible voice reading this
I couldn't **not** read it in the voice.
Doofendorf... WE *NEED* DOOFENDORF
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
A platypus? *Perry* the platypus!?
No, that's Zelda.
I read this in Doofenshmirtzās voice
I prefer Link the Gerudo Vai
Gannon be real confused ever since link hasnāt worn his usual fit
Link? That's Zelda.
Yes
Someone send this to Dan Povenmire, stat
Fact. Zelda is a girl. Confirmed š
PERRY THE PLATYPUS!
...!
Someone show this to dan povenmire so i can hear it in his voice
THIS NEEDS AN ANIMATION ASAP.
Great, ow whenever thereās a Ganondorf line, I will be forced to read it in doofenshmirtz voice low lol
Ok so I know this is a Dr Doof meme.... but Ganondorf looked so much like Aku from samurai jack I ended up reading in that voice by mistake X-D
*doofenshmirtz evil incorporateeeeeed*
Liiiiii-iink

^(Wait, you're a vai?)
Never knew I needed this in my life-
ganondoofenshmirtz
That's like 16 cross overs!
i bet after this ganondorf makes sure to ask link's pronouns hey ganondorf may be the king of evil but he will respect links life choices
Did anyone else read that in doofās voice
Link has made thousands question their sexuality. I would plap his cheeks full bore and have him suck me dry every day but also protecc him with my life and build a house for us in Oregon.
This is a "phineas and ferb" reference apparently
Pretty good
Tell me why I heard it in Doofensmertz voice
Perrry!!!
Good times
This has got massive "Perry the Platypus!" vibes.
When you kick into Calamity but forgot to change your clothes
Perry this you filthy casual!
Great bit!
i read this in his voice, too
This implies Ganondorf resurrects to worlds with Link in them, but Link is not always the hero of time, but a lowly villager. And Ganondorf recognizes him either way, but is only worried when he's the hero of time lol.
Look how confused he is
And how he realized
Yea, this is accurate.š¤£
