So is the purple really his hair or was Dobson just making d
shit up? These weird color choices Remind me to Yoshi's orange arms in mario world. Did they do it for better contrast?
So is the purple really his hair or was Dobson just making d. shit up?
you werent meant to notice it on crt
It's easily noticed even via RF.
who is dobson
anyway I always thought that was the bottom of his cap
he has purple hair because this is the cool rebel punk link with dyed hair that doesn't listen to his uncle
so he mellows out by LA?
Always what I saw
I hate Link's sprite in this game, because he starts the game sleeping in his bed my older brother would always be saying stuffs like "you're playing as a gay kid on his pajamas haha"
imagine if he had seen earthbound
He loves earthbound, that's what pisses me off!
Your brother sounds like a homosexual
its his hat morons
Clearly it was a design choice. Sprite with yellow hair looked shite.
It's just a sprite color choice for CRTs and how it would blend, you don't even notice. Only in the crispness of emulation.
Dobson is mentally ill and needs to take his pills and have sex with a trannie
I noticed
I ALWAYS noticed it, even via RF as a kid. I just thought it was part of his cap, it wasn't until much later that I found out that it was actually his hair.
what are you on about?
people have been making fun of links pink hair since before you were born
Looks pretty pink to me in these images from a magazine that took it's pictures on a CRT.
>Duck Shoot
>you don't even notice
Are you blind?
>Yoshi's orange arms in mario world.
In another universe there is a tard who broke a gamestop because Yoshi's arms aren't orange anymore
Christine, now goes by Chris. Fricked her dad.
>hurr durr you weren't meant to notice durrrrrr
were you all homies blind as children or what
lol zoomers think CRTs are black and white i guess?
MAYBE on RF, or a dying tv it could get washed out enough. idk it would probably still look pinkish. its a really bright color when compared to the rest of the sprite. compared to the rest of the game for that matter
i can only guess it was done for higher contrast. zelda 1 had a terrible problem with exactly that. its sprites were basically unintelligible and always blended together. 2 was better, but link can still get kinda "lost" in the background of some palaces ime. i guess once they got to SNES and had access to way more colors they just decided to "over-correct"
I would think it's the hat but why does it have sideburns?
They used orange on the cap, but in the art its yellow
I think it was to keep the sprite standing out in all environments since the pink was not used in any environment.
>Ctrl+F
>No mention of the 80's Zelda 1 and 2 manga series by Ran Maru where Link had purple hair.
Deepest lore.
I like that Zelda
Link looks gay as hell in this
It's just oldschool artwork was.
This doesn't look gay, but Link in pink leather does
And yet those boots allow him to walk on water like Jesus and those gloves let him break blocks.
Hella gay looking
I heard it's so he stands out more, because of how shitty the average CRT of the time was
>tranime image
>wrong opinion
Sad, many such cases
get off my board
That's clearly Hanna barbera
Early anime is basically Hanna Barbera

Melting pot of friendship I kneel
Nose too big to be anime
Go back to your containment website
It's just the brim of his hat.
Never understood the whole pink air psyop.
So what's the orange above the pink then?
What kind of fricking hat do you people think he's wearing ?
I just assumed his hair was like that and moved on
you guys have issues
It's the same color as the Rabbit to save memory.
I've heard it has to do with Link's bunny form. The palette is the same so the pink had to go somewhere.
The Zelda series was always queer coded
Its the hat. You can see two pixels of blonde/brownish hair sticking out on each side in front of the ears.
But the different tunics have the same color even though they have different hats.
