Link is one of Nintendo's most well known characters and has one of the most iconic looks in gaming with the green tunic. And while for me that look will never get old I do understand and appreciate the need to rework the look at some point so it doesn't just resemble every other iteration of the character from past games. With that said, what we got in BoTW was downright lazy and uninspired. Lets start with the uninspired part. This version of link is almost a complete rip off of the look we already got from wind waker barring the lobster design.
Why? Theres a reason the wind waker look was a starting outfit. Because thats exactly what it looks like. The BoTW outfit looks like your plain jane starting outfit you begin the game with before moving on to the incredibly superior green tunic. I mean, heres the hero of hyrule, Zelda's personal body guard and chosen warrior, showing up to defend the land rocking a shirt he bought off of QVC. Its literally a blue shirt with some white outlines around it. I guess with all the talk about smash and getting a BoTW link I'm left wondering why that would excite anyone. The look is so incredibly uninspired and isn't even a unique design at that having been just a rework of the WW outfit. I don't get the love for it.
