BlinkBoy: okey some things:

1rst the shield is a bit high poly, reduce it a lot more.

2nd Integrate all the textures.

3rd reproportionate the model, make him a bit taller and fix the face, make it less bumpy, if you get what I mean, and make the eyes smaller.

4rth Smooth the extra hair.

That's all, hope you update it so I can you plus rep, rating and approval.

BlinkBoy: The improvements are good, but you still need to reduce the shield's polygons and smooth the hair(Recalculate normals to it). That should be all before approval.

Pyritie: Changes made, resource approved.

Very nice, But there are some flaws.

1) The shield. Way too many polies.
2) In the Death animation, he falls through the floor and his corpse appears even before he decays. Just move everything up by like 50-90 during that animation (using bone_Root) and work on his geoset anims so that the corpse appears at the right time.
3) Three skins for a relatively simple model. Maybe you could merge Korki Sword and Deku Shield?

Otherwise, it's an excellent model. Just try to fix that decay bone, that's the only severe problem.

Nice! thx dude!

You realy make some good looking models!

Might have some small issues but ingame it looks very nice and it's usefull!
Keep up the good work! =D

Could you make Link aswell since some people always ask it.

THX THX THX

it's exactly what I need....

Azazel

The Link Model already existing is awfull, sry to say this, but its true.

Yours is ways better, but please make the legs more thin, it looks like a link wanna be villager kid ^^.

NIce though =).

Would be cool, if he could put the shield and sword on his back, so it would be really great for some zelda rpg =)

Greets

Yeah I always try to keep things low file size. I hate importing large models so glad you like it. I know the face needs improved I'm working on a new skin though in which all the textures will be combined though so it soon to be better.

Rysis said:

Um you want the adult/teen link the older version right? As DarkAngelAzazel said there already is one on here but its got a really big file size and not so great animations considering it uses the Big Goron Sword as the default weapon and the only way to get the master sword and the Hylian shield is uses most often you have to use the defend skill which isn't all that bad except it makes him walk in a constant crouch which is odd. So yes after I finish up few other things I'm working on I could do that. Gotta finish Zelda, and Ganondorf first. That and improve my sonic model and do some fix ups on Piccolo's animations though thats fix is low priority at the moment to me. (Sorry DBZ fans.) I also have plans to get a Meta Knight model done and thanks to Dan Van Ollus being willing to answer a few questions I've had on modeling I think I can get it done and do a good job.

Yes agreed as everyone else has said I do need to improve the face. And like I said in this post previously it will be worked on.

Lol I thought you'd like the job I did on this. After all you were the first person who requested it out of my two requesters.

Hmm putting his shield on his back will take some work. But i can say that it may eventually get done. I'm still working on making better animations. Haven't quite delved into completely custom animations but its starting to make mor sense all the time. When I learn how to do them good I'd be happy to do that for you. And of course one of his stand animations will be him drinking Lon Lon Milk. You said you wanted thinner legs? Why do you want thinner don't you mean not so thin at the bottom?

This version here doesn't contain the help with the textures you've helped with but the next version will. Um I haven't started Ganondorf yet but I have good plans going on how to do him. Zelda is nearing completion though. Mainly I have a few more torso and arm details to do and her head needs some slight fixes. But its going good.

Lol thanks FrIkY glad you think so. Somebody is a fan of Kimberly(Werewulf).

Nice that Zelda is nearly done and Meta knight is a wonderful idea!

Glad you think so Kimpakim. Anyone else have any comments?

mmmmm no, for now all good (at leats for me) XD another wonderfull idea that i whis to make but i are very busy whit my models of pikachu and kirby, its make some atachments as, the boomerang, the color tuncis, etc... well i think that can be useful for the model!

Nice job looks good
It works in wc3 and just wondering custom animations or took
from a different unit besides the child?

Um JDT Its had a lot of work done on the animations since the freaking child model has bone names that just don't match up. I spent about 4 hours working on the animations for this going through and editing footman animations to fit my liking and work with my model correctly. Things such as geosets only being visible when they should be. (Do you like a dead corpse following your cutey Young Link around all the time? I didn't. XD)

a weaponless one would be nice as well.

Why would you want a weaponless model of it?

Young link doesnt change sword.. a grown link should be without not young

My only critique is what BlinkBoy said in the moderation review.

Ghost765 said:

Well Ghost is right....

When the Game starts Link has no sword and no shield..

You have to find the kokiri sword and buy the deku shield to enter the Deku Tree....

And if you touch fire in the dodogons cavern your deku shield burns away....

IF it is not too difficult that would be a great model....

Well and another thing...

Ghost already knows it but i need the Dota spell (clock) hookshot for my zelda game... And if anybody is able to make that spell for me I would be very happy...

NOTE: There is a spell called meathook in the spell section but that't not the one I need.. (it pulls your target to you and i need it the other way round...)

There is also a spell called Hookshot in the spell section but that's the same as meathook...

Azazel

Ok Azazel that makes more sense I guess your right. I could do that for you soon.

didnt think of that good idea

do you think I was strict or anything?

anyways, are you going to update this model anytime soon?

Yeah right about now. I hope this is better.

Someone is making meta knight :O?

Yes indeedy. I am. It'll be my best model yet I hope. :xd: I have good plans for it and how to get it done. I just got to finish up my Princess Zelda model and Ganondorf who are both near completion and it'll be my next project.

hes eyes frighten me now :O

Hmm, version 1 looks much much better than this

Those Legs kills me D:

And yea, version 1 was a bit better (not the hair, it has improved)
Fix eyes and legs, then its good to go.

See thats what I thought. I'll revert the skin part of the texture back to the old one and his face.

I like this new texture more, but the eyes can be smallified a bit, and moved apart some more.
Looks sweet now, But the polies on that shield, and all the animations sinking through the floor still bother me.

the eyes are a little 2 big but hey still a great job

Okay instead of just making texture like the old one I'll just adjust it to make his eyes smaller. Pollies on the shield will be fixed soon.

nice job. it looks great only thing is the bottoms of the legs and a few animations that i don't particularly like, like attack 2, and all of the 'defend' animations. in attack 2 his sword is pointed up, like hes trying to punch but you geomerged a sword in (i know you didn't). and the defend things his shield is kinda in a strange position.

also those are not the only uses for a weaponless link model, the biggest reason (as far as i can tell) is that link uses every item imaginable not just a sword, in fact his sword is probably used less than the bow in Twilight Princess, my point is if you have an attachment model for your items you don't want a sword sticking through them.

P.S. thank you so much for succeeding, by making him left handed.

This Owns tbh 5/5 ^^ could be useful for some Zelda RPG or some ort of Zeld Spinoff ^^ But It look awesome

can you please add animations with the weapons on his back?^^
I mean like

Stand - Weapons On his Back
Walk - Weapons On his Back

Would be great

i looks nice ^^

Awesome effort bro. +rep for sure.

Glad you like it. I'll see what I can do for the animations.

The models pretty cool but the eyes scare me.
I was hoping if u could make a Toon link model from Phantom hour glass?
GJ on model 4.8/5

Um possibly I don't know. Yeah eyes will be changed.

Nice with all the zelda stuff I've seen someone could make a good map.
Hmmm just need a ganandorf... (hint hint)

Cool, would be nice in some Zelda maps.
4/5

Please improve it, so it can get approved.

Also, legs are really fat as already said.

Dont get me wrong, its very nice, but i dont know if its usefull like this, because Link can put the weapons on his back...so if you ever played Zelda, its not usefull at all, a link like yours, even if it looks good.

Sorry I've been doing a lot of stuff lately. Got a little sidetracked. I'll try to update him later tonight.
