link wears blue in the wilds era games because blue is the rarest colour in nature, therefore the art team though that blue would contrast nicely with the large, green open world! :)
Nop. The developers already said in interviews that they didn't go with blue for any other reason other than changing Link's outfit being part of the whole "rethinking Zelda conventions" mantra. They went with blue apparently completely at random, and blue contrasting with green was a rationalization that they came up with after the fact (which makes no sense whatsoever, by the way. Blue is still just a prevalent as green in the game due to the sky).
I thought it was cool you needed to complete every shrine to earn the Wild Tunic. It gives Link and the player a strong sense of pride because they had to earn their green through hardwork. Instead of just having it given to you.
That's a good point, but I feel if you got the wild set after defeating all four blights and clearing the divine beasts, i would have felt an equally strong sense of pride
That wouldn't really make as much sense from a story perspective though. The wild set in breath of the wild is basically meant to be the monks' reward to link since he has proved to them (by completing all of their trials i.e shrines) to be the true hero of the land If he got the set randomly after beating the divine beasts it wouldn't make much sense imo
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast personally i think that the tunic of the wild is more like an easter egg, honestly similar to the master cycle 0. it's not there to form part of the game, but rather speak to older fans
@@melizabeth555 Exactly. And it's a very bad speech, because the Tunic of the Wild's design straight up sucks. Seriously, it's by far the ugliest design of the traditional clothes in the entire series. So much so I'm convinced it was designed like that on purpose to not upstage the Champion's Tunic. Specially because the main art director of the series, Satoru Takizawa, has been on record saying that he never liked Link's original design, specially the cap, so it's pretty clear to me that he wants to get rid of it. Hence why we didn't get a new tunic in TotK too.
I love how they claimed that Link had to be green because the bushes were green... even though it's not even the same shade of green. 😂 It's like when people claim Link's hair had to be pink in a Link to the Past because of Bunny Link, despite them once again not being the same shade of Pink.
I was thinking the SAME thing while working on this video. Totally different shades of green. Im no expert, but maybe I should have mentioned that while talking about how the nes was able to handle a red and blue tunic
@TheZeldaEnthusiast I mean, it's true that the NES has a limited number of color palettes, but the palettes for the background and the palettes for the objects (characters and enemies) usually occupy two separate sets of slots. So if you want something to have the same palette as the background, you need to have 2 instances of the same palette in each set of slots. There's no real reason to do that, other than some very niche scenarios where you might need to cheat to make the game look more graphically complex than it is. Like using an object to make it look like a background has more detail than it could actually have. But most games use them for more important things.
The green clothes have just become so iconic at this point, it's hard to imagine him in anything else. The Champion's tunic was a nice change of pace. But I'm glad all the amiibo outfits were available. By the time I reach Hiteno Village I usually stay there and scan amiibo day after day until I get a complete Time or Sky set. If I can get the Cap of Time early on, it's a perfect color March for the dyed green Hylian Tunic.
I think I like the new direction of the blue tunic. I feel that BOTW focused more on Zelda, hence blue is the most used color in that title. But with TOTK green was the most present color. Me personally I really enjoy dying the Hylian tunic green and pairing that with the Cap of the Wild, amazing combination.
Right on. I remember seeing the hylian tunic and hood for the first time, and thought those were the traditional link clothes. Man was i disappointed when i put the hood on Anyway, Ive always liked the hylian trousers more than the wild shorts. Also, thanks so much for joining as a channel member!
What I wanted out of Breath of the Wild, was to be able to play as freaking Old man Link, because the dude had been recovering for a freaking 100 years, yet he didn't age 1 bit and I'm sick and tired of the kid Links, I want to see a badass white hair and even bearded Link kicking ass in Hyrule, but unfortunately the closest thing of being able to play as someone like that is Geralt from the Witcher games, and like what if they had made that as a reward for completing shrines and stuff, that they had made Old man Link start to regain the youth that had been taken away from him, which would have even worked as a game mechanic as to why Link had low stamina and health, and it was because the guy was a freaking old man and then by the time you do all the shrines and stuff, he is at his peak and aged to his 20s and then he even gets recognized as the Hero of Legend, versus the discrimination he would have faced being a weak old man. And like with this idea they could have even created multiple endings, because it would be funny if the speed running Links would manage to save Zelda as an old man and then she would be surprised about that, while the canonical ending would be that Link would save Zelda after reaching his prime.
Personally, I love the idea of Link’s outfit being reworked pretty radically. However, I have a soft spot for him wearing green, since green usually symbolizes Courage or the Hero’s Spirit throughout the series. In my opinion, that makes the Archaic Tunic the best of both worlds: a unique design that retains a connection to Link himself, rather than just to the Royal Family. To hell with the stats, I wore that Tunic for Ganondorf himself and it just looks so good, especially with how it parallels Ganondorf’s outfit.
Between the "at the end of all timelines" and a re-established Hyrule, the Blue tunic makes sense It also explains why the 10,000 year ago the Sheikah made a green set for him? Because the Hero then wore green. But, unfortunately that was Also when the Royal family started taking over everything and making the Sheikah remove their tech and splitting them. I have a feeling the "our champions, including the hero must be blue" probably started then. One has to wonder if the hero 10,000 years ago got ran off too ;_;. I do prefer the blue tunic myself but won't complain either way!
While sort of the same evolution, Beetlejuice went through a similar outfit association. However, unlike Link Beetlejuice hardly ever wore his well own outfit thought the original film, and instead wore a number of different outfits, and just like Link became attached to what was considered the default clothing. What you might have missed was how both of these characters got their own cartoon series, and the main character being easily identified by the associated outfit. This was such to a point that the sand worm monsters had to be redesigned for the cartoon else it would clash with Beeltejuice's own stylization. While both of these characters have changed outfits a lot, they both became known for a single outfit.
Best thing about the Wilds tunic set is that it's the only one of the tunic sets that can be dyed in Hateno. I usually dye the hat with another set's top, such as the Hylian set. I do this because I don't like that the arms and legs of the outfit, despite the description saying it fit's perfectly, are clearly too short for BotW Link's limbs. The shorts are fine on their own, but combined with the weird mid-length of the sleeves, it just looks like it was made a few sizes too small. My favorite visually was pairing the hat from the Wild set with the Warm Doublet and Hylian trousers you get on the plateau. Hilariously, this also means your reward for all shrines becomes... Just a hat.
You always pop up on my feed after I’ve made dinner and am ready to watch some TH-cam and eat. Now I think of your videos whenever I’m making lemon chicken, love your vids bro 👍
imagine a Zelda game where you not only have to acquire your master sword to gain power, but also your tunic has a big significance with this too. For example, you have to collect various pieces of the set scattered throughout Hyrule, and then once acquired, you go and face whatever evil is threatening the land this time.
Not only that, but you have to do 50% of the “dungeons” before having access to the complete 120 shrines. And prior to Champion’s Ballad, that left you only 2 Divine Beasts before storming the castle properly to face Calamity Ganon. I really wish the Champion’s Tunic was compatible with the Dye Shop so I could dye it green.😭 If they were Hellbent on the champion blue motif, _Hyrule Warriors_ pretty much already solved that with the blue scarf/sash Link wears with his green outfit. _Age of Calamity_ even lets you unlock that one though you pretty much have to finish the whole game before you can access it. Would love to see the cutscenes with him wearing _that_ outfit while Zelda still had her old outfit on since you can’t switch her back once she goes goddess mode aside from swapping her to her winter garb.😒
one omission you missed here was in breath of the wild the warm doublet, which is green and gifted to you by none other than the king of Hyrule King Rhoam. being gifted to you by the king and fitting you perfectly shows it was meant to be warn by the hero Link
What i never understood is why in ocarina of time, link doesn't wear green because of tradition, it's just because his kokiri outfit. And then in windwaker is clearly states that when boys grow of age, they wear the HERO OF TIMES green tunic, not skyward sword links.
Thanks Kimberly! That's the whole idea, make something fun everyone can enjoy, and even if I’m playing the mini games on their behalf, the bragging rights for 1st place are pretty sweet indeed
It's always interesting how voice people really hit pronunciation of certain words. You really hit the laaaaaaaas in Legolas. I'm probably wrong and lazy but I just pronounce it Legoless.
Link and green go hand in hand :) This is one of the many reasons why botw and tolk will never be among my favorite zelda games. Ocarina of time, majoras mask, and skyward sword are my top three favorite games I love. But I will say most of the classic games are amazing.
I'm not a fan of the champion tunic, that shade of blue is a bit of an eyesore. And having to do all 120 shrines just to get the classic outfit was lame. As you said, by that point there's nothing left to do really. TotK did it better since you can get the wild set way earlier if you know where they are, but it still kinda sucks because you probably won't find them for a long time on a blind playthrough (for me it was like 150 hours until I finally came across the trousers and inferred the location of the other two pieces).
"It's ironic because Tinkerbell never talks and Navi always does" That's because your analogy is meaningless, and Navi, stands for Navigation. She's a piece of onboarding to teach the player how to use the game. Link never talks for obvious reasons. Basically the game is Peter Pan in the forest, and you get why he's green.
@@Giggles_iJest Things always change, the world is a moving place. No one will take your existing green Link, just appreciate the little upgrades he gets :)

It's a champion's tunic

The reason is the character designer wanted to change things up. He even hates his cap.

I will never complete all the shrines, because they`re so tedious
Link's Blue look from the "Wild" series does look fantastic for this Link, but Green should remain the standard going forward.
Short answer: Peter Pan.
I love how they claimed that Link had to be green because the bushes were green... even though it's not even the same shade of green. 😂

It's because Link is based on the Disney version of Peter Pan, as said by Shigeru Miyamoto.

So your favorite is Twilight Princess Link?
RGB value 00CC00, specifically?
@@traviscunningham7062 tbh I more like Skyward Sword Link, but you're right to say that Link's clothes in TP are in my favorite shade of green!

Nice look into series wide design.
without even watching the video my technically educated guess would be the limited color pallette of the NES
I think the reason Link wears blue in botw is the reprent wisdom because of
Naydra's spring significance or because the big role of blue in the game
This was great! Thanks for pulling all that together!

A Link Between Worlds Link is actually green because that's what the blacksmiths wear, and also Gulley, the blacksmith's son.
Even though the champion's tunic/leathers was cool, I still prefer green!

I hate the color blue so to answer your question; anything but blue. Green is nice but red or purple would’ve been cool too.
