And he really captures that sort of childish, boyish, adventurer Link side of the series.

The less serious side than Skyward Sword and Toon's Kingdom, but just that boyish, fun, adventuresome Link.

And also, he is Eiji Aonuma's favorite Link because he reminds him of his son, which I thought was super cute.

You've got to pick one.

You've got to pick little earring Link or tiny guy Link.

Or the Link that maybe also still has a child brain, despite being older.

The adult brain, the weight of the world on his shoulders has saved the world, but nobody knows it.

Tragic Link.

Although I guess that's Majora's Mask Link, isn't it?

Yeah, that is Majora's Mask Link, actually.

So Koizumi, he did the manuals for the SNES Zeldas, and then he was the character design on Ocarina of Time.

And they were playing around with this idea of having older and younger Link.

And Koizumi's wife was like, why isn't he hot?

why are none of your characters ever hot?

So give him a little earring and a nicer nose because he had a little button nose.

So we have Koizumi's wife's taste in men to thank for a teen links look in Ocarina of Time.

Great reasoning.

I'm going to take this apt opportunity to lock in a favorite boss, which is Phantom Ganon, the final boss of the Forest Temple, who, of course, rides in and out of the portraits of himself in that hexagonal chamber at the heart of the Forest Temple.

I just couldn't believe that was happening when I was 11 and I was playing that game.

I actually could not believe it was possible.
