Link Figma Awesomeness - Tay - 2012-12-19 how much was it? Link Figma Awesomeness - byakugan - 2012-12-19 Isn't it kind of wrong to buy one of these while already thinking of reselling it? At least for a fan. Just keep everything in perfect shape and you can still sell it. Link Figma Awesomeness - Sephie - 2012-12-19 [MENTION=2150]Link[/MENTION]; I'm not a nerdy Nintendo fangirl for saying this but... the sword and shield are on the wrong hands. Switch them please. :v Also your opening woes are easily solved by the Collector's "Rule of 3": Buy 3 -> 1 for Use, 1 for Display, 1 for Storage.

Switch them please. :v You can actually make him left handed, since he has the hands for holding a shield and sword for both hands. The thing is, though, the strap on his body can't be switched around, so it'd look funny. xd (Also the fact that Skyward Sword Link was always right handed.) I wanted this thing for the sake of playing with it and to have it on display. I never buy anything with the intention to resell later. I've never really been interested in doing so. Entertainment value is worth more than money, to me. Link Figma Awesomeness - Link - 2012-12-21 More images.

Link Figma Awesomeness - Curtiss - 2012-12-21 I like just how many poses you can get out of Link. Truly a figure worth getting! Link Figma Awesomeness - Jon - 2012-12-21 Do stuff with random household items!
Link Figma Awesomeness - Aircalibur - 2012-12-21 I didn't know about the Link Figure until after the pre-orders were over and it shot up to 80$. Damn. It looks super cool. On a related note the Pit and Dark Pit Figurines are now up for pre-order, at about 35$ each. Link Figma Awesomeness - Link - 2012-12-21 Yeah, I saw the Pit figma on Masahiro Sakurai's twitter feed. It's pretty cool. I want a Samus one, though. I kind of thought about it with the Other M one, but I'm still not 100% sold on that suit design.

I mean... If you apply logic to the Zeldaverse, each Link is of a different family, hundreds to thousands of years apart. They're going to have different genetics. Not every one of them will be the exact same. Besides, Link has always been ambidextrous. Quote:do like the pictures and have him rage at stuff [spoiler=Hey, Link. Whatcha playin'?] ![]() ![]() ![]() [/spoiler]Oh, yes. I understand that sentiment. Link Figma Awesomeness - ShinkuDragon - 2012-12-22 Link Wrote:I never really understood the rage with this. I mean... If you apply logic to the Zeldaverse, each Link is of a different family, hundreds to thousands of years apart. They're going to have different genetics. Not every one of them will be the exact same. Besides, Link has always been ambidextrous. Quote:Though most titles in the series have depicted Link as left-handed, this is not a hard, set rule and is subject to change between games. The Adventure of Link's instruction booklet describes Link setting off "with a magical sword in his left hand and a magical shield in his right".[20] In A Link to the Past, he alternates hands, but this is due to sprite mirroring. The reason for this is explained in the official Nintendo Player's guide as a Hylian superstition that requires the shield to always face Death Mountain (located to the North) to protect oneself from the evil powers originating within the mountain.[21] Starting with Link's Awakening, Link holds his sword in his left hand and his shield in his right, no matter what direction he is facing. In The Minish Cap, however, Link returns to alternately holding his weapon in the right or the left hand, depending on his orientation. At the beginning of the Four Swords Plus (Four Swords Adventures) manga, Link is referred to as the "left-handed hero" after defeating pirates that were raiding a Hylian town. In addition, Link's figurine description in The Wind Waker lists his "manual preference" as left. However, in the animated TV series and the Wii version of Twilight Princess, Link is right-handed, but the latter was done to better mirror the game's control scheme. In the game's official artwork he is shown holding his sword in his left hand. In the GameCube version, Link remains left-handed, as the game uses a traditional control scheme.[22] Thus, Skyward Sword is the first game in the series to feature a definite right-handed Link, with even the concept art reflecting the fact. because artwork-wise, every link since ever has been left-handed, only ambidextrous in games that had mirrored sprites. and i'd say my rage comes from the fact that they went through the trouble of mirroring the WHOLE DARN GAME just to "appeal to the larger demographic of right handed people" that and that i'm left handed myself. so i found the above all-the-more rageworthy. those pictures tho, that's exactly what i love seeing!. Link Figma Awesomeness - Link - 2012-12-22 ShinkuDragon Wrote:only ambidextrous in games that had mirrored sprites. Actually, he's ambidextrous in Skyward Sword as well. He wields his bow left-handed (at least, compared to how I was taught how to use a bow). He holds it in the right hand and pulls back with the left. When I was taught how to use a bow (I'm right handed), I was taught to hold it in my left hand and pull back with my right. Ocarina of Time Link uses holds the bow in his right and and pulls back with his left, and he's left-handed. Also, in an official word by Miyamoto, "Link is ambidextrous, but just prefers to wield his sword in his left hand." Link Figma Awesomeness - Link - 2012-12-22 More poses. Anyone recognize any of these?
