Zelda came out in 1986 and Link was modelled after a stereotypical blonde European medieval adventurer.
Zoomers can fuck off
Hunter Moore
The interview that OP is quoting was specifically about his (blond) redesign in OoT
Xavier Russell
No actor had that fucking nose and let's not pretend his model had any kind of features.
It was very low poly and it didnt needi to be inspired by any real face.
Nathaniel Lee
Alec Baldwin
Aiden Parker
titanic leo
Christian Miller
there's a lot more to design work than just modeling user
Jayden Gonzalez
Are you fucking stupid? It's well known that Link was redesigned to be handsome in OOT, which Miyamoto didn't like.
Mason Thomas
It's the hair dude. Reminder the character model was "mostly" completed LONG before the artist came in and did official art of Link. It's obviously Leonardo DiCaprio.
Dominic Wilson
My peanus weenus of course haha
Juan Carter
Everyone back when OoT came out thought of Leo when they saw Link. Even my Leo obsessed games hating sister loved him and she wasn't the only person I heard making that comparison

>Anew interview in the Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts book reveals that Nintendo was using a “world-famous Hollywood actor” as inspiration for the design of Link from Ocarina of Time
>NAKANO: Yes. A rather world- famous Hollywood actor . . .
>TAKIZAWA: Huh? You mean that actor?
>HARUHANA: He is one good- looking guy.
>NAKANO: Yeah. At that time, if you were to talk about a really good- looking actor, people immediately thought of this guy. So I recall keeping in mind the point of his nose and that strong-willed look in his eyes when I was drawing.
Wasn't dicaprio. Titanic came out too late. Must have been someone else
