Project #2 - PART 2 - Twilight Princess

Before reworking my first design, I had gone onto exploring Link's big brother as I felt he might look/be should he have appeared in Twilight Princess. This both indicates that he could have significance in either game space with the right approach and design. It became apparent to me that his characteristics/back-story would most likely vary in keeping with the scenario of Twilight Princess, which is somewhat different to Ocarina of Time. For a start, you don't know much of Link's past, whereas you learn in OoT of how he came to be in Kokiri Forest. As such, this gave room for a bit more leeway in defining who his brother is and what he does.

There was less exploration involved in this design since I was both taking direct inspiration from an already existing design (s) - that being the soldiers uniform and the Magic Armour - and also from my first original design. It was easily adaptable into the slightly different style of Twilight Princess, making it equally adaptable into a slightly different game space and culture.

Through feedback it was the general consensus that Link's brother would have fit well as a position quite close to Princess Zelda, a situation which could see Link encounter his brother when he encounters Zelda within Hyrule Castle.
