- Permissions and credits
Introducing my Legend of Zelda Link follower Link is the main protagonist hero from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. Now with a more realistic look. I based him on his Twilight Princess concept mostly although he's a bit different. This is his newest incarnation for Skyrim based on how I think Link should look if he were in a more realistic game.
Originally for his default hair I had made a darker brown like Twilight Princess Link's back in LE days but I had later made it lighter although not much different trying to get it the same color I used to have it in LE since ECE and RM tints are different. So right now it's brown but with a blond tint, I may make an optional patch to change it back later if I can for those that will want it completely darker brown. I also plan to make optional patches to add classic blonde which has a redish blondish hue, and blonde redux which is like Super Smash Bros Brawl Link's hair. Sadly I've been unable to get Nifmerge to work with the other hair colors and face meshes. I've even tried the non Nifmerge tutorial making meshes match eachother in Nifkcope still no luck. Not sure why, used to work for me all the time. Tried every other method online and no luck, the nifmerge conversions fail every time even though they act like they are working. Except this one time I got this head to work for this version of Link, consider it luck I guess that I even got him to show up at all. Anyway I hope that you all like him, I've put lots of work into him. Maybe at some point I'll get the other hair variants to work as optional updates, who knows.
Now Including Dark Link follower, can be downloaded separately.
Have fun! and Enjoy! :)
Oh and feel free to submit images of of Link or Dark Link if you'd like. I'm always happy to see them! Please endorse if you like them.
NOTE: The presets for Racemenu and ECE of Link and Dark Link will be re-released at some point for SSE. Can't say when, I've got alot to do and my migraines have been awful as of late.
(Race; Wood Elf)
Both Link and Dark are Wood Elf's although they uses human meshes and textures to look better.
(Location on where to find him)
Link is in Sleeping Giant Inn of Riverwood or around the forests hunting or working, Dark Link is in the Markarth Warrens
(Voice Type)
Both have Male Even Toned
------------------------------
I may I have them voice acted in the future who knows, I've played the role of Link myself as a Voice Actor in animations, and I also know a few people that could do a great job. He also has his own Follower framework set up by my friend Tons, he is set up for custom voice support with a horse spawn spell, currently has no custom voice implemented yet so this is all disabled for now. The horse spawn sometimes works though just not very often it's random, sometimes he will spawn a horse named Epona, my apologies but the horse doesn't look like her lol... but it's just for testing reasons. The horse spawn doesn't depend on his custom voice, it works for any type.. but like I said it's random. Sadly it doesn't happen as often as I'd like. For my other follower mods Vaati and Ganondorf their horse functionality seems to work fine so far. Link's was working, not sure why it stopped.
(Fighting Style)
He has his own combat style and fighting class. The way he fights reminds me alot of the games, I'm very happy with the results.
(Marriageable)
Yes.
Followers of my characters are being made, by myself and with some help from others.. most will be standalone vanilla followers initially and may be running on custom framework and voiced in the future later down the line as I've handpicked a few Actors and Actresses who may be able to play them. Ganondorf will be voiced and have his own custom framework thanks to the modder tons for helping set that up he will be a very unique follower. So I will share them with you all at some point! I recommend you track me, and check out Tons (TheObstinateNoviceSmiths) work too if your interested, he's a great modder and an excellent writer: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/5718878
Feel free to browse through the rest of my work, I have alot to offer even if I don't have it all published yet. Plenty more to come! ^__^
