That was long. Keeping this short. Not sure about this one. Thank you to @/runecatwrites for this [Click] analysis post as it was pretty helpful for the Wild and Wars dialogue (though I think the analysis is better).

hi

zelink

im not drawing so much these days but i did this thing quick

[gaylactic-fire]

Ok so I PROMISE this is my last post on Link and Zelda height comparison, but having two popular posts about manlet Link that blew up I get notes every day like "Link is shorter in ALL the games." (Not true!! Misinformation!!) and also people complaining about the references I used. So I decided to actually put effort into finding good, side by side height comparisons. For my own sake, but also for artists who need references!

[BTW this is also solely based on in game models and not concept / promo art. Come to your own conclusion there, bc some art directly contradicts the models]

First off, pretty much all the pixel Zelda games have Link and Zelda's sprites in and around the same height, give or take. There's definitely wiggle room here for interpretation (Zelda 1 Link having one spare pixel dedicated to his hat and Zelda in Zelda 2 appearing like she's crouching) but overall it's safe to assume these Links and Zeldas are around the same height if you're staying faithful to the sprites.

Spirit Tracks, Twilight Princess and A Link Between Worlds Links are undeniably shorter than their Zeldas.

Wind Waker is kind of a weird one for me?? Tetra and Link don't have many shots of them standing together and I feel I'd have to open the game to get an accurate comparison (F to my WW copy in the attic). Originally I had stated Tetra was taller but they are actually very close. Tetra still looks taller by a tiny margin(?)

Ocarina Of Time is also difficult to pinpoint! Especially with Link's goofy ass triangle hair! Once again the margin is so slim it's hard to say, but looking at both Zelda and Sheik's models I would say Adult Link is ever so slightly taller.

Round of applause for Skyward Sword Link for being the only Link undeniably taller than his Zelda! Extremely funny that trend did not continue down the timeline.

Finally, Tears Of The Kingdom Link is not only shorter than his Zelda, but arguably has the most notable shortness in comparison to her (him and ALBW are joint contenders for that imo). Short king, manlet, little guy, etc.

in case anyone wanted a height comparison of ganondorf to link without spoilers.... 🥰

i did the firsthand research for you

spoiler references under the cut

keep in mind ganondorf bends his knees slightly at all times during battle, but in some cutscenes you can see him stand up even straighter. i took this into account

[soulsty]

Can I offer you some Fi, and some Tri in these trying times?

thoughts on my tower

[sashascribble]

[matcha-squid]

haven't had a lot of time for any higher effort pieces so here's some doodles I did in class/at work

Hehe they're so silly I love drawing them. She is tall. He is small. She can hold her little man. They're perfect for each other :3

Dont mind me, just having a fun date night with my girl in this cage

[glitterbuns]

Haunt me then

[...] Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad!

Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!

Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life!

I cannot live without my soul!

[smilesrobotlover]

Some love at twilight stuff with the fam. Rusl and Uli are cute, Colin is an annoying little brother, and Kori and Rela are bffs and do everything together. I love them all.

height chart in progress (lonk for scale)

my other drawings of these two misleadingly paint twigs as a short king, my man is just doomed to always be standing next to gary barlow's massive daughter.
