Most Controversial... Link's Pants

[Vincent]

This new Link's pants seem to be quite a hot topic when it comes to Skyward Sword. Lots of people are saying that they don't like them, or how they are too big of a change. Others, like me, just find them to be hilarious.
I've seen theories around saying that they're baggy because he'll be skydiving a lot, and skydivers wear pants like that for some reason which escapes me at the moment.
I don't know. This is a thread about Link's pants. Discuss.

hahaha i have never read a thread as funny as this one Link's pants seem fine to me. Although I don't spend a lot of my time looking at Link's pants ~ I thought he always had the exact same pants in all of the Zelda games.

I prefer this pants. By the way, link did not were pants in OoT. Points to your signature. (You should have noticed.) He wears a tunic, a belt a hat, and boots. When he gets older he also gets socks and an undershirt. I think his pants are baggy so he can hoved down like a ... Whatever those saftey balloons ar called. You know the ones you should use if you land in water.

They are definitely baggier.
Maybe in this game Link chose comfort over style, haha.

I could see the skydiving theory to be the most likely.

At least, he is wearing pants, as said Ember. O_O

I know, I used to get so creeped out by OoT. I hope he wears underwear. X _X Speaking of which, were does a primitive race like the kokiri get close like that? I would have expected them to wear leaves.

I think they wanted to get rid of his classic tights and gave him proper pants. I'm all fine with that really. Link overally looks better than ever (art style aside)

I liked his TP pants. They weren't white tights, but they weren't these totally gangstah parachute pants, either. They were for the most part, pretty flattering and made him look like more like a traditional Elfen fairy tale character without looking completely ghei. =)

But I guess a change is good every now and then. Plus they look comfortable, and being comfortable is definitely important whilst traveling between two different worlds and fighting an onslaught of evil.

It kinda gives Link a new feel in this game, making him stand out of all the other links in the series, and for a guy that lives in a chillax place called skyloft, with wind a blowing and moving his pants around, I dunno, it just seems right for this game.
Don't you think?

 

[Ember Incubus]

When did link ever wear white tights? He never wore any pants before TP.

 

[Link-182]

Yeah, he wore white tights as adult link in ocarina of time, and in wind waker...

 

[Ember Incubus]

No, those were his stockings. > .>

I think the pants look pretty good actually. People keep saying they are baggy or hammer pants. I don't think they are. I think they look like a pair of medieval slacks. If you look at pants back in the day, they were usually not tailored quite so tight fittingly as todays are. I think they are perfect, and much better than the Peter Pan tights he has worn in other games.

If Nintendo has any business sense they will market these pants as a clothing line (like, irl). I'd totally pick me up a pair of Hyrulian trousers.

THIS. x9001.
They'd have to have tunics, too.
Red, green and blue, of course.
I'd pay good money for an outfit like that. =D

I think the pants are better than tights. They're more comfortable, and look cooler. I don't have any problem with them, and I think Link really should wear pants from now on. They look good on him.

Ditto! But you forgot Purple. I would love a yellow tunic that said "I was Forgoten About" on it. XD But serously, I want midevil pants now...
