SICK
It was very obscure, infact I think it's actually based on AoL.You're serious? I need to track this manga then.
EDIT: Search this name Yuu Mishouzaki, I think you might find something.

Yeah, haven't you heard? You need to be a really brave guy to wear purple! (yes, that includes 'wearing' hair)
I used to quote this to prove that Link's pink hair isn't a limitation of the SNES' hardware.I used to think it was just some arbitrary compromise based on the limitations of the SNES at the time. But years later I found this image of an interview from 1992.
That little Link model with the pink hair, so many years before this debate ever got started.
Yellow is also really bright, if what you say is true, they would have chosen that, and not pink. It would've been perfectly fine if the hair weren't pink. Look at this image, and surely 16 of the pixels on the screen wouldn't make such a drastic difference to the enviroment of the game.Links hair is technically not purple because in the actual artwork it shows Link with brown hair. So, canonically his hair is not purple. The in game sprites show Link with purple hair to make the game brighter, vibrant, and colorful. Imagine A Link to the Past without all the bright colors, wouldn't it be really boring? Here is some official artwork and an in game sprite to show the difference.

See how boring Alttp would be without all the different colors.
its about immersion into this fantastical world. pink hair isn't a natural color so the small detail of Link's sprite having pink hair makes it just a little more magical. it's mostly a subconscious reactionYellow is also really bright, if what you say is true, they would have chosen that, and not pink.
