The strange man reminds me of Jack Sparrow, so now I shall call him Jack until we learn his actual name.
Interesting thing to note; in
The Wind Waker, close-ups of Link's seemingly black eyes reveal
they are green. This is the same with both Tetra and Ganondorf, whose eyes are blue and red respectively. We know for a fact that this is the same Link from
The Wind Waker. So who messed up and colored Link's eyes brown in
this artwork? I find that funny.
