Re: Adventures of the Links
If there was anything worse than committing a Gannon ban felony, it's the number one sprite comic crime: Introductory comics! GUCK!
But, I can't wait to see how the comic improves. Also...deja vu? I remember this comic. I think I condemned the first episode before.  Anyways... Welcome back to ZU! ^_^

Re: Adventures of the Links
Ha - yeah, I know what you mean about intro comics. I created that back in June of 2005, actually. After that, everybody on my old forum that made a comic started with an intro comic... and it always looked similar to this one... I sometimes beat myself up about making an intro comic, but at the time I felt it necessary.

Re: Adventures of the Links
I think I remember this on another forum, though I only got up to Mario's introduction, and I do remember the incident with the theft a few years back. Considering I can't remember for the life of me where the orignal forum this was posted was, I'm glad you brought it here.

Re: Adventures of the Links
I had originally posted it on The Forest Haven (Zelda Central).
Somebody had also asked me to post it in Zelda Underground, though I kinda forgot about it later on and... yeah, I don't know what happened to it. I also posted it in Kakariko Graveyard, but I think I would recognize you if you were from there.

Re: Adventures of the Links
All right - it's Monday, and time for the first comic of Adventures of the Links!
 This was my first attempt at spriting, and it shows - these first couple of comics are pretty lackluster. As I grew in spriting (and age), the comics got a lot better, which you'll probably see later on. Remember, this was in 2005 - about a year and a half before TP came out, to be precise.

Re: Adventures of the Links
What's with Link's colors? They're darker than the actual sprites from TMC. Did you do that on purpose, or was it that way in the sheet? Well, regardlress, it's not a big deal.

I recolored the other 3 Links as well: Red needed hair that wasn't purple (ewwww) Blue needed color (mostly his skin) Purple needed eyes and skin that would make him look human

Re: Adventures of the Links
Makes sense. I kinda like it Green's pallete better when it's darker, as opposed to the lighter scheme used in the FS games.

Re: Adventures of the Links
New comic. Like the last one, this isn't that great. They start getting better after this (in my opinion), since it starts making fun of the Zelda world more.
 I realized yesterday that if I do three a week, I'd have the entire series posted in a year. That's bad, because I want to start on a new one sooner than that (particularly because I'll be on my way to student teaching in a year). I'm thinking that after this week I'll start posting more of them per day, not only to get the story moving, but also to make way for the Second Story.

Re: Adventures of the Links
The comic isn't very pretty (I know they'll get better, as you said) but I enjoyed reading it. It was pretty funny, gave me a good chuckle. Only thing I can complain about is you need to stray away from words like "Duh!" unless it adds to the character development, which may be true; in which case, my point is void.
Overall, and so far, 6.95/10 Good to see some fresh stuff in the shanty.

Re: Adventures of the Links
Nice! Like others have said it's not the most pretty comic I've ever seen but I believe you when you say it gets better. Plus it's pretty funneh, I'll be looking forward to more.

Re: Adventures of the Links
Oh, this comic doesn't really get much better in the looks department. I'll admit that after a while (around Chapter 7 or so) I start using a little bit of Picture Editor and PhotoShop, but one of the running gags is that this is a low budget comic (this will be more evident later on. The plot and humor, however, do get much better.
Since I won't be around much tomorrow, I'm posting Friday's comic today. This is where things start to pick up, both plot- and humor-wise.  Enjoy! A reminder that, starting next week, I'm going to start posting 2-3 (maybe more) every MWF, to move this along. I'm planning to create a sequel, but I need to make it before I start student teaching in the Fall of 2009, and if I were to continue at the present rate, I'd have THIS adventure done by then (which would mean no sequel - bad news).

Re: Adventures of the Links
Oh, I liked this last comic. Very clever writing. Having the four Links from different generations was a very original idea, and you act well on it.
Although I would like to see some new comics from you. I don't see why you couldn't just show us all your comics at once and then start making new ones; it honestly wouldn't take that long for a reader to catch up. But if giving us these updates of an old comic is keeping you online here (as opposed to you dumping your comics here then leaving forever), then I guess I'm all for that.

Re: Adventures of the Links
Excelent work! I love the humor in this. The personalities of the sprites are pretty funny too.
