Here's a second pass on that Link redesign for that Norse-esque Zelda game living in the back of my mind.
I started this weeks and weeks ago, and only recently had time to sit back and finish it, which means there's a lot of little things I want to change about the design now (those gloves must be redone!), but that will have to wait until the next round of drawings.
Here's the earlier drawing I did of this design: [link]
I like that you have his sword at his side rather than across his back. It always bugged me that it should be impossible for him (and well, anyone who holsters their sword across their back) to unsheathe at that angle if it were across his back. Awesome job!
Well it's not impossible to unsheathe a sword from that position, but it is for the Master Sword, which is a huge sword. This is very prevalent in SS when you see the size of the sheath alone on Link's back.
