About this mod

Link and Dark Link's Clothing Retexture, with hair and hats. Hair comes in Twilight Princess brunette, Blonde Redux visually similar to Super Smash Bros. And Classic Blonde similar to Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask Link hair, also including Dark Link Ash.

Now you can play as Link or Dark Link in style!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Link's clothes created in the style of his Twilight Princess look, and Dark Link's clothes created in the style of darkness, both with a unique touch of realism. They are quite a bit different than their original designs, I wanted them both to look more lore friendly to Skyrim's style while still maintaining their natural Zelda look in my own style. Please view the pics above to see everything.


 Here's the original mod by alteredTheBeast for comparison to see how much I've changed everything:  Link From Legend of Zelda
Without his original textures none of this would have been possible.

As you can see I put alot of time into Link's new clothing textures by darkening it, increasing contrast. Making the color more of a dark sage enhancing the gold lining, bringing out more detail around the Triforce insignia. And removing saturation for a very realistic tone. The gauntlets/armgaurds were given a subtle red dark copper tone with a natural feel close to Deku tree bark, the boots were made a medium brown with gray and small tone of light red color added to it, to feel worn as though he'd been on many adventures already. To feel as realistic as possible. The tan/yellow/brownish pants were also made white as was the sleeves.
I recommend he wear a regular gold necklace as well like alteredTheBeast used in his original mod it looks best this way. The gold necklace works really well with the Tunic, becomes part of it in a way. And I recommend a regular silver necklace for Dark Link.  
 



I've included hair and hats similar in style of The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess version which is more of a brown color. It appears a dirt blonde in heavy lighting though. Then there is Link's hair Classic Blonde Version, which is visually similar in color to Ocarina of Time Link/Majoras Mask Link hair. Then Blonde redux version, which is a more subtle natural light kind of dirt blonde hair color. This is usually what his hair appears like in most Super Smash Bros. games.
which is more of a modern take on Link's hair with more natural color. 
Then last but not least Dark Link's hair which is a white ash type of color with a nice black hat.. all 4 are included with everything else.....




As you can see I've put tons of work into Link and Dark Link's new tunic, boots and armguard designs not forgetting the hats. Thanks again to their original creators and to me for investing the time into this and sharing it with you all. Wasn't easy but it has certainly made my game all the better here's hoping it does yours too! To the creators, I appreciate all the hard work you guys put into the original meshes and textures and the progress it has all allowed me to make with my own projects so thank you all. 

NOTE: These Link and Dark Link presets can be downloaded for ECE and Racemenu here on my other page:   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60653/?



How this project began
A few years ago I created standalone Link and Dark Link's clothes off of AlteredTheBeast's Link clothes mod, these retextures I made for my own personal use and they turned out really well and now I'm finally sharing them with you all. Only recently I made the hair and hat modifications off of Quechus9's work after telling him about my Link project, so I finished the retextures a couple years ago, the hat I only thought of recently and he agreed to let me use the hat. 
With Link's hair mesh, it turned out fantastic with my newly added textures. Tried to smooth out the textures and use some of my own textures from my Sims 2 Link's hair: http://simdrew1993.deviantart.com/art/Link-Sim-Download-Simdrew1993-475832420

Note: I do not believe they work on non human races although they might, and if you are wanting a female version there is a female version although it was never completely finished but still looks decent enough I suppose.
For now I suggest you just use Linkle's clothes here:

Once again I highly recommend you download my Link preset as well for ECE and Racemenu: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60653/?


Hope you all enjoy them as much as I do! 


Link, Dark Link, Princess Zelda and Ganondorf followers coming sometime TBA
