You don't have to, unless you want the different tunics. But, changing the palettes won't really mess anything up. I only edited about 1 color on the Green, and 3 on the Light Blue. And those were just for the tunics.

So far so good. I think the green would be a bit brighter, but hmm...

I think it was TS or somebody that resubmitted the classic tileset with the correct palettes. You could take the only green/blue/red and use them as your base color, making two darker ones for the shading. Just a suggestion.

What are you going to do to replace the "gold platlette"? just wondering.

[Moonbread]

There really was no Gold Palette in the original... I'll see what I can do, though.



It's slightly brighter... any better? (Yeah, I'm kinda using my current avatar as a reference at the moment. Although, it feels like it used to. I feel that the original edit is better...)

Yeah, looks better now.

Btw, don't forget to make his eyes solid black.

Wow, I really, really like it.

Oh, please don't do that. I just think it would look bad with such an advanced style Link sprite.

BTW Moonwhisper, I think your current avatar is from Zelda 2, not Zelda 1.

I recommend being bold with your palette edits. Not many tiles in DoR use CSet 6, and you won't even need to restructure it to get what you want. Just darken and change the hue a bit (hue = RGB distribution). Link tiles are important, and there's nothing wrong with causing other sprites to revolve around the needs of those Link tiles. If you do it well, you may be able to retain more of the detail in Link's hair.

I would humbly suggest looking to the latest New BS palette for your browns. I went through almost exactly the same quandry when I adjusted New BS CSet 6 to look better with True BS Link and his (light) brown hair and clothing. The only difference was that I was changing light peach to brown, rather than gold to brown.

You're probably misinterpreted what I really meant.

The eyes on this Link sprite (and on many others nowadays) is a 2x2 block for each eye. One side is the iris, the other the white part of the eye. I was suggesting to change the iris to be black, rather than blue.

Ehh, they're fairly similar. Except Z2 Link is more hardcore looking.

I tried editing the browns, though... and that did not end too well. I suppose I should attempt to darken up the red, today.

Edit:



Success! Err, well, do you think so?

The wooden shield looks a blends in a little bit, but otherwise, it's awesome!

[Radien]

I think it doesn't need to be quite that dark, just because MC Advance Link was made for lighter colors in general. But the RGB proportions seems good.

[Moonbread]

Hmm. I kinda like the way they look right now, but hey, what do I know I've tried working with that new palette, trying to improve it, but I've had no luck. If anyone wants to take a go, be my guest.
