*Looks at title*
Because Zelda Classic Link only has 3 frames of animation max and to give him more you'd need to script it and even then it would probably look awkward and use up extra tilespace that quite frankly could have been used on less trivial things? (OK, so for most people the tile/sprite/combo space isn't that important)

Can't say I'm really digging these. I can see potential use for these outside of ZC, but I don't think anyone here other than yourself is working on an actual Zelda fangame outside of ZC. So unless I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this topic, I can't give a reason not to share these extended animation tiles, but I don't see a reason why either.

PokemonMaster, there's an option for ALttP Link sprites, which allow 9-tiled Link

IIRC, in ZC 2.5, to change the animation style so that Link uses Z3 style walking frames, when you go to Graphics -> Link, there should be a drop-down box to set the animation style. Select "Zelda 3," and there you have it . As for the dynamic updating Link model, I suspect it won't be accomplish-able without scripting, but hey, a little scripting would never kill anyone .

@Jared: I dunno what to do about the eyes !

Okay, actually, I gave it a shot, and fixed some other things like his hat, boots, and hair. Mind *refreshing* and giving me some feedback? By the way, in case you haven't noticed, this is my first full pixel art attempt XD. Used to just be headshots.

[Jared]

I refreshed it, but nothing changed :3

You need to finish ASAP, so I can use these for my quest ;__;

OK, here we go. If you want to see an updated spritesheet, refresh and see the first post. But what I really want to know is how you think I handled the two-hand holding animation:



Before I say anything, I'd like to point out that there's an alternate version in the sheet, where his hands don't look so "close" to us, so if you don't want to see his hands that big, then that's fine. The idea here is not only for the animation to be smooth, but also so you can script it so whenever he hold certain items, his hair and tunic blows in the "wind," or the energy of the item. What do you think? I can try to get the one-hand holding animation like that if you approve of this .

[Jared]

Woah....that looks amazing, Koh! I didn't expect this, at all! I can't wait to use these for my quest :'D

I think it looks great. I've never tried using an animated item hold sprite. Have you tested it? Does it work fine?...

Koh, sometime in the far future, I do wonder whether you would mind if I modeled some sprites after these animations for a non-Link character. Would that be all right?

Hmm, well I haven't tried it in ZC; and I wouldn't know how to go about scripting it, as I've not tampered with ZC's scripting yet. But I imagine it should look the same as the GIF.

You're free to manipulate the spritesheet in anyway that you need . That's what they're there for; to have a pre-made set, or to act as models .

Dude! These would be perfect for my game since i'm using MC tiles! I have been trying to find a set of link tiles that use Z3 animation but none of them fit too well with the set. This set has been tested In my game and it looks like they were made specifically for the surrounding environment! You should definitely complete this sheet!

[NoeL]

Looks like I forgot to say... I love these tiles

[Sheik]

I'm not a fan of the colours either, just like Robin. But the animations are great and this might well be your best Link sheet yet. Nice job!

Agreed! I'm going to use these for my new (Or revamped) DoR quest.

In fact, Koh, these could end up being one of the most used Link tiles, because they're so wonderful! No lie!

Pfft, everyone knows THESE will be the most used Link tiles... one day

Okay, thanks a lot.

Man... no one should ever underestimate the value of a good sprite animation. Whenever I edit BS enemies, I put another enemy side-by-side and base most of my design decisions on that. It allows for consistency and makes the process ten times easier and faster than it would be without a model.

As for the item hold tiles... hmmm... I guess maybe item hold doesn't actually support animations normally. That's really too bad; I hate to think it'd be necessary to script just to use those very nice MC-style item hold animations. I haven't tried the Z3 animations yet, but LttP didn't have an animated item hold sprite, either.

Well, within the constraints of ZC without scripting, these still look good... so oh well.

You most definitely can if you feel that way .

Ha ha, thanks xD.

I dunno, I kinda like the colors personally . Tribute to his old design; BROWN HAIR FTW!

I agree this is rising up as my best sheet; I'm working harder to make the animations more fluid.

That made me lol xD. He should be used though; but I wonder which tileset he'd look best in...

I suppose there is a way to do it, even without scripting. It'd just involve a few combo cycling, and a "cutscene" screen .

Due to the popularity, I've decided I'll take this sheet all the way. For starters, I've made it more organized, since I can predict how lengthy the sheet will eventually become, especially since it uses Z3 Animation. IF I didn't, it'd become a mess of poses.

Lastly, One-hand holding complete :
As usual, there's an alternate version if you feel his hands shouldn't be so "close."
