Why was the art direction in alttp so fucking bad? Link doesn't resembles his official art at all

And the HUD uses so few colors, along with such simple shapes, that it looks like from a mid-lifespan NES game.

Something about probably looking more defined on CRTVs, but surely you can get better results if you swap the belt, hair and hat-rim colors around?

Because pink haired Link (male) is cute.

He already had pink hair before in the 80s.

All of the early first party SNES games look like shit.

Just a long-game practical joke to upset idiots 25 years later. Petty but still impressive ngl

Link is dirty blond in Twilight Princess.

I know this is bait, but ALTTP is one of the best looking games on the SNES, I love its artstyle and it also translates really well to modern displays. It's very sharp, clean, colorful, and easy to visually parse at a glance

Graphics in LTTP are generally not great. The game design is crazy though.

I've always thought that LttP had a slightly dull and off-putting color palette, but I could never articulate it beyond that. However, you seem like kind of a bitch, so while in this thread I'm going to change my opinion to spite you.
LttP is better looking than the majority of other SNES games in a similar genre. I can't think of any that significantly surpass it except maybe Seiken Densetsu III / Trials of Mana.Terranigma comes close but some of its tilesets are distractingly bright and repetitive. In that regard, LttP has the better sense to keep the most obvious pattern repeats a little more muted.As far as your picture goes, TP Link is clearly what you'd call "dirty blonde", not totally brown hair.

Since you are using the character artwork instead of the sprites for every other example, you should be using this image for LttP if your post wasn't retarded bait.

>the vast majority of crt televisions were REALLY FUCKING BAD
Old ones yeah, but anything modern enough to have an OSD usually looks good
