I now think it is anime. TLOZ is japanse, big eyes and stuff and that is why! On a blog post of mine they say I am wrong! Why? And then what is TLOZ?
The design they used to retcon Link is Anime inspired yes, but the games are games. Seriously, you need to pick up a dictionary & read the definition of what an anime is Anime - (noun) a stylistic approach at cartoon animation developed in Japan. Also just like with Mario, I HATED how they retconned Link into an annoying Girly voiced boy, listening to an annoying prissy little Fairy (Navi) all day
HEY! I LIKED NAVI. I just liked how blue they are, and I liked the body features they had. I loved the sceneries around them... oh wait, wrong Navi.
Honestly, the moment I met Navi in OoT for the first time, I wanted to squash her like a bug right then & there. Her constant, "Hey! Listen!" nagging pissed me off so much that I had to mute the sound on my emulator & listen to my tunes instead. And really, Link's girly voice as a kid was annoying too.
