Breath of the Wild that we missed was a polygoner with Tritarra, on a motorcycle and a Nomura design

we know each other Link from cover to cover, it does not matter which version we are talking about. the true hero of Hyrule has defended the fantasy kingdom from the threat of Ganondorf on countless occasions for more than 35 years. Undoubtedly, one of her most special adventures began on March 3, 2017 with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

A large part of the secrets and the process of creating one of the great works of recent times are already known and Nintendo has been in charge of revealing them. The title was not from the beginning as we see on the screen and the best example of this is Link himself. His initial designs are similar to the final one, but there is one in particular that is an absolute inconceivable aberration.

As we can see both in the video and in the image below, we are talking about a kind of modern Linkwith a very realistic tone in the clothes and that reminds of some crazy design that came from the mind of Tetsuya Nomura for Kingdom Hearts. Features a jacket, winter-style hat, straps, bags, jeans and open mittens to create a spooky vision.

Although Satoru Takizawa, artistic director of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

, does not affect this design during the documentary about the game, it is in the book Creating a hero where we can find more details about it. “This biker and guitarist Link was one of the first designs that was presented at the beginning of development. The modern outfit with jeans and jacket is something completely original for the character,” reads the description.

As if that were not enough, a Tritarra that combined the powers of the Triforce would be one of the main weapons. Din on drums, Farore on bass, Nayru on keyboards for a musical energy that “is popular with the ladies.” In English the name is ‘Tricaster of the Goddesses‘, which is even more curious, since we are talking about a fusion between the word Triforce and Fender’s line of Stratocaster guitars.

The truth is that not everything was discarded at the first exchange, but the motorcycle was kept for the DLC of The Ballad of Champions and it is one of the most curious vehicles in the series. It’s funny to think that in some alternate reality the community is playing with a Link who is going to drink in Hyrule, but the truth is that we missed it.
