This Mod Fixes a HUGE Problem in Tears of the Kingdom!

Wish he still had red hair to reference the BotW tapestry, but this is SO much better than the weird furry dog armor that we already have

If link had been completely transformed at the start of the game it would fix one of my biggest gripes with totk as a whole, that side characters don't recognize you, despite having done quests for almost all of them. Your close allies would either recognize your spirit, or maybe purah sends a message confirming it's actually you, but side characters would have no way of knowing, fixing the issue

The lack of facial expressions is the most jarring thing about The Hero's Aspect the most. This mod does look pretty nice though, it really improves the look of it all.

Why does this mod have to make link so freakin adorable and cute! I love it so much but i do wish it atleast stuck with the red hair.

This looks amazing! And the fact that he has Mineru's secret stone makes me wish he was the Sage of Spirit. I mean, Link is the 5th champion, and Mineru is the 5th sage. Perfect.

The idea of Link getting to keep Mineru's secret stone is so sweet to me actually! It makes a good degree of sense too, since the New Sages and Zelda (presumably) got to keep their stones. It would have been really cool if Link had to forms in the game, a Zonai form and his human form. The Zonai form is what allows you to use the abilities, while human Link lets you interact with the characters normally. I do think that Link's horns should be a little more unique, but I LOVE that they glow! Makes me kind of wish that Zelda kept some of her Light Dragon features in her human form.

I dig the headcanon behind this, but tbh I wish the horns weren't an exact copy of the Light Dragon's horns. Each dragon has unique horns, and even Rauru did not have full horns (he had horns, 4 of them, but they were more like just sharp nubs on his head, not full horns like the dragons), so IMO Zonai-Link's horns should also be unique. Maybe mirroring the shape of the hilt of the Master Sword or with a design that mirrors the green "braiding" on the grip Also I never wore the Ancient Hero's Aspect either. I wore it once just to see what it looked like, then took it off and never looked back

Gotta love how a modder makes it look better than what Nintendo has done. I wonder if there's a mod for Zelda to keep some dragon aspects when she reverts back into her hylian self.

The ears and white marks on the original one were the biggest issue. The white markings going accress the mouth was creepy. And not giving him the big, adorable ears was just a missed opportunity. As for the red hair, it makes him look too much like Gannon. I know it is supposed to be an homage to the Ancient Hero, but it doesn't quite fit here. And it would be awesome to be part Zonia throughout the game! Abd make people STILL not reconizing you make more sense.

seeing zonai link Me: must... resist... the cuteness!

The Zonai Link we all wish we got...

This mod looks so good. I do like the original model despite it not blinking. 😅 But after looking at this, part of me wishes the finalized design was a hybrid of the Zonai mod and the original hero aspects. Since the Zonai are creature-like race with elemental properties, I potentially see it as more inspired by Wolf Link while having the greenish fur and marks of the original. A cool head-cannon for this design would be Link meets the spirit of the ancient hero that fought the calamity 10000 years ago. He tells Link about his stone, the Tear of Courage, and how its power can only be used by someone with incredible courage; sensing it in him, he gives Link the stone and it allows him to become a Zonai ☺️ Just some food for thought but this mod has lots of potential

Ancient hero aspect looks like a picori, not a zonai. I think we just assume he's zonai. Zonai have large ears. I haven't seen a zonai with a tail.

I feel that because Rauru and minuru are royals they look different than the everyday zonai. Which is why The ancient hero looks the way he does. Just an average zonai

This Mod is well designed! Havibg the expressions makes it so awesome!

The horns are cool, but they don't make sense lorewise I think The secret stone also doesn't make sense for me And the hair should have stayed red so it would still represent the ancient hero while also being Link Aside from all of that, it is a really cool mod

To be fair, the sample size of Zonai we got is 2, and the both of THEM are related. I think this looks awesome, but doesn't necessarily make Link look more "Zonai", just more Rauru. I took the look of The Hero's Aspect to infer the Zonai were all of different animal types. Yes, this LOOKS better, but poor Link gets written out of history looking like that, too... 🐈🤷🏽‍♂️🐩

Nintendo next month : Zelda TOtK update : new zonai link design update

THE ZELDA DRAGON HORNS

The ancient hero isn’t necessarily a Zonai or even from the same tribe as Rauru if they were. It’s an interesting mod but the dead stare aside the ancient hero clearly has something else going on
