Akira Toriyama, in addition to being known for his Dragon Ball designs, illustrations, and scripts, also stands out in the world of entertainment for being the creator of multiple video game characters.
The presence of the Japanese mangaka is in different titles of the most important video game studios, present in Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo consoles. This is why fan arts imagine Akira Toriyama designing iconic characters like Link, from The Legend of Zelda, in the best style of Goku.
Would Link have been this way if designed by Akira Toriyama? Probably not since the manga artist knew how to differentiate both works, but doing this kind of crossover is fun.
The fan art makes the base of the small Goku that we saw in the first arcs of Dragon Ball, but with the clothing of the medieval warrior who moves through the fantasy world created by Nintendo.
According to what you review 3D Games, this design was made by a Twitter user named Emma Koch. The illustration is based on the face of a small Goku who had circular eyes and not oval ones. But in the rest of its composition it is all Link from Zelda.
The red hair, the green suit, the shield with the symbol and the sword finish forming the medieval warrior. Some might confuse his face with Krillin’s, but back then Goku also had the same eyes.
In addition, the presence of a nose is decisive to indicate that, without a doubt, it is a pure combination between the first Goku from Dragon Ball and Link from The Legend of Zelda.
