Last week, we featured some concept renders of Link from The Legend of Zelda created by 343 Industries character designer Kyle Hefley. Sporting a more mature and realistic look, it was an interesting mix between east and west.

We've unearthed another piece of Link art and it shares some similarities with Hefley's work - the Elf-like features have been softened, giving the character a more rugged, aggressive look. It's interesting to note that Link is carrying a large array of items - all of the gear he needs on his quests, in fact.

The stunning image has been created by VOLTA concept artist Even Amundsen, who also made the incredible Adventure Time image you see below. Let us know what you think of these images - and if you'd like to see a western take on Zelda in the fullness of time - by posting a comment below.
