The development team behind the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker have revealed that they initially thought about having beams shoot out of Link’s eyes when the started development on the game. The team revealed that Miyamoto said that they needed to come up with a means to justify Link’s oversized eyes and this could have been the thing they needed. However, Takizawa concludes that this wouldn’t have been a good idea.
“Now that the eyes had gotten much larger, we wanted to make their facial expressions richer by increasing the number of patterns for the eyes and mouth. Partway through, we even talked about having beams come out of those eyes! (laughs). I don’t think [eye] beams were really an option, though.
That would have been weird.
I kinda hope they add it in the new Zelda HD…Maybe it could be a power Zelda gets instead of Link or something!? She’s pretty magical! :O
Strange.

Link in this game is pretty retard lol
wat
Um, what?
Hello Jaded_DryBones even Jtz, Nintendo commander, Icezeama, n-Dub and the great Nintendo gamers that don’t comment but only view this site due to Troll-essence shall appreciate with bewildered joy the removed plans of the original wind Waker LOL.
Take that dick out of your mouth before you try to form a sentence
To troll or not to troll is your prerogative. So troll on.
It would have been the worst Idea ever D:
Wait! what?
Read the title, saw the picture, and immediately imagined Link shooting laser beams out of his eyes
i can shoot laser beams out of my tits
This needs to be wii fit trainer’s final smash
XD
Lmao!
Oh jesus, WFT’s arm pit hair…
I’m sure there were plenty of odd ideas thrown out there in the early development stages.. Sometimes you have to be super creative and come up with possibilities like that. But everyone knows that in the end such a thing wouldn’t be final, at least not without some major changes.
At least they came to that conclusion themselves. It certainly would of been a BAD idea.
If by “Bad Idea” you mean”Cluster Fuck” then I agree.
LOL I like that better! That’s what I meant!
Do you not see the “(laughs)”? I’m pretty sure that it was said as a joke, and it was taken as a joke when he said it. Seeing as he said later: it wasn’t an option…..
what? ala cyclops?
No, Ala deathpool -__-
I would have put my name as Piccolo in the game if it was possible.
Possible to shoot laser beams out of Link eyes.
Really?
They should’ve also had sharks with lasers on their heads, and let us fight them with our laser eyes from the boat.
missed opportunity for the remaster.
Would have been a cool feature some people wouldn’t want it tho cuz they’re afraid of change
God you’re smart.
Yes, that’s exactly it.
I don’t want lasers being shot out of Links eyes, or nose, or ASS because I’m afraid of change.
It has nothing to do with how fucking bad that idea was.
Its because your too use to the way link always was that if one little thing was added like eye lasers you would flip out so yes it is because your afraid of change. If link had that since the first Zelda you wouldn’t think it as a bad idea
For what purpose would it be for? Do other items already have similar capabilities(sword, arrows)? What puzzles would it solve? how doest it fit with the theme and story?
Sure it would be kinda cool, but it would be redundant and out of place.
the sling shot had similar use to the bow and arrow and both were still in the game. can add a use for it and just like they added a use for the iron ball and chain in TP or any other “new” Zelda ability, item they can add a use to laser eyes. Its possible and would be cool that’s all
I’m not afraid of changes, the new mechanics in a link between worlds are very nice imo. I don’t think laser eyes would fit in wind waker though, would be pretty jarring.
wish it was a cheat code lol
Yea like Arwing in OoT.
Thank God they didn’t put it !
IMMA CHARGIN MA EYE LAZORS
That is the stupidest thing I have ever read…
Lol how would that even possibly work? Link becomes Superman or what? xD
That would have been fucking awesome!
So it’s a focused, eye based version of the fire magic from ocarina of time? Hmm, that’d be interesting. It’d be interesting to see what other kinds of weird magics Nintendo could think of
Wonder what Ganondorf would get?
imma firin mah lazars.
lol, the poor Beamos would feel obsolete.
Why justify his giant eyes? What about his giant head and micro feet?
The “lasers shooting from his eyes” idea would be cool if it was just a special power Link could gain during his journey. But a bad idea if he was just able to do that normally.
Wish they added it… Wind Waker Link would have been cooler in Smash Bros if he had LASER EYES!!! O.O
Eye lasers?
And before that, Link’s pupils were supposed to turn blood red when enemies were nearby. History is weird.
Well since the Zelda series covers a large timeline, they could make one that takes place in more of a modern/futuristic setting much farther down in the timeline. That way, maybe they could implement the eye beams through goggles or something…
هههههههه لا يصلح تماما
Ay chihuhua!
Link of Wind Waker also known as R.O.B in Link’s skin
Oh my gosh!
Oh lawd!
even nintendo doesnt acknowledge hiroshi yamouchis death. thats just sad.
They did… they said on Twitter they will honor his passing through a day of silence on Twitter.💋
Beamos anyone?
It is therefore necessary to know how to prevent their occurrence.
One important point is that apple cider vinegar should be diluted.
So do not wwaste your money on false hope of a mirwcle medical cuyre
for our acne.
