Link With Hood and Sword on His Back

A young elf-like warrior looks out at the viewer with a serious, narrowed gaze. He has pointed ears, a small hoop earring, and long strands of hair falling from under a tall pointed hood. His tunic has a laced-up collar, a mesh shirt underneath, and short sleeves with stitched edges and small straps. A wide belted strap crosses his chest, and the hilt and sheath of a sword stick up behind his shoulder. This is Link from The Legend of Zelda, and the drawing is a close upper-body portrait with clean, fairly thin lines. The mesh sections and lacing make good practice for small, careful coloring. Try classic green for the hood and tunic, then use browns and tans for the belt, and a cool silver-gray for the sword handle. This free printable suits older kids and teens who like finer detail.
