I refuse to provide a source, though one does exist, because truth is self-evident. Just look at him with his blonde hair, bewildered but confident stare and his earrings. This should be proof enough that Marshall Mathers was the inspiration for Ocarina of Time's incarnation of Link. The lead character designer himself said it was based on someone famous, and that he paid special attention to how he looked and the shape of his nose. River Phoenix was already dead for several years, Tom Cruise is ugly as fuck despite no doubt serving as partial inspiration for the original game due to his 1985 movie Legend, and Leo had only just achieved mainstream prominence after OoT was already well into development. Meanwhile, one Eminem had just dropped his first album 2 years prior to OoT's release and was living in the limelight, to say nothing of his Aryan looks, determination, and affinity for ear jewelry that mirror OoT's Link. Fuck Leo, fuck Tom, and fuck River Phoenix in his dead ass. Eminem was Link.

Correct. His first official album was Infinite (1996), but it didnt sell well at all (1000 at most). He got mad and created Slim Shady through the Slim shady ep (1997), which Dre heard after Em attended the rap olympics in California, making Dre seek him out and create the Slim Shady LP with him. Prior to Infinite, Eminem was known as M&M and did work with Soul Intent and the Bass Brothers.

Given that Link's updated OoT design was created in Japan by Japanese people during the mid 1990s, the more popular the white actor was at the time, the more likely it is that his photos were the ones used for reference. So Eminem probably wasn't even on the list.

it's an easy way for moody introverts to get some form of human interaction while also maintaining the anonymity they strive for in real life. i get it to an extent, i'm here too afterall, but some of these dudes are completely fucked in the head and having this unrestricted outlet for vitriol just makes it easier for them spiral further and further into madness and depression.

>Correct. His first official album was Infinite (1996), but it didnt sell well at all (1000 at most). He got mad and created Slim Shady through the Slim shady ep (1997), which Dre heard after Em attended the rap olympics in California, making Dre seek him out and create the Slim Shady LP with him. Prior to Infinite, Eminem was known as M&M and did work with Soul Intent and the Bass Brothers.

Thanks for the info. I'm from Canada, and I honestly didn't know who Eminem was until after "My Name Is", which basically Eminem's first hit single? He also appeared in Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit early on along with Dre and Snoop Dog. When that music video 'my name is' started airing on Much Music Canada (Canada music video station) 'my name is' would be in constant rotation.

those aren't the same guys, i would know because i'm the dude who brings up OoT's non-linearity, shops, and the red potion vs fairy argument for easy you's, i also dabble in floigposting, although i unironically stand by all of this and i would never use the term "zoomer" or post anime girl reaction pics because i value my dignity more than that. i don't even play FF7 and that other faggot is way worse than me.

I don't know what the fuck the Mod is doing, but holy shit you are on something if you're bothering to delete posts in here criticizing your shit moderation instead of this fucking god-awful, shitpost thread.
