So is the purple really his hair or was Dobson just making d
shit up? These weird color choices Remind me to Yoshi's orange arms in mario world. Did they do it for better contrast?

It's just a sprite color choice for CRTs and how it would blend, you don't even notice. Only in the crispness of emulation.

lol zoomers think CRTs are black and white i guess?
MAYBE on RF, or a dying tv it could get washed out enough. idk it would probably still look pinkish. its a really bright color when compared to the rest of the sprite. compared to the rest of the game for that matter

i can only guess it was done for higher contrast. zelda 1 had a terrible problem with exactly that. its sprites were basically unintelligible and always blended together. 2 was better, but link can still get kinda "lost" in the background of some palaces ime. i guess once they got to SNES and had access to way more colors they just decided to "over-correct"

They used orange on the cap, but in the art its yellow

>> No.10587754

I think it was to keep the sprite standing out in all environments since the pink was not used in any environment.
