Historically inspired Hyrule! Mixing it up a little off the medieval theme of the last two, this time doing Roman Republic. Hyrule's fighting style in game is very roman so I wanted to reflect that in my redesign. I also tried using a maille brush to draw the maille instead of drawing the rings individually like on the last two, I think there's pros and cons to both looks but it's certainly far far faster with the brush.
I opted for a short and stocky build instead of the typical skinny build for Hyrule as I've always imagined him being that way especially that he casually will fight 8+ blue Lynels or Darknuts at once and win. Overall I think my favorite part of this design was the little ear guards on the helmet, while they are featured on a lot of roman helmets making them long enough to protect Hylian ears ended up with a silly look that I enjoy a lot.
