"The outfit portrayed here is from the videogame Super Smash Bros. Melee, in which Link's tunic is available in several colors; the character traditionally"

I assume that's supposed to be followed by a "wears green."

Regarding the pic itself, the colors don't match the alternate outfit from Melee in some very notable ways (hair color, belt), which makes me wonder if that's really what he was trying to portray.

Heh hadn't read the location yet but somehow immediately knew he was french which distracted me from the fact he tried to portray Link Very Happy Nice try but the saturation of color at his head draws too much the attention (completely ruins it from me, and no not the being "french" part, that's just friendly neighborly teasing Razz)

That's definitely Dark Link. He may not have the red eyes (would've been awesome), but the white hair, black sword, and black gauntlets give it away.

You're right, it's definitely Dark Link he's trying to portray. Looks like he based his outfit on the Twilight Princess and Brawl versions of Dark Link (both have the gauntlet, though they are slightly different from each other and his outfit as well).

So in other words, ANN, you should update the article with the correct info when you get the chance, though it's anyone's guess as to which version of Dark Link (Twilight or Brawl) you should use as a reference pic.
