Gamespot Miyamoto interview...

[A Black Falcon]

Oh, and yes, Link definitely has pink hair in LttP... how strange.

I'm not sure exactly why the sword swing is odd... it just... IS... you have to look at them to compare it and it does look different. It is different... faster and more curved or something. I just thought that it looked somewhat strange -- and didn't like it. The whole LttP Link sprite is strange looking when compared to the Link in LOZ or the later LA... oh well. They improved it later...

The FS Link looks different too, but that one's a good 'different'...
