.....Yeah I think the silliness of the Robin Hood hats are pretty on par with Link's at the very least, I'd rather see him in a hood.

Yeah...



I don't think so

Eh Beyonetta's hair kind of ruins it though since it's too tall.

But yeah I did indeed underestimate the silliness of Link's hat, but I honestly think the Robin Hood Hats aren't much better.  It's the pointiness, all the pointiness.

That's literally the most extreme example you could have picked.

Honestly if they can make a slightly better version than this one I think it could work.  I find the Link hat actually looks good if the hair is long enough.

It looks silly, either way.

That was my point.

A lot of classic fantasy apparel looks silly. It's fantasy. Gandalf's wizard hat looks silly. A witch's hat looks silly. That archer hat you posted looks silly. There's a reason Green Arrow doesn't really wear his classic hat on the live action show.

It's up to costume designers to go with what works and make it work for the atmosphere.

.....Is it wrong that I don't think Gandalf's hat is silly.....it actually looks badass to me.....the beard and long hair really help with making it badass.

It's not wrong at all. I think it looks bad-ass as well. Silly, yes. But it totally works for the atmosphere & feel of that movie world.

This?

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I actually find this quite badass. The way I see it, the longer the hat, the sillier it appears. One of the main reasons why I chose this over Link's hat.

Even top hats. They're cool, but when you really look at them, it is a bit comical.

Yeah and honestly Spoony looked great with it in Suburban Knights.  Hell Nostalgia Critic didn't look half bad in his Link Costume.

Again I find this way sillier than the Link Hat.  And don't diss Top Hats.

They'll likely change it into a hood, I don't think either hat would fly.

OR!

There's no Link. I'd be fine with the Imprisoning War.

Yeah I agree a hood or armor would be the better choice.

It would be interesting if they did the Imprisoning War, what we got in the manga was pretty neat.

Yeah, that. It's very silly. A better example would've been this.



Classic Errol Flynn Robin Hood wore that hat well and it worked perfectly for the movie cause it's Robin Hood. Link's hat, if done well, would work fine for a live action show.

But they're still silly hats.

They'll likely change it into a hood, I don't think either hat would fly.

I think they'll make it work, whatever they choose. I trust costume designers.

Hmmm I think I kind of like the one in Robin Hood Men in Tights a little better, though that's my personal tastes really.

I don't find that hat silly, either; in fact, it's less so. Although, I will concur that Errol's is a better example. I think that would be absolutely perfect for Link.

But, like I said: opinions. We all have our own.

Nah I don't even think the Errol Flynn or Mel Brooks Robin Hood Hat would work.  It honestly would be jarring.

Like I said if they can't do Link's hat, Hood, Armor, or No Hat would be much better than a Robin Hood Hat.

Though I think she would look better if the hat was bigger somehow.
