It's great to see that you guys like the Link sprite, as for the walking and things such as that will come in near future because right now I want to pull off some more characters in this style just to keep going further, so I'll leave a question for you guys to you guys.
Question: Should I continue making sprites in this style only based on the Zelda theme or should I sprite characters from various games?

Been a little lazy today with the spriting so I made some small sprites.
SHAZAAM! A little mockup I made to show how the HUD looks when it's in place.

Here is the sheet:

That's really hot. Keep up the great work. The only problem I can see with the mock-up is that the green circle has way to much AA and it makes the circle a little unreadable but other than that, it's really nice. If you wouldn't mind me suggesting but could you sprite a Koopa from Mario in that style? I ask this because yesterday as I was reading through this thread, I saw your avatar from the corner of my eye and what I was seeing was a koopa and that got me to want to see a koopa in this style.

In which statement should I sprite the Koopa in? Standing or crawling position?

Anyway you want but if my opinion would count I'd say standing.

I'm sorry for my double post but I gave a try at the Koopa sprite and it was a pain in the ass to make and still it's not complete. The only problem at the moment are the feets. Anyway, here is the wip sprite.

Maybe the head should be bigger?

No, actually that's just perfect. Try adding small parts of the green shell on the side of his head or something. The head is actually perfect and everything thing looks perfect, keep up the great work. I could see my self playing some RPG game with this sprites in it.

The only problem with that mockup is that there's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much sel-out on the buttons.

Is this supposed to be for some crossover fangame with Zelda and Mario?
Also, your c buttons look too big imo

In the Mario world heads are always bigger.
