Looking at Link\u2019s torso, you can see a shadow that stretches from his right arm to the middle of his chest. At first glance, there doesn\u2019t appear to be a nipple, but try taking good, hard look at it. You can probably see that toward the bottom of his pec there is a small patch that is a shade darker than the surrounding shadow. It\u2019s a little mixed in with the patterns on his skin, but you could interpret this small patch of shadow as his nipple or areola.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1469\" height=\"866\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1469px) 100vw, 1469px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001.jpg 1469w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-600x354.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-380x224.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-768x453.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-696x410.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-1068x630.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-001-712x420.jpg 712w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In other words, there remains the possibility that he does have nipples. It could be a matter of Nintendo\u2019s skillful ability to subtly depict nipples without explicitly drawing them. In any case, it appears that both possibilities remain, so it feels a little early to straight up declare that he is nipple-less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That said<\/strong>, if you take a look back through the history of <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> series, you\u2019ll realize that the chance of Link having nipples in <em>Tears of the Kingdom<\/em> is quite low. To delve deeper into the history of Link\u2019s nipples, let\u2019s now take a look at the investigatory video created by Thomas Game Docs, a YouTube channel focused on video game research. &nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why doesn&#039;t Link have nipples?\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xn-qM-Sj9sw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>First, we\u2019ll start with the previous game, <em>Breath of the Wild<\/em>. The opening scenes of the game show Link awaken with no clothing on his upper torso\u2014a perfect chance to show off his nipples. However, no matter how many times you examine his chest, there\u2019s nary a nipple to be seen. The game also allows you to explore the field with a bare chest, but progressing through the game is not going to make Link magically sprout nipples, of course. As soon as Link begins his journey in <em>Breath of the Wild<\/em>, we know that he has no nipples.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00b-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Now, let\u2019s jump back a bit further. According to Thomas Game Docs, the first time that Link was depicted with nipples was in <em>The Legend of Zelda: Majora&#8217;s Mask<\/em>. In this game, Link can gain a variety of effects by wearing different masks, and some of the masks allow him to transform into other races. When wearing the mask that turns Link into a Goron, you can see that this Goron Link does indeed have nipples. The Goron NPCs in the game do not actually have nipples themselves, so this would mean that Goron Link\u2019s nipples are not a characteristic of the Goron race but of Link himself.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"689\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q.jpg 1220w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-600x339.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-696x393.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-1068x603.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00q-744x420.jpg 744w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Thomas Game Docs\/Nintendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Interestingly, in <em>The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess<\/em>, Link practically flaunts his nipples. During an event in the game where Link must compete in a sumo match against Gor Coron, an elder of Death Mountain, he first trains with Mayor Bo. During this training, Link is dressed in an outfit that reveals his chest, and we can see that he has clearly depicted nipples. His nipples are even more detailed in the game\u2019s HD remaster, so much so that nobody could deny their existence.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1222\" height=\"671\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1222px) 100vw, 1222px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq.jpg 1222w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-600x329.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-380x209.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-150x82.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-696x382.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-1068x586.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236899-00qq-765x420.jpg 765w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Thomas Game Docs\/Nintendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>However, outside of those two examples, sightings of Link\u2019s nipples are few and far between. He is rarely seen without clothing to being with, but in <em>Breath of the Wild<\/em>, at least, it is clear that he has no nipples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the official art book for the game, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorse.com\/Books\/3002-422\/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Breath-of-the-Wild--Creating-a-Champion-HC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild \u2013 Creating a Champion<\/em><\/a>, there is concept art for Link that shows him without clothing, and there is nothing on his chest that resembles nipples. In other words, it\u2019s likely that even from the beginning, the development staff never intended for Link to have nipples in <em>Breath of the Wild<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <em>Tears of the Kingdom<\/em> serves as a direct sequel to <em>Breath of the Wild<\/em>, it\u2019s likely that it will retain the same setting for characters and the world. That means it\u2019s very likely that Link will continue to be without nipples in this new game.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1368\" height=\"770\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1.jpg 1368w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230210-236826-002-1-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>After looking back at the history, it seems the debate about whether the shadowy portion of Link\u2019s new key art represents a nipple is not a debate at all, and he probably doesn\u2019t have any. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, <em>Breath of the Wild<\/em> was a large step forward for the series, and it really re-examined a lot of what had become the norm for <em>The Legend of<\/em> <em>Zelda<\/em>. In recent years, it has become the norm for Link to not have nipples, but there is always the possibility that that too will be reconsidered in the future.
