After a day of doing this, I am finally done :F
To be honest, I was taking my time so.... that's why it took a day to do it lmao
. . .
Now before everyone gives me a raised eyebrow and a pointless explanation as to why these names are odd and sound pointless for the Links... let me explain e_e
...
All the names (except one) are in japanese which took me some time to find for each of them... I don't want to be like the ones who give them names that sound uninteresting <_>
And before you start pointing out that one of the games are missing from this, i'm going by how the Hyrule Historia laid out the timeline, though i'm still listing them all by game appearance.
The ones that gave me trouble naming were Twilight Princess, Hyrule Warriors, and A Link to the Past... and for the right reasons...
In japanese, Twilight is spelled oddly and doesn't sound like a name, while HW Link was just hard to figure out because of his place in the story of Hyrule Warriors. Though him being the reborn Hero of Legend might be good for origin, so that's why his name is "Kigen".. which means "Origin" in japanese lol

The Link that was seen in the newest Zelda game for the Wii U is called "Shigen" because in english it means "Resource"
If you look closely at the trailer, you can see he is using the same kind of material the enemy uses, so really he's making the monster have a taste of it's own medicine.. and it's possible that you are able to collect parts from defeated enemies.. however that's just a theory that i'm sticking by (GameExplain of course had this idea first)

TP Link's nickname "Shigoto" means work, since he was a farm boy at the begininning of Twilight Princess it only makes sense to make it his name. If anything, his original nickname was to be called "Akira"... which is also his Japanese VA's name.. :"D
The feels I have right now lmao

So yeah.. that's it for the strange ones, i'll just put this here so people can understand each one :F

____________________________________________________

Legend of Zelda / The Adventure of Link: Tansa "Link" = Exploration
- (To compliment how the games start you off with nothing to explain, only to let you freely explore.)

A Link to the Past / Link's Awakening: Saishū "Link" = Last
- (In regard to being the last descendant of the Knights of Hyrule.)

Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask: Chrono "Link" = Time
- (To compliment being named the Hero of Time.)

Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons: Shūki "Link" = Cycle
- (As going by the title and gameplay mechanic of each game, considering that it can mean both ways.)
- (This is only if Oracle of Seasons / Oracle of Ages had it's own Link, but it instead has the one from A Link to the Past & Link's Awakening.)

Four Swords / Four Swords Adventures: Kubetsu "Link" = Distinction
- (Four of the same person equals four distinct personality traits.)

The Wind Waker / Phantom Hourglass: Arashi "Link" = Tempest
- (To connect with the game's theme and to make a nice alliteration ring with his sister, Aryll.)

Minish Cap: Sukoshi "Link" = Little
- (To compliment the game's main gameplay mechanic.)

Twilight Princess / Link's Crossbow Training: Shigoto "Link" = Work
- (Compliments his original occupation as a Goat Wrangler.)

Spirit Tracks: Kikai "Link" = Machinery
- (Ties in with his affiliation with trains.)

Skyward Sword: Tori "Link" = Avian
- (Fits with the theme of being in the sky.)

A Link Between Worlds: Rikkyō "Link" = Overpass
- (Empathizes the main plot point of the game.)

Hyrule Warriors: Kigen "Link" = Origin
- (In regard of him being the reborn "Hero of Legend" and also going by how the game tells the story.)

Legend of Zelda 2015: Shigen "Link" = Resource
- (Going by how the trailer shows how he is using the enemy's weapons against it in his own way.)

Skyward Sword.. has got to be the HARDEST style I had to deal with.. and it just had to have been watercolor styled :""D
As for everyone else... they were fun to color and draw
Minish Cap is probably my favorite to be honest.. Elzo is just lolzy to me XD
The Wind Waker is my favorite because of how adorable he's acting
Hell his name is my favorite just because of how fitting it is ^w^
I also was trying to differunciate the Toon Links and make them somewhat realistic like the other Links just because lol
It turned out better than I expected really, since Minish Cap made me lol while drawing

Remember, these are only nicknames, i'm not really planning on making them actual names in my stories, mainly because it would throw a hell of a lot of people off just by looking at it..
So yeah~
...
*Note to self.. never try and do Skyward Sword Style ever again... it will destroy my soul :"""F*

All of the goddamn Links ~
Nicknames ~
