[concept art] Link Redesigned

[Mewthriii]

Well, you've still got it on his back and to me, that seems like even MORE of a pain. Either way, it's not on his arm. You can put it on his arm if you like, it was just a suggestion.

Also:

It's less awkward and if you injure yourself drawing a blade correctly you really shouldn't be using a blade in the first place.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read V/P's post. Honestly, swordsmen more amateur than Link have been able to draw from their hip without injuring themselves.
