:Hyrule Historia using it ''as concept art'' in no way makes it official- it's still a doodle that's only intended to should what it ''could'' be. That's different from the promotional artwork that we use on every other character's page (excluding [[Lucas]]/[[Ice Climbers]]/[[Duck Hunt]], who have no promotional art, so we use sprites), so it's also a consistency problem. And I'm not saying we should remove it- it should definitely be on there somewhere. But I feel like it's more professional to feature the promotional art, and have the conceptual doodle put to the side, like Ocarina Link or SF64 Fox. <small><font color="black">---</font><font color="orange">Preceding unsigned comment added by</font> [[Special:MyPage|<font color="black">BOO</font>]]! <font color="orange">Or maybe</font> [[User:Nutta Butta|<font color="orange">Nutta.</font>]] </small> 15:26, 29 October 2015 (EDT) | :Hyrule Historia using it ''as concept art'' in no way makes it official- it's still a doodle that's only intended to should what it ''could'' be.

::I don't understand why you're dismissively calling it a "doodle", when it's clearly one of the most polished designs in the HH concept art. Also, artwork doesn't have to be "promotional" to be "official", which is what has always been the term I thought we were going with.

:::Promotional artwork is artwork released officially by the company to go with and promote the game, and that's official. Concept artwork is artwork created well in advance of the game to show how a character, location, etc. could look in the final game, and is generally only released after the game has been out for awhile as an example of what could have happened. It's not official, it's just an example of the process. All other artwork is generally used in some way or another for promotion, and thus I find it meaningless to separate promotional art from official art. | |||
:::Either way, this is not really a debate about whether or not the concept art is official (which, much like Linkle's HW artwork, Chicken Mario from NSMBW, etc., it really isn't) and more of a debate as to whether or not unofficial art/conceptual art really belongs in an infobox. I don't believe it does. <small><font color="black">---</font><font color="orange">Preceding unsigned comment added by</font> [[Special:MyPage|<font color="black">BOO</font>]]! <font color="orange">Or maybe</font> [[User:Nutta Butta|<font color="orange">Nutta.</font>]] </small> 15:57, 29 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
