I never knew he had brown or blond hair. It always looked kind of ginger to me...Here he is in the appauling CD-i version of Legend of Zelda...
As much as I hate to admit it, I take the CD-i Link as being more accurate than the 80s cartoon version. I don't view the cartoon as (as the nerds call it) "canon" anyway. The Tri-force was wrong for starters and Ganon was brown in pig-man form. :D
What's the deal with Gannon/Ganon/Ganondorf anyway? I couldn't fully accept Ganondorf of Ocarina of Time as the Gannon and Ganon from the original NES games for a long time...
