Title: Skyward Sword Inspired by (Ai) Cho Aniki ?!?!
Post by: xelement5x on January 23, 2014, 03:07:54 AM
So I was reading the Hyrule Historia last night and I came across a section that talks about concept ideas for characters that were considered in Skyward Sword but abandoned.  Imagine my surprise when I saw the following concept as one they had thought about!

The VERY FIRST thing I thought of was Ai Cho Aniki with Samson and Adon.  Was some designer at Nintendo influenced by the game maybe?  Or are buff brothers like a trope that is commonly used in Japan? 

PS-My apologies for the crappy pic, I took it with my phone and tried to brighten it up a bit.  It's odd how the moire effect occurs even when using a phone.

Definitely Adon and Samsony.  (http://pcengine.freeforums.org/images/smilies/Aniki.gif)
