isnt that gonna lag like hell?
i have a modelled young link based on P:M's OoT Link, with a significant amount less of polys if you're interested, it only needs texture adjusting and those sexy masks
everything in the scene isn't visible, he has 4 shields total. 2 deku shields and 2 hero shields for the alt version. and if needed I could optimize it, it really isn't a problem
also, I would use your model but:
I don't want to redo the face so it can use textured expressions
I don't want to edit the model to fit the bone edits I did
I don't want to do texture edits
I don't want to re-add the shield, sword, sheath, masks, bracelets, etc.
I don't want to have to re-rig a whole model
there's more but I really don't feel like going on about it
