FromSoftware gives out Link for 3D Dot Game Heroes

In commemoration of today’s launch of 3D Dot Game Heroes, publisher FromSoftware is handing out CDs containing a few pre-made characters using the in-game character editor. While anybody can make a character, this saves some time for those who are a bit bummish.

On the disc are characters unseen before until you get to the character named “Green Hat”. He’s the guy in the image above. Clearly, he’s supposed to be Link from The Legend of Zelda considering this whole game is inspired by the Nintendo classic.

It’s just risky on their end, basically giving out a Nintendo character with a different name, don’t you think?
