    ALttP: 20 years and still taking me to school

    I just had my mind blown by an image posted on 4chan's new /vr/ board for Retro Games.



    It is with sadness I report that, for me, for the last 20 years, it was the image on the right.

    On a somewhat related note... just like convenience stores and gambling, having your fortune told is just a front for what REALLY goes on inside this creepy building:



    Goatse, anyone? (Link's eyes just scream "Can't unsee!")

    I had to go back an look at the screenshots of Agahnim but I was looking at it right. Easy mistake though. I am pretty sure when I first play on the SNES I saw the version on the right.

    LMAO @ the Fortune Teller sign.

    I used to think it was the one on the right too, but at some point I realized the white spots were eyes. I am not sure what made me realize it. It was probably when I took a closer look to how he was depicted in the comic series that ran in NP. Compare the image and you can see some resemblance.

    I think the problem is that Agahnim's head is positioned too low, and the turban+circlet hat combo is too large.

    I always pictured the one on the left, but I've had this problem with other games. For example, in FF4 I always thought the Goblin's sword was actually its nose. Probably should have taken a closer look at those pixels!

    Holy shit. Wow, till seeing this, I totally thought it was the one on the right (sans the long hair, I thought it was a hood). I've seen Agahnim's artwork, and knew he was supposed to have have a burka looking thing, and I never could figure out, why one, he was green, and two what was going on with what I thought for years was his face/ head.

    This makes a little more sense of it. By looking at him (and later, Ganondorf) one has to wonder why the Hylian kings trust such sketchy looking motherfuckrs.

    I never saw it that way, but looking at it now... Kind of looks like Porky/Pokey, doesn't he?

    Wow, I can certainly see how the error could easily have been made, and it gives me a whole new look at how Aghanim may have been perceived by many. Neat discovery.
