If you gave him a height increase, did you also increase his width? In the walking down frames, a few look a little obese, or oddly conical, like he's shaped like a penguin. I really love the hylian shield, though, it's done masterfully, and the colours are beautiful. Perhaps something like this could be a bridge between alttp and mc sprites, to satisfy all the people who want to use sprites from both, and the people who hate mixing styles?
