Separated At Birth?

These video game characters bear a striking resemblance to real-life celebrities.

Link - Keira Knightley

We spent hours looking for a guy with just the right amount of elfin charm to serve as a real-life double for The Legend of Zelda's hero...only to realize that the right man for the job is not a man at all. We'd rather throw a green cap and some white pants on Pirates of the Caribbean star Keira Knightley and let her have a go at saving Hyrule. Knightley's been taking on some more dignified roles of late, but we remember her swinging swords with Johnny Depp and kicking ass in Domino, and know she'd rise to Ganon's challenge.

sorry guys, but any elvish-looking guy must look femenine unless is a ***ht elf from hellboy or WOW... and link look very elvish...

True. But Link sure does look feminine. Maybe some facial hair would help dissuade his female-like features.

Link is not a girl. Even the person who made Link said he tried hard not to draw him like a girl. THE CREATOR OF LINK SAID THAT.

well, that comparison of link is better, the other one could be child link with the kid from two and a half men...

Sorry, totally disagree. Give Kiera blue contacts and blonde hair -- and you've got Link.

. . . I hate life. You just simply CANNOT disgrace Link like that. Sure, so he looks a little feminine, but he is NOT a girl or girly at all. You try slicing through millions of Moblins and hundreds of dungeons and not look like a freaking train wreak. I give Link Kudos for not looking like a pile of zombie parts. But the rest of the list is pretty spot on! If I was to make movies on those games, those actors/actresses (Except for Kiera) would definitely play those characters.
