Where's Link

Here is one of the eight Legend of Zelda pictures I've created in homage to an old DeviantArt User who's account has been disabled for some years.
Can you figure out who he is?

This is picture 3 of 8

If you can't figure out who it is here's a hint:
....He was known by two names

If you still can't figure out who it is I'll give a hint at every even picture
