See this story on the front page as well.

Who's behind Link? The IGN people said it might be Zelda, but she has grown much taller then :P

That's an awesome cover, but I think it'd make a better poster. But anyway no Tingle is a good thing, that "guy" is creepy. And I can't wait for that issue to come out on news stands, I'm going to be sure to buy it...

Awesome cover.

The guy behind Link might be Ganon, as he was already confirmed in the game.

If that's Ganon, he got one heck of a makeover.

The nose looks small and pointy, like a woman's. I'm gonna hedge my bets and say that's Princess Zelda

That seems much more likely to me too. Looks like she's modelling the fall fashions again. In other words, she's in disguise again.

Ganon has always had green/blue skin, this hooded person is fair of skin, it is perhaps a descendant of Ganon?

Both Link, and the hooded persons nose look relatively similar therefor I think it's quite possible it could be a man :P

Since there are millions of theories about the game floating around, I remember seeing some people speculating about the existence of a Dark World in this game like in Link to the Past. If that is the case, then maybe the hooded character is Link in the Dark World. That would sure beat being turned into a rabbit again.

DISCLAIMER
I'm not saying there is a Dark World! I'm just saying I hear rumors that there is, and if there is, this could be plausible.

Yeah i first suggeted the dark world theroy on another topic but i just came up with that, so its not official in anyway. The figure behind Link is properly not dark link cause you defeated him in OoT but it could be a Hylian who was banished to the dark world for some reason and has come back for revenge or something like that but remember i'm just telling what I THINK IT COULD BE so this is not official.

I've decided male or female it's nor Ganon nor is it Zelda. It is most likely a henchman/henchwoman of Ganon who has some sort of control over dark powers.

Well, I just received that issue yesterday and I've read the whole article on it MANY times over. I think that the front cover is awesome, but does raise a few questions. And I'm not sure if any of you read this... but when EGM was interviewing the person they brought that exact question up. This is how he replied.

EGM: And that shadowy figure on our cover with his or her back to Link?

EA: Very sorry, but we'd like to keep it secret. People can take your cover as a big mystery. We're not sure when we want to break that information- maybe [at the next E3 show] in May or maybe not. As a hint, you can also see a kind of castle in the background scenery...

it could be zelda/shiek because the Sheikah are also called the shadow folk which could explain the dark cloak.

I don't think it is but it could be be. He was in Adventure of Link which is way past OoT in the timeline. So that just shows that just because he was in OoT and got defeated, it doesn't mean he can't be in a future game.

I have a theory. Dark Link is like a Summon of your Dark side, so it doesnt necessarily need to be defeated cause it is just your dark side. They can summon your dark side (sounds like taoism right?, i dont believe in that). I think Dark Link could have been a show of power from Ganon.

The Dark side of the Hero has been present in many games throughtout the gaming history and TV shows. Samus in Metroid Prime for an example. MMBN 4 (Megaman battle Network 4) has a Dark megaman.

I didnt notice the symbol of the Sheikahs in his back until now. I dont remember well but i think that there were only too descendant of the Shiekah, Zelda and Impa. But there might be other survivors. Cuase they are "shadow folks" they wont be like: "Im a sheikah"

[For those who have never gotten past the tutorial level in the Windwaker may find a small spoiler]

You may all attack me for saying this, but my guess is that the person behind Link is Ganondorf. Look at this picture...

Now, I can't find a picture that is not copywritten with his back turned. However, if you remember and look closely Ganondorf has the SAME DESIGN as the back of this mysterious person's robe along with the symbol of the Shieka ;).

Note: I know Ganondorf is not a Shieka, but the same thing was on the door of the entrence to his room in the Forsaken Fortress in the WW.

Good point.

Lots of people say it has to be a chick because of the profile, but look at Link! He also has a vaguely feminine profile....could be Ganon, could be Zelda, could even be someone new.
