if what Webzen said is true (regarding the fully customisable and dynamic avatars) then it shouldn't be an issue, because it's merely a coincidence. i wouldn't be suprised if they made the avatar used in the screenshots a little more "link-ish" just as a taunt, though :icon26:
I can understand that if they ripped off the actual character and put him in the game then they would have grounds, but having a similar-looking character that can be very easily modified by the character isn't. As BitWISE said, although the new character may be Gay, Young and Blonde, it hasn't been ripped, Webzen are simply following a popular design convention of anime and this is the result.
No, they blatently ripped off the ww design.

Actually, the judge labelled Marvel's allegations as "false and sham" and threw out the trademark claims.

Its a little harsh. Come on, its not a "little" like it. It "IS" it. Thats what link looks like without his hit in his PJ's at the start of the game.
