I just want some feedback on this 16x16 zelda type sprite, which is based sort of on the links awakening sprite.  Included a quick sketch of what the character is actually supposed to look like but its kind of hard to transfer that into 16x16 pixels.  the colors are sort of inspired by a.b. lazer

some changes

There are too many individual pixels that serve little purpose. You should think of this in terms of very small pixel clusters. At 16x16 getting down the basic shape and form is top priority, and very difficult to achieve. Right now the sprite looks a bit too square, but it is possible to achieve a more womanly form at this resolution.

Here are some 16x16 sprite I made recently, maybe they can be of some assistance. I personally googled gbc/nes sprites for reference, and can only suggest the same.

Other than that I can't offer much help, this is one of those things that you constantly have to fiddle with (is that a southern-ism?) to perfect, since moving a single pixel means a hell of a lot more than at higher resolutions. In the end these are all nitpicks, as what you have right now reads pretty well, and that's all you can ask of a 16x16

hmm. well I prefer the old one to be honest, more depth and the different segments of the body are more individually defined. it's more obvious which leg/arm recedes

Looks nice, you might try making the arm swing less pronounced in the forward-facing sprite
