Which game is this Link from?

Despite my hours of scouring, I have been unable to identify this Link specifically (as there are 12 different Links that appear in 20 games, not including animations):

Which game/movie/animation is this specific gif from? (BONUS: Which Hero is this?)

I wanted to say this was either the Hero of Skies or Link from Hyrule Warriors, but not sure.

Given that the gif only shows a very restricted shot of Link, it's hard to say for certain, but I believe this is the Link from Hyrule Warriors, based on the graphics and art style.

As you can see below, he has the same haircut, the same chain mail armor, and the same shirt beneath the armor. Only the scarf is different. Maybe he's just not currently wearing his scarf in the gif?

As far as gender goes, Link is definitely a male, but I wanted to create a character where anybody would be able to relate to the character.\u201d
