Nah, the old sprites were too "chibi", too "similar" to the actual show. So I just redrew his sprites to fit his appearance on the rest of the scenes/minicomics AND fit the new sprites of the rest of the characters (Most may not know it, but this game had even OLDER (and ugly) sprites for the sisters and such, back when I wasn't even sure if the game would be a hit or not, and the story and game's content was barely planned).
Now his height and proportions fit better, and is about Lynn's height, just above Lucy's
In the following image I show how Lincoln's sprites (old and new) would look in full body, respecting the style.
(btw, "heads tall" is an approximate, counting cranium + jaw, no hair. and may vary with the pose of the body.)
Anyway, Lincoln's sprite changes were necessary to fit the rest of the game. Now he's not "older" or anything, just in a proper style matching the rest of the characters.
