I dont feel like Im knowledgeable enough in this area to give good instructions from the sidelines without having everything in front of me, someone else might be able to take over and tell you what you need to do. It helps to know exactly which program is preventing you from downloading them, do you know if its your internet browser or antivirus/firewall and if so, what is its name (and version, if you can find out)?
The crashes have occurred on every course (6-8 so far) that I have tried. When I play, I have no other programs running at the same time.
This seems worrying and unfortunately I dont really have any particular ideas about it right now, anyone else do? (about the "power of 2 textures" crash)
I think most people might get that crash once in a blue moon (at least I do), but its rare enough to not really be a problem. Im wondering if your system or GPU is simply too weak... but Links is a really, really old game and I thought even the weakest of modern systems and GPUs shouldnt have any trouble running it, so I doubt thats it. In any case, you could try going into Options > Graphics Settings and if the "Picture Quality" slider is all the way to the right side, move it towards the middle or maybe even all the way to the left. The game will look kind of ugly when it is all the way to the left, but it can be a good thing to test at least.
Does it say anything about memory in the error message? You can show a picture of the error message by pressing the key "Print Screen" or "Prt sc" when it shows up, or Shift+WinKey+S, and then creating a jpg / jpeg file of it. Then in a forum post, see the Attachments tab > Add files.
