My submission and a sheikasona I sketched for @legendofzelda-sidequestzine! Sadly the zine was not printed, but it did become a free to download PDF so if you like Legend of Zelda, be sure to check it out :D A lot of love went into it! I did the Deluxe Pictobox sidequest from Wind Waker. Being Link and going around just totally made me imagine the Mission Impossible Theme song as I went around taking pictures of everyone so I wanted to draw that out ahhaha not to mention the -_- face that the old man who gives you the quest makes when you take a picture badly. It still haunts me.

TLOZ: By Firefly’s Light

The groggy adventurer was gently awoken to the warm light of the pre-dawn sun. The orange light made its way through the open doorways and pushed Link to get up from what only felt like a nap. He stretched and began to make his way out of the stable’s warm inn, gathering up the minor weaponry that laid about the outer stables to keep on his person. A stable girl gifted him an old sword with rust on each end of the blade, out of sincere thought, as well as worried for his well-being. As he went off down the path, he followed the signs and mountain ranges in the distance, setting off for Kakariko Village.

The path seemed to be paved in gold, with the warmth of the incoming morning light hitting the back of his shirt and illuminating the remainder of the way. In this instance, Link couldn't help but smile after a short yawn. If this was the land he would be saving, he did not mind it thus far. The people were kind and the land something ethereal. The slight weight on his shoulders being that evidence; his bag full of fresh grains and fruits, and even a sword to defend himself.

Hyrule truly was a wonderful land.

While he walked, a few wild horses roamed free among the debris of broken guardian bits scattered in the distance from the stable. Within a few more steps, he could see a stone bridge covered by aged moss and cracks in between large pieces of rocks. This land seemed all too familiar to the wanderer.

A distant scream caught the adventurer’s attention immediately. Without thinking, he began to sprint towards the origin of the sound, weapon ready in hand. His instinct told him to cross the bridge and run towards the small forest next to the path. The greenery upon the shade of the mountains was more a blur though as he made eye contact with a red creature that had cornered two young lady travelers against the trunk of a tree. With no thought in mind, Link took a running start on the bokoblin as it took notice of him.

But it was too late for the monster to properly react, or so he thought. The bokoblin swung its spiked club at him, whereas he instantly ducked underneath the attack. Link swung the rusty sword as he parried to the right, slicing through the demon spawn with one swift movement. The monster collapsed quickly and disintegrated into dust once it made contact with the spotty grass beneath them.

The girls were clad in travelers clothes, each with a backpack and shields attached to each of their bags. The two girls looked up at Link in absolute awe. The first girl gave a quick bow to Link before running off into the sea of hills. The second merely smiled as she followed behind her sister.

A strange but fulfilling emotion tickled the inside of Link's chest as the two girls left his line of sight. He was just happy he was there in time to help. The adventurer continued quietly on his path to wherever the sign prior had pointed. Lucky for him, the quick sprint had been exactly in the right direction.

Following the strange path along the mountain, he found a sense of solace in the surrounding area. Birds flew over him towards the fleeting sun's rays, singing and tweeting as they passed. The sun peeked at its noontime glory as the time began to quicken through the day. Beneath his boots, the path started to wear off becoming only grass. By the time Link had noticed, he took a moment to assess his whereabouts. The path he followed let him to a one way trail. And yet, the large chunks of what seemed like rock covered both sides of it, leading on a slow but obvious curve. What might have been at the end of that curve, Link did not know.

Still, he knew he had no choice but to find out.
