Hw zelink is one of the best political/forbidden romances in LOZ. And I’m not talking about the age of calamity one, but the Definitive version. Bc the entire war stems from a sorceress jealous of zelink’s soulmate bond, bringing link and Zelda to explore their relationship out of trauma and love. Also I’ve seen many fics of what happens after the war, and it’s always sad bc the Queen is expected to marry for her kingdom and can’t chose link leaving him to be a distant memory or a lover.
Have you explored this zelink yet? Ur art is awesome btw, I just also wanted to say hi im a fan and i LOVE ur comics!!!
Dear Bellsoftime, please excuse the delay of my reply.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Knowing people read my comics fills my heart with happiness, i always was scared to show my writing but Im getting more confident thanks to you all ❤️❤️🥲
Okay, so! If there's one aspect of Hyrule Warriors: The Definitive Edition that I appreciate, it's all the solid Zelink imagery and all the unsubtle shots that demonstrate their instant connection, the tenderness in their eyes, their sudden and complete understanding of one another. The cinematic scenes really make us feel the delightful Zelink trope of these ancient souls caught in an eternal cycle of reincarnation, recognizing each other again and again.
To answer your question: have I explored this incarnation of Zelink artistically? I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you a little: No, not really.
Get ready to throw rocks at me: I played HW but I never finished it. These Zelda spin-off games have a lot to offer story wise and visually, but the gameplay stress me out too much, and the repetition makes me lose interest quite fast. The endless hordes of enemies that spawn, the timers and objectives… I finish playing and I'm more stressed than when I sat down. The experience and atmosphere of these games are very different from main LoZ who are adventures you complete at your own pace and they are my comfort happy place. This comfort feel affects my creativity and need to draw. Despite all the fan service that HW delivers straight to my veins, I don't have the same level of engagement when I play, and the gameplay is the main culprit. I enjoy drawing what we don't see, what is left to our imagination. Also, now that your question makes me reflect on it, maybe Hyrule Warrior Zelink is so explicit and clear that I don't feel the need to fill in like for what's left ambiguous in the main games. And I drawing interpretations on which i brainrotted.
I agree that HW Zelink can generate many delightful stories, and that this duo benefits from many social and circumstantial aspects that others don't. I should pay more attention to them... Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I appreciate your interest in HW Zelink; it makes me think about what original things I could draw with these two.
Take care, and see you around! 🙏
