Breath of the Wild studies #5

[kenneduck]

I started sketching this while I was feeling terrible about my art yesterday... I thank everyone for the king messages! I think I may have hit a burnout... and I would like to try posting sketches and testing out different characters, so I can take down the immense pressure I've been putting on myself!

I think I've been working to hard on perfectionism... that it's been blocking... just wanting to sketch. Have fun. I hope this is okay!

(also yes I chose this scene cause I was sobbin yesterday)

♛ ¦ send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion .

there was no need to turn zelda into a warrior especially in the wild timeline .

i just think its okay for a princess to need to be protected , and it hardly makes her a damsel in distress because she possesses plenty of skills otherwise that make her an active participant . the whole premise is that she isn't as useless as the believes , and at no point did she need a sword to prove that .

so when people long for wild!era zelda to wield a sword i just ??? what ??

one thing i liked about the wild!era is that zelda isn't a fighter despite it making sense that she should have been prepared to stand in battle because a calamity is approaching . she's a priestess . she hasn't undergone physical training because she's a mage ( and not a particularly great one at that . )

aoi trying to portray her as this warrior princess ready to frontline for war misses what made her aoc unit so creative and quintessentially wilds!zelda . she doesn't fight the frontlines . she uses her tools she has available to support the frontline -- and that doesn't diminish her . she uses her magic to allow the frontline to work their magic . she shoots her arrows from a safe distance and uses her slate to make the most of what she can do .

i just . . . gesture to echoes of wisdom , which makes an almost perfect example of an awesome swordless zelda mechanically for the most part ; zelda does not need a sword to be put in her hand in order to be strong or courageous . least of all wilds!era zelda , my goodess .

idk fam i just hate badassification in the name of girlbossing .

what . . . in heaven and earth was that supposed to entail ??

zelda's features set slowly , crease tending to the ambiguity in link's message . from it , one could surmise that he happened upon some sort of happy accident , or rather , some stroke of ingenuity that'd turned out in his favor . either case , zelda came to learn that when a boy's ' good ideas ' took flight , she would be made to feel rather grounded .

[ txt ] : that is not ominous in the slightest . [ txt ] : pray tell what have you done now ?

thumbs fail to punctuate the amused huff behind her response . link turned out to be rather creative when nobody was looking . she would give him that . and so not even an inkling of what was to come came to mind ; however , he knew better than to stoke her curiosity and then fail to deliver :

[ txt ] : no photograph ? [ txt ] : 🥺

im not a fan of post!totk zelda retaining dragon features . like . . . it looks cool , but i really don't need zelda to have them personally . it doesn't help that i'm just not a huge fan of the dragon hybrid bestial designs that that tend to float around . while there is certainly fun to be had in theorizing in what effect being a dragon for so long could do to zelda , permanently retaining physical dragon traits just aren't what i envision for zelda nor what i would want for her to live with after being brought back . i'm more into subtle , invisible threads to that part of her life lingering unseen and misunderstood by others .

its not that deep or serious , and i'm not particularly spicy over this take . . . but dragon!hybrid art doesn't do anything for me .
