[chaoticoperations]

Doodles of these two little freaks (w/ love)

(For the name changes, just excuse it as an AU pls; i didnt realize they already had fandom names when I was drawing them 😔)

[legend-of-zelda-voices]

Bonus:

Yayoi Niijima as Zelda and Unknown Girl as Link from A Link to the Past Commercial (see here)

Diane Burns as Zelda from cutscenes in Zelda's Adventure

Annie Ward as Zelda and Unknown Person as Link from top down view of Zelda's Adventure

(These people do not speak in their roles, but they are listed as having played the characters, so I thought I'd make a bonus post with them.

Because of this, I am not posting the usual videos showing what their voice sounds like.

However, if you are interested, you can search Yayoi Niijima and find songs by her. For the other actors, you can't really find anything about them.)

I drew Cd-i Link but in my style

[tortilla-of-courage]

In your professional opinion, which link is most likely to test negative in an iq test?

all of them 😔

[gameboyhamazing]

so

um

I was reading the translation of the first Kirby Star Allies light novel, "A Big Adventure With Friends," done by the very talented @ theultimateultimateweapon who i am scared to mention because of what i have done and @ rhythmroute_ on twitter who i am also scared to mention because of what i have done.

I got through the prologue, it was going well, par for the course and all that good stuff, quality translation that i like, etc...and read through the first few lines of chapter 1, then stopped immediately because of what my mind forced me to focus on.

Here, take a look for yourself and see if you can figure out what i saw:

Do you see it? I’ll zoom in a bit closer....

See it yet? not yet? Lemme spell it out for you then:

I saw this, and my mind what did you say Dedede? Wanna say that again?

mind response, real time reaction: wh-

wha--exCUSE me? CD-i Link is that you? And so I made a cursed image to represent what i thought of immediately:

If the translators see this let it be known that I am eternally sorry for inflicting this upon you. if they dont see it though, i regret nothing you can’t make me sorry mwahaha anyways now to actually read the rest of the thing

[napcak]

I'm back.

I love him yes.

A more recent addition to my cast of characters

[legend-of-zelda-voices]

Compilation Post

Jonathan Potts & Jeffrey Rath

~~

~ Thanks to @luwyv, @liccy, @the-wicked-bitch-of-the-best, @peachy-scars, @lost-in-video-game-land, @thestuffedalligator, @zaypay, and @demonchesterr for allowing me to use their art in my collage! More info at the bottom of the page. ~

~~

I decided to put these voice actors together because (1) people sometimes merge the two when they make LU versions, (2) there just wasn't enough content for CDi Link to have his own Compilation Post, and (3) they're the infamous pair of Links who speak.

~~

Thanks again to those who let me use their art in the picture! It was fun to make and I found lots of great takes on these characters in all kinds of unique art styles!

I also tried to edit pictures of LU Hyrule and Legend to look like the Cartoon and CDi Links. [Here]

These are some nice pictures I found too, but the artists didn't respond when I asked them if I could use their art / I found them after I already made the picture, so I'm not putting them in the collage: [Here] [Here], [Here] [Here], [Here], [Here]

Also, if there's a design that's not in here, I probably just didn't see it! Feel free to tell me about anything I missed!
