Linktober Day 31: Free For All!

there were a lot of designs i wanted to draw this month that i just couldn't fit in to another prompt. so today, you get many linktober drawings for the price of one!

today's designs are:

albw link by @chained-spirits

albw link my beloved. i like how this design gives him such strong red hair (his model is ginger so i love seeing ginger versions of him!) and the balance with the green is nice. also love seeing albw links with that hat pattern like he has as a painting. the patterns on his cloak + hat are so nice & i really like the idea of the two triforces on his gloves, it's cute + creative. and i love seeing albw link with purple eyes, because ravio's are green. they match!

alttp link by @churomo

i love all of churomo's designs, they are so cute. and i really really love this alttp link design. the pink & blue are so nice, good colour balance, very striking. and the pink used for the hair is especially nice, it looks so soft & pretty. speaking of the hair, i love it; i am always a fan of a side-braid and this one is so cute. the hibiscus flower is also a nice touch, and i like that it matches the eyes.

bstloz zelda by @loz-furbies

very much a lesser known game here (not even ancient stone tablets, og bstloz) so i've never seen any art of this zelda design save this one. luckily this one is adorable. excellent interpretation of the sprite, i love the dress. and the poofy sleeves. and the hair. she's so cute. i had a hard time picking which palette to use, she looks so nice in every colour!

sksw zelda by @the-phantom-peach

another artist whose designs are all bangers. this one stood out to me mostly because of the dress, and also because she is so so cute. i love her wavy hair. truly i adore her, i want to print this design out and eat it

oracles link by @lilyblossom-art

you may be able to tell, but i was considering this design for day 15 before settling on the design i used instead. i'm quite happy with how that day turned out, and with day 12, when i used a different design by this artist- but i still wanted to draw this link with the mermaid suit. (honestly, it was quite helpful to have this in mind, because otherwise i would've spent weeks trying to decide which lilyblossom design to put in this post. i love them all so much.) it's rare to see an oracles link that isn't also an alttp link, so this design is really interesting to me! i love the blue & yellow palette and the fluffy hair.

botw zelda by @macaroonkitti

this is THE botw zelda design to me. when i picture botw zelda, this is who i see. she's perfect. love her different hairstyles depending on outfit, also. i just love her. 100/10

totk zelda by @jackie-mae

i've seen a lot of post-totk zelda designs and this one is my favourite. she is so pretty. the colour palette is gorgeous, the green and blue and teal, paired with the warm tone of her hair, it's SO nice. i am a big fan.

albw zelda by @clowns0up-felix

all of the zelda designs linked there are fantastic (as are all of the link designs from that au) but i admit, i am biased, and so of course i went for albw zelda. this design of her is so nice- the pink, the orange, the gold... she's like a sunset. (shoutout her gloves, which i am a big fan of but which did not make it into the drawing.) and i always love designs that give her (or alttp zelda for that matter) short hair like this. she's so cute.

hilda by @minas-linkverse

my most beloved of all time. i was gonna draw her for the "favourite character" prompt, but that wasn't on this year's calendar, so she goes here instead! i love her hair and her dress and her vibes. i love her. hilda <3

aoc link by @author-main

aoc link designs tend to put him in either the royal guard set or the champion's tunic. this design does something i haven't seen before, which is make the champion's tunic be the royal guard set. i really like how it looks- the dark purple suits it well. the white gloves and boots didn't make it into this drawing but they are excellent as always, and i LOVE the champion-blue tie on his wrist. also a big fan of the inclusion of the diamond circlet.

💜trying a new/different art style… ✨

This time, I focused only on heads and front hair, no back hair at all—it felt kind of freeing to just play with shapes and not worry about the rest.

These are 9 different Links from 9 different comics, each with their own little twist. I really wanted to see if I could show their personalities even with such a limited view. 💚

From left to right:

Top row

• Warriors — @tethered-in-myth

• Hyrule — @linked-rails

• Time — @zelda-the-sacred-realm

Middle row

• Four — @cokoakeostuff

• Oracle — @chained-spirits

• Sky — @houseofheroesau

Bottom row

• Time — @the-phantom-peach

• Picori — @flm-linkedfissures

• Time — @minas-linkverse

I tried my best, even though I’m still not super confident with drawing different ages—some of them are supposed to look older or younger and that’s always tricky for me.

But it was honestly fun to challenge myself and just let the colours and expressions carry the differences.

Hope you enjoy these little headshots as much as I enjoyed making them! 💛

Watercolor practice with Links from different links meet !

Was the watercolor practice an excuse to draw them ? Yes.

Waves is from my AU, @hyrule-library

Raven belongs to @uncanon-fates (I just love Raven, he's the best, I love him <3 also I like your AU, it's cool to see characters (Links) who don't appear in the games)

Linkle belongs to @nell0-0 (she's one of my fav characters from HW, and your design for her is cool ! Your AU's great too !)

Rail belongs to @casunnart (I really hesitated between drawing your Link OC, drawing Echo (I think it's his name?) and drawing Rail, because I love their designs, but I finally drew Rail ! And your Zelda story looks awesome !)

Lorule belongs to @heroesspirit (I just read your AU, and I love it ! The concept is amazing ! I really wanna read the next part !)

Clover belongs to @endlesschain-au (I love all your designs ! I can't wait to read your story, I'm sure it'll be great ! Also I really like your sketchy art style !)

Bunny belongs to @clowns0up-felix (I like your design for Bunny ! She looks cool ! Also your art is awesome ! I wanna draw as good as you !!!!)

Wild belongs to @minas-linkverse (Your AU was the reason I came to Tumblr ! Your story is amazing ! You inspired me to do my links meet !)

And Kokiri belongs to @chained-spirits (I love your design of kokiri, it is amazing ! Also your story is good ! And I like your art style !)

Better quality :

I'll probably draw another panel of different Links, since I couldn't draw all the characters I wanted
