Her awakening

Man that final memory cut scene tugs at my heart strings every time 💔

Drawn for my self indulgent BOTW / TOTK zelink solo zine project!! I'm working on it super slowly on and off so I have no idea when it'll be ready to sell 😂

Other than finished pieces like these, I'm hoping to include some comics, wips, and doodles in the zine as well 🙌

A new brainworm! What if Zelink met as kids first 🥺?!

It'd be so cute if little Link was temporarily assigned to guard & watch over little Zelda ahhh

And then they meet again 7 years later when Link gets re-stationed at the castle!!

Height difference reversal yipeee

No calamity in this AU I think!

Link is slightly older than Zelda, but not by much. I just imagined little Link trying to mother hen little Zelda and it's so cute! He tries to get her to stick to her proper bed time and prayer time, but Zelda is too good at sneaking around😂

Link is probably a bit of a stick in the mud in this AU, but tbf he is responsible for the safety of the kingdom's darling little princess. He takes his job very seriously (as seriously as a 12 year old can lmao)

They become besties eventually, Zelda dragging him around all over the castle causing mischief and shenanigans!!

But then Link pulls the Master Sword after a few months, so he's relieved from duty of being Zelda's guard & gets sent out to train / eradicate monsters all over Hyrule. Zelda loses her friend :(

And then the reunion happens 7 years later!!! Zelda remembers Link being so much taller than her back then, always nagging her like a mother hen, chasing her around the castle court whenever she skipped prayers, etc. He got riled up so easily it was kinda cute. She looks forward to meeting her childhood bestie again...!!

But the Link she reunites with is quite different. For one, he's smaller than her now (cute). But he's also gotten so serious and quiet. When Zelda suggests mischief to get a rise out of him, he just quietly nods and follows behind her silently, like a guard that he should be... How boring! He must've gone through quite a lot to have changed this much.

Now Zelda is on a mission to get past Link's serious mask and befriend him again!

And ofc they eventually get together! Don't mind the alpha/omega assignment in the 2nd pic hehe I just thought younger Zelda topping older Link would be sooo cute, ok I'm done rambling thank you for coming to my tedtalk

Twilight Princess Zelda in boyfriend tunic

for @hurricane105 !!

She's wearing Link's tunic because her clothes got ruined from mud/poison ivy while visiting Link. (Or insert any convenient excuse to see her wearing Link's clothes)

You're hurt again, Link.

Half-dragon Zelda x Link art trade with dine on twitter!! (Zelda design credits to her)

You know how dragons like to hoard shiny teasures... Zelda is upset that her precious treasure has been harmed, but I'd like to think she retained her ability to heal Link from when she was the Light Dragon🥺

AU in which Link was raised by Ganon & meets Zelda for the first time

I had fun designing emo chunibyo Link! Inspired by TOTK Ganondorf's clothes and gerudo voe outfit - Link here mainly fights with gloom sword (katana style) but it weakens him 💔

He can control gloom to a certain degree but he also... isn't immune to it so he's perpetually gloom damaged rip😂

I want him to lose his memories in a fight and get adopted by the champions, fall in love with Zelda, and defect!! Give me all the cliches!!

EDITED TO ADD:

Ganondorf is not very good in this AU!

He's a demon king in hiding, biding his time for conquest. He snatched up Link as a child & raised him to be a lonely henchman.

Ganon taught him everything Link knows (so he can be useful to Ganon) but Ganon definitely does not have Link's best interest in mind💔

a secret tryst

[hazeleafyy]

the infamous potlid incident

Ever since I saw Daruk's diary I can't stop thinking about this scene in my head. A literal pot lid got Link appointed to be Zelda's guard.....

Impa probably scampers over to check on Zelda and Link uses that moment to crabwalk away before he can make a bigger fool of himself😂
