Time: *wearing blue zora tunic and holding zora mask just in case* Okay, does everyone have their swimsuits?

Twilight & Wild: Yep. *both in zora armor*

Sky: I've got my water dragon scale!

Four: *puts on zora's flippers*

Legend: *casually slipping his legs into a mermaid suit*

Everyone: *looking*

Legend: What?

---

Legend: I've got a pair of flippers or a zora costume for anyone who doesn't have a swimsuit. I also have a zora ring.

Wind: I don't need a swimsuit. And I'm definitely not wearing that bulky thing. *points to zora costume* (He probably should wear some kind of swimsuit/accessory.)

Hyrule: I can't swim.

---

Warriors: *left earlier to get something and has just returned*

Warriors: *holds up his own zora tunic* Wait, are you telling me this is a swimsuit, old man??

Time: Seems like it.

Warriors: *looks to the side* ... Can someone tell me why Legend is being eaten by a fish?

Legend: *rolls his eyes*

If Legend pulled out his mermaid outfit in LU...

More mermay designs!

Based on a poll for which seacreatures would make unexpectedly beautiful mers (although Tetra always had to be a Tetra regardless). I want to be checkerboard wrasse Zelda, shes so pretty 💛

I followed @lemonheadart quick shading/lighting tutorial for this, then tweaked elements to fit my own style. It gave Winds skin such a warm glow in particular, definitely going to continue experimenting with it!

The vision board!

Link/Wild the Narwhal mer

When he’s not busy diving to the depths, racing or exploring under ice sheets, he loves to pretty himself up by donning strings of pearls or ‘shinies’ (aka lost rupees), or indulging in wearing silks to imitate the beautiful and flamboyant fins of betta mer folk.

The adding silks to imitate fins was inspired by @winedimples everyday is mermay headcanon for Wars who wears silks as a tail extension. Link/Wild doesn’t do it for that reason here, he just likes to feel pretty and experiment with his looks, and the added strength training from swimming with the drag of the fabric is a bonus!

It’s MerMay, so naturally somebody has to get trapped in a tank. Sorry Legend, I don't make the rules, I just follow them…🤭

Image description under the cut

[I.D. A digital drawing of Legend from Linked Universe. He is in his mer form, so he has a bare torso and a traditional pink mermaids tail. His ears are replaced with pink webbing (sort of like a seahorses fins) and there is pink webbing between his fingers too. He has blond hair with a pink tip in his left side-bang. His eyes are a dark purple. His hands are pressed up against the glass, palms flat, and he looks worried, staring at something just over the viewers right hand shoulder. His tail is curled up behind him, implying that the tank is small. The water is a dark and murky colour, and there are bubbles where his sudden movement to press against the glass and look out has agitated the water.]

i think i must accept that cuttlefish mer Four is not getting drawn anytime soon and share the concept sketches from way back in mermay 🫠

Why a cuttlefish? Because they have tentacles/arms and I thought hey thats fun considering Four can split himself into four, and also because they can change colours to disguise themselves / hypnotise prey and i thought that was also quite fun considering Fours whole colours deal.

I also thought it made him a bit of an odd duck among the more traditional single tailed mers, and I imagine that when he first met the chain he kept his arms close together and blended into a nondescript colour and clutched at some fabric to try and imitate a single tail for as long as he could to fit in.

I also thought it’d be super cute for the minish to be seahorse adjacent creatures (although the seahorse with arms sketch does look a little….odd) and for Fours minish mer form to be a seahorse! Going from eight arms to a single tail would be a bit trippy for him at first, nut also the seahorse is again not a standard mer tail and works differently to get him around. I just like a complicated Four 😌
