I love how whimsical the official art for ALTTP looks.

The Golden Light

yapping under cut

HOLY SHIT WAS THIS A BEAST BUT IT WAS ALSO SO WORTH IT. had the lines down over a week ago but had to hold off to do my uni assignments, and was buzzing with anticipation to finish it. this is my (first) love letter to alttp, the story that has captivated me in all of its old zelda storytelling charm. i havent even finished the dark palace yet.

there's obvious symbols here, with link reaching for the triforce as is commanded of them, and his rescue of zelda in tandem with his bunny form, moments both of them were vulnerable and felt trapped. but i also wanted to convey more of their relationship in this, how i see it - the complications of zelda only able to rely on link, but also how it is inextricably tied to his duty and ability to fight for her (represented by the sword), not any sort of connection they have as companions or friends. link is looking away from her, to the goal, the only thing he has that is sure, the only thing he has to keep pushing towards, unable to stop and consider what has happened to him, to them - and zelda looks at a viewer, in the same way as in the cell, trapped by what they must do, and what may have always been a destiny. the golden triangle reflected in her eyes, ears pointed up to the heavens. and, as well, how everything is bracketed by those that came before them: the castle pillars, the knights and the king, the adults and those of the prior generation having failed those of the current, leaving them with no choice but to pick up the shattered remains of the kingdom. a whole world of light, and darkness, and infinite colour, streaking across their minds like lightning

or something like that. im a writer first, before an artist, and these are my thoughts :P i hope you enjoy them, and the art

FINALLYYYY!!!! I finished my Zelda lineup!!!!!! It took SO LONG but I didn’t give up 💪

…anywayyy now comes the part I hate the most… naming them 👁️👄👁️

I think I’m just gonna leave it like this unless I suddenly get struck by a genius idea, which realistically probably won’t happen 👀👀👀

I would cry actual tears of joy if anyone drew my babies 😭😭😭

Also I’m putting these two here because I was too lazy to redo my Link lineup and I had completely forgotten about them 😝 >>My link lineup (it’s been a bit since I last posted this…)

A Letter from No One

To My Beloved Zelda;

I regret to inform you that I cannot, in good conscience, accept your proposal. To be your personal knight would be a blessing beyond belief, but I cannot live in Hyrule any longer. More accurately, I cannot thrive in Hyrule any longer. Everywhere I go, every corner I turn, I am met with people who see someone I am not. I cannot escape the myth of the man I am not.

I never wanted to be a hero. All I ever wanted, my heart’s truest desire, was to simply be… just a girl. Sometimes I imagine myself as a bunny, carefree and frolicking. Hopping here and there, chewing on a clover or two. I know that the rabbit has fears and worries. That it wouldn’t be an easier life. The bunny doesn’t have a heroic legacy. The bunny’s just that, a bunny. I wish I could be just me, a woman.

When I went to wake the wind fish, I hesitated. A part of me didn’t want to lose this island life, because… because if I did, would I ever find another place that I could start totally unknown. That I could be whoever I want, that I didn’t have to be the hero. A place where I’m not known as the boy who saved Hyrule.

Which is why I have decided to leave. By the time you read this letter I have already set sail in search of somewhere new. Somewhere with forests and trees, somewhere with people who don’t know me. Somewhere I can be the woman I am.

I will never forget you, Zelda.

Sincerely, No One
