[image description: three digital art pieces of different Zelda redesigns standing against a tan background. The first is Skyward Sword Zelda, a woman in her mid 20's, standing in a neutral pose with a smile and shut eyes; she has brown skin and short braids in rainbow beads pulled back by a light blue bandana with two strands tightly wrapped in cream fabric framing her face. She wears a tan tunic with a grey-blue-green sash cut in layers with geometric detailing, and light brown thigh-length shorts. Her boots are a darker brown with simple blue detailing along the top.
The second is Minish Cap Zelda, a young girl holding up the edge of her dirtied dress while smiling softly. She has brown skin, and her hair is braided against her scalp and pulled back into two puffs at her ears, with two strands of hair threaded through pink beads framing her face and a simple gold circlet tiara. She wears a pale pink and grey-purple dress with many petticoats and a grey-blue tabard decorated with the triforce and swirling white designs. She had long pink gloves, and the hem of her poofy skirt is muddy from time spent playing in outside.
The third is Four Sword Zelda, a teenage girl with an awkward smile and stiff stance. She is pale, with dark hair that is braided in two loops, one on either side of her face. She wears a large red bow in her hair, supported by a gold circular hairpiece. She wears a magenta sleeveless layer over her aline grey-pink poofy dress, that has a blue tabard with triforce and red geometric designs. She wears a pale pink cape held in place by two golden circular clasps near her armpits decorated with golden tassels. End descrition]
I had a ton of fun with drawing some Zeldas and ended with with all our pre-timeline split girls! First is skyswd Zelda [she/her] or Aurora (after the aurora borealis), then minish cap Zelda [she/her] or Zellie, and then four swords Zelda [she/her] or Quartz. I have a whole post on these and other zeldas' names here!
I think I'm gonna do all the Zeldas and break them up into chunks: pre timeline split, oot, child timeline, adult timeline, and fallen timeline. Should be around three each, give or take, and I'm super excited!!!
What do yall think of them?
I'd like to shout out bonus-link's design for minish cap zelda, which was a massive inspo for zellie!
