aaaaand they're finished! my redesigns of my Zeldas are finally all out there, thanks god. Last but not least, here we have the child timeline girlies, as in my head hyrule warriors is canon, taking place long after twilight princess, with breath of the wild coming even longer after it.
First up is Queen Dawn, or Twilight Princess Zelda. Her name comes from the idea that the dawn signals the end of the night and the rise of the sun, just as Dawn's leadership shows that Hyrule has recovered from the Twilight invasion and the light of good has conquered. Zant's invasion humbled Hyrule, and she is reconsidering if Hyrule even needs a monarchy. thank you to this artist for some inspiration!
Then is Aella, from the first Hyrule Warriors. In Greek myth, Aella was a warrior woman who battled Hercules himself-- likewise, Aella is a mighty warrior who would gladly take a sword to the gut for her people. I GREATLY redid her design. Princess or no, she's still a warrior, and should be dressed as such. No capes, no skirts, no boob armor, just reasonable soldier's gear. I'd like to shout out this artist for the inspiration behind the design.
Finally is Sundelion, or Sunny for short, BOTW/TOTK's Zelda. She has been deeply, deeply affected by her time as the light dragon, including a serious change in eyesight (Purah made her the glasses), which yall can read more about here
