THEM...the sidequest of all time!!!! (final hours OST playing at increasing volume in the background)
The original
"Have you seen a princess around here? The boss said she escaped but forgot to tell us what she looked like..."
Been watching my friend play through the Oracle games and realized despite all the comics I never really did my own take on the series and needed to fix that. Had a lot of fun with this pile of goobers.
✦ Zelda's Secret Identity ✦
shhh, she's undercover
(but she will absolutely tell you her name if you ask)
what do you MEAN theres gonna be an oot remake WHAT DO YOU MEAAAAN
sketchy drawing I did for fun. so anyway I've been playing chrono trigger and I really like marle...so I drew my sweet girl in my favorite marle pose
unfortunately hyrule propaganda worked on me in EoW because that zelda is just so delightful. Them going through the effort to show that the common townsfolk cared about her because she frequently associated with them personally is just too sweet for my little black heart to take. AND her actually putting in effort to build relations with the gerudo people? sorry. sorry. im defending this one royal. its bc she gets off her ass and gets shit done.
using the zelda universe as my outlet for geopolitical commentary is my main and remaining interest in it atp tbh. since the games are too scared to even unpack the bullshit they themselves imply time and time again its like.
Fine I'll Do It. Since You Are So Difficult.
made the mistake of thinking about zelda recently. it all goes really good until i think about totk and get really madddddddddddd
I do think it's strange when ppl call Zelda's decision to turn into a dragon 'out of character'. I think it's a deeply unsatisfying progression of her arc, but also entirely in character for her.
Zelda's main point of confluct in BOTW was being unable to awaken her powers, and the resulting tension between herself and her role as the princess. This conflict resolves by having her awaken her powers under a moment of extreme stress, in a desire to save Link. This end to her arc is, to me, nonsensical and unsatisfying, but nevertheless, BOTW concludes with Zelda ultimately fulfilling her duty. After awakening her powers, she sacrifices herself and uses her power to suppress Calamity Ganon, hoping to stave him off until Link returns to fight him. And it works.
So, in TOTK, why would it be OOC for her to swallow the secret stone? Of course she'd choose to sacrifice herself, using her power to ensure Link can return to fight Ganon. It worked the last time.
It's not satisfying to see the narrative reward her self sacrificial tendencies and frame them as the correct choice, but Zelda jumping to self sacrifice and believing it to be her destiny seems very in character to me. Because BOTW very much reinforced this conclusion.
wanted to remake my CDI ZELDA MENTIONED pic. now with 100% more DINNER! (and a lore-accurate goblet)
...i also gave her a little travel companion
Today’s Toon is writing an overly hostile description of Pina the fruit vendor
Oracle of Ages/Seasons portrait dump
someone threatened me on a post of mine about cdi link so, naturally,
Some Gerudo OC sketches
idk, hearing a voice i respect on reviewing horror literature bringing up that majora's mask is his second favorite zelda game oat, "right after totk!" literally floored me. Immediately started doubting my own taste.
But also at the same time I was still thinking "HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY GROUP THOSE TWO TOGETHER? AND PUT MAJORA'S MASK BEHIND THAT ONE?!"
So I really do wanna give totk a fair shake.
