I checked my notes right before I went to bed last night and realized that November 20th was a fucking tYPO in my birthdays doc. So uhhh happy birthday Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past??? Today? With early art 😔

Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past were released on the same day—November 21.

Mask and Collector actually have quite a bit in common, apart from being the same age. Life thus far hasn’t been kind to them, but it is love for the land and people around them that keeps them going.

Edit: I got the date wrong and fixed it 😭 oh well, early birthday.

Twilight Princess was released on November 19th. Happy birthday, Farmer.

Farmer considers himself quite lucky to be able to go home, after everything happened, but he cannot deny that a desire for something more had been awoken.

Skyward Sword was released on November 18. Happy birthday, Cloudy!

Readjusting to everyday life after the battle against Demise wasn’t easy. Even now, after things have returned to normal, everyone on Skyloft can feel the anticipation of a great change in the near future, whatever it may be.

It’s November 4th, Minish Cap’s release date, so happy birthday to Forge!

Gods, Forge, think before you speak. You’ll give Shadow a heart attack one of these days.

… how does one illegally officiate a marriage anyway?

Day 31 - Free Space

I was originally planning on having the boys dress up as their villains, but that was…. a bit much for a linktober prompt. So I drew way too many hands instead :)

It’s Moosh! The definition of friend-shaped

Day 27 - Rest/Respite

In a tarot deck’s minor arcana, the four of swords mean rest, recuperation, and relaxation.

Day 26 - Echo

Them!!

Day 25 - Ganon/Ganondorf

WW Ganondorf makes me want to play Wind Waker so bad. I remember watching let’s plays as a kid and just sitting there, riveted, as Ganondorf had actual conversations with Link, lamenting the past and not having “kill the child” be his first priority.

what’s artisan’s relation with ravio? are they buddies? pals? begrudging customer and con artist merchant? And where is ravio in terms of echoes of courage? Is he in artisan’s house?

After the events of A Link Between Worlds, the rifts between Hyrule and Lorule closed, and Artisan hasn’t seen Ravio since then. Sure, he was annoying for a bit, what with the house-stealing and his renting policies, but Ravio became a dear friend and reliable presence during Artisan’s journey. He hasn’t had the opportunity to really reflect on what Ravio means to him now, after everything is said and done, but he keeps Ravio’s now-dormant bracelet on out of fondness and nostalgia. They could’ve been…. well, at this point, who knows? It’s a missed opportunity, but Artisan has never been one to wallow over the past.

Every Link has a reason to go through portals like the one that showed up in the prologue. While Artisan did partially step through because of moral obligation and familiarity with portals, there may be a spark of hope that he’ll get to see his old friend.

That being said, Commander did meet Ravio during the war but never saw his face. Like with most visitors across time and space, though, Commander heard plenty about this strange merchant’s hero, his golden reflection.

Day 24 - Deity

To pray to a goddess long gone and long forgotten and yet still be heard and even loved… it makes one wonder.

We've seen EOW Zelda, when can we expect to have EOW Link falling in?

Saw this ask, went into a feverish haze for a few hours, and emerged with non-final designs for them, because I’ve decided that they’re separate from the other downfall dwellers.

As much as I enjoyed Echoes of Wisdom, my basic plot is already set up, so these two won’t be playing a large role in Echoes of Courage. I’ll definitely be referencing them and/or giving them cameos at some point or another, along with every other Link to exist that wasn’t in the original roster, but they’re not part of the main cast.

Day 23 - Element

The Four Sword sanctuary is such a pretty place.
