A bunch of ink studies and sketches.

I love Tiny's nose. It's so fun to draw. And I think I'm getting a handle on drawing him as a kid. He's an adorable little weirdo with a thousand-yard stare.

Ravio is another one of my favorite Zelda characters, I like the idea that he's a heavily sarcastic scam artist who also makes one of the most harrowing ethical choices ever seen in a Zelda game. While wearing a bunny hood. Also Sheerow is the most competent one on the top row.

I've been trying to figure out everyone's height in relation to each other, and wow, the downfall and adult timeline Links are tiny. To some extent with video game heights you just have to accept that getting exact values is a fool's errand. Oh sure, you can pull out the model and measure it, but then you have to account for the fact that there's lots of size multipliers applied to models that can change throughout the game, and that the entire world might not quite use the same measurements as ours, plus stylistic differences, and... yeah it's hard. It's pretty clear most Links are tiny (except Tiny, who ends up being huge canonically) and I'm going to make Ravio about 4'7" / 140cm. Since it's hard to reconcile the wide range in sizes of Hylians, I think there's just a tendency for some to be very small, just like the Gerudo have a tendency for some to be very large, and certain ethnic groups have more or less of this. The ones surviving in the harsh environments of flooded and downfall timelines tend to have more of the smaller Hylians.

In the middle we have Link from OG Zelda and Adventure of Link. He's probably even shorter than Ravio. I've given him a Phrygian cap, which is pretty cool and loaded with symbolism. I've also drawn his fairy form, and tried to keep the curly hat shape. He's green because of course, but also a little red for the color shift when he uses the shield spell.

At the bottom we have a rough idea for a shadow beast from Twilight Princess, because they were hugely influential to me and one of my favorite designs ever, though I think I have to refine this further.

Also a maneless lynel! No thoughts only big kitty.

My last post is a sneak peek to the next chapter of my crack fic which has just been dreamworks movie references so far XD

The most recent chapter can be found here

The BG are just the ones from Trolls 3 but I killed the trolls

Took a request from Discord and ended up drawing Healer as a result as well as some of his "Sisters/Cousins" I haven't quite decided if I wanted them to be in Healer's Era or another's but I like the idea that all fairies are able to feel a connection between one another regardless of where they are in time so Healer is commonly seen sitting and chatting with fairies and is best at finding them.

Imma taking part in Linktober once again!

This time, I decided to draw the entries in the sketchbook, just like two years ago, because traditional art is quicker, while it takes me days to create digital drawings. Plus, digital art makes me very exhausted.

About the entry itself, it's simply a remake of my drawing from 2020, but without Kyle.

This is actually a very early concept art for the fourth chapter of Hyrule Park. I wanted to add something of my own into BotW story, and it was a freaky mansion owned by my OC named Dina. I wanted to add something similar to these places from cartoons where everything is just… wrong. Like the characters entered the mind of someone insane. Back then, I didn’t really care about constructiveness and just added everything to the comic, whatever I wanted. Only later did I realize that it was necessary not only to insert certain moments into the narrative, but also to put meaning into them. This is especially true in the adventure genre, so it shouldn't be surprising that I've been working on this comic for five years now. Now, everything that happens in the mansion happens for a reason, but because of this I had to leave out some plot points, including Link and Kyle meeting older versions of themselves. So, that's why this remake doesn't include Kyle anymore. Because it's no longer related to Hyrule Park.

I decided to jump onto the Links Meet AUs that are popping up all over Tumblr as I’ve been inspired by a few including but not limited to @linkeduniverse , @minas-linkverse, @bonus-links so here's mine. I went with the title Linked History because I had the idea of delving deeper into the lore and the timeline and started building from there. So the timeline with be switched and I have more that will be joining the line up in the near future. But here are the main ones finished along with an OC. I will share them each separately and give more details on them then. Otherwise please feel free to ask questions and I will try my best to answer though the story is still a Work and Progress so I’m still working on fleshing it out.

I will also be adding some of the “not-canon” games/characters to the line up and story cause I want to. These include Cadence of Hyrule and Triforce Heroes.

Because so many of my favourite stories of yours revolve around this concept: Zelda finding out what freedom is with link helping her figure it out.

Okay, not sure if you'll like this one because I used Zelda II's Link and Zelda and no one but me likes that game LOL! I tried to be different with the Zelink since, like you said, I have a couple of fics already like it!

Also on Ao3!

"Link, tell me some more. What happened in these years since my slumber?" 

Link sat on the steps of North Palace with the Princess Zelda by his side. She looked around with her eyes filled with wonder, a new light she'd never seen before. She'd never seen this Hyrule. Her Hyrule had passed by some hundred years ago, and she was set in a constant state of wonder and amazement. 

"The new Princess Zelda was in need of my assistance as Ganon tried to steal the Triforce. We stopped him, and then Impa passed along that you'd been asleep since your curse. And I just... I don't know. I had to help you. If I could." 

"You did. Goodness, you did. To see the world again, to be able to breathe the air and taste the sea. I can smell it from here. And there's another thing that is far more difficult to see, but it is felt just as clearly: there is no fear here. You've taken their fear and cast it away. As you've done for me." 

Link shrugged. "I didn't. I just... I did what was expected of me." 

"You did far more." 

"How does it feel," he asked instead, "To be a princess, but not the Princess? Do you feel relieved?" 

"Confused. I don't know how to be anything else. But it seems P... Princess Zelda... the other one... has the Kingdom well in hand. How could I possibly seek to impose?" 

"You don't have to. You can just... be free." 

"Free," Zelda scoffed, shaking her head. "What even is that." 

Link stood up off the steps of North Palace and held out his hand. He wriggled his fingers. "Come on, Princess. Or... can I call you Zelda?"

"You saved me from eternal slumber. You can call me whatever you'd like." 

"'Beautiful?'" he asked, the word slipping out as he stared at her red hair. She was gorgeous. A stark contrast from the equally beautiful brunette princess, but a unique beauty that had him rapt in her. 

Her brows shot up as she brushed her hair off her shoulder and took his hand. "Oh, you're one of those charmers, are you?" 

"Only if you thought that was charming." 

"I did," she smiled, blushing. "It's been centuries since someone has complimented me. I suppose I'm more open to the corniness of such lines after all this time." 

"Did you used to hear them before your sleep?" He led her down a path, taking off into the expanse of Hyrule field. He could feel her hesitating, and tapped his sword. "I can keep you safe, but we'll keep to the paths. Don't worry."

"I'm used to worrying about everything," she muttered, following beside him with her hand tight in his. "And no, no silly Hero would dare flirt with me before. I was as isolated then as I was at North Palace. Worse, because my brother was so controlling. Anyone who looked at me... the way you do... well, they'd be... taken care of." 

"Like I do?" Link asked with mock offense, smiling as the former Princess' laugh rang out in his ears. 

"Yes! You have these puppy dog brown eyes." She pulled him to a stop so she could touch his cheek. Soft, light, she took a moment to truly feel him. "Like no one I've met before." 

He blushed viciously and pointed back to the road. "We're almost at Rauru." 

"Rauru? Who's that?" 

"Not 'who'. It's a town." 

"This used to be around where Leoch was. Is that still here?" 

"I don't know who that is, so no." 

She smiled. "It's a 'who', it's a town." 

"Forgive me, Princess." 

Her smile grew. "I'm not a Princess, am I?"

"No," he said, grinning. "No, you're not. You're free. So come on, Zelda. Let's go see what's new. Let's go see how you get to live."

Low-key first post ugghh

This is kind of an introduction, I'm thinking of making my own "Links meet" Comic. I was originally just making Linked universe fanart but decided I wanted to make my own story and plot, so some of the designs are similar

anyways these are just some silly sketches for designs I have planned out, they might change a little though,,

Bonus from a scrap idea

A late birthday present for @telemna-hyelle !!

You're a lovely writer and I've been meaning to draw something for you for ages🥰 this story was so so sweet and soothed my soul❤️

My friend and I just had this convo and I made a meme.

Practicing faces with the Links.

One of the "rules" of Bad Moon is that darkness is not equivalent to evil. So what does is mean to kill your shadow? Here are the Links that did that.

Light is Nayru's domain, the goddess of truth and stasis. Darkness is Din's domain, the goddess of lies and destruction/creation (not the same as evil though!). Farore is the transitory goddess, of change and movement. Typically Nayru and Din oppose each other, not necessarily because they dislike each other or anything, but because they're philosophical opposites. To kill your shadow is to be beholden to the truth, but also to stunt your own ability to remake yourself. To embrace your shadow is to be able to build anew, but also makes things unclear. All Links are, by default, blessed by Farore, but they can be favored by other gods as well.

Left is the original Link from the Legend of Zelda and the Adventures of Link. At the end of AoL he defeats his own shadow to prove worthy of taking the Tri-Force of Courage. He'd do it over again to save the princess, but removing part of yourself is a harrowing act, and injured him greatly. Everything is just so bright now. On the upside, he's by far the most accomplished at wielding magic in Nayru's domain, though his abilities with Din's domain have suffered.

Middle is Tiny, of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. He had defeated his shadow in the water temple, allowing him to earn Nayru's Love, but upon being sent back to the past (perhaps Zelda foresaw problems if he stayed) he regained his shadow, going so far as to free Dark Link from the temple. Tiny is a prodigious dark magic user, blessed by Din and the dead of Termina, but he's lost Nayru's Love for freeing his shadow instead of destroying it.

Right is the Lieutenant of Hyrule Warriors. Cia tore his shadow from him during his lowest point and force him to fight it. While he managed to take down part of it, he could only defeat it with the help of his allies, meaning his shadow is only partly fractured. He's still capable of using a wide range of magic, though he's not the same sort of raw magic wielder that Original Link and Tiny are, instead using it to augment his own strength or via tools.

Not shown: the Hero of Legend (ALttP, OoA/OoS, LA) does have shadow Links (as seen in ALBW) but they're not "his." They're the shadows he fought and defeated in the Palace of the Four Swords, possibly created from Four Swords Link. Eventually he figures out how to free them and they're basically his BFFs. Technically he has shadows in OoA, but ehhhh they don't really fight, they're just weird obstacles, so I'm going to say they're not actually his shadow.
