A song title for your follower celebration!

Perform This Way

Written for my 200 follower challenge. Send me a song prompt. I should have stated in the beginning, the song can be instrumental. Those are inspiring, too

Thank you @drsteggy for this fun song Perform This Way by Weird Al

This was truly a challenge, because Weird Al! So, I'm afraid you got a modern au set in a place I call Medieval Faire. But, I think you will appreciate it since you love cosplay!! Enjoy!

Excerpt:

Link had been certain when he’d filled out the application he’d listed he was a trained equestrian, held a green belt (almost brown) in martial arts, and was a proficient swordsman. 

Well, he was an A-rated fencer, and had been the All-Region Champion two years and running. He was planning on taking it home for the third and final time at the end of his senior year at Castle Town High. 

So, when he arrived for his first day of rehearsal he was somewhat taken aback by the costume he now held in his hands.

Linktober Shadow day 31 free choice

A Legend of Zelda 1986 Nes game fanfiction for @linktober event Linktober Shadow 31 free choice and I choose mask.

Link is a bit nervous of taking part in a ball with the red hair Princess Zelda a few years after his battle with Ganon and saving the kingdom with him wearing a wolf mask while Zelda is wearing owl mask.

Some Link/zelda doodles

[uncharted-constellations]

I am aware I said i wasnt gonna post my zelda 2.0 redesigns until i finished them all, but considering these have been sitting for nearly a year at this point (and may have been mucked by the new game coming out soon but who knows) I figured I might as well start sharing them.

But yes Links are included this round, some have funny pages, I promise i’m using the magazine/game manual pink dress zelda, just probably not where you’re thinking

Happy 38th ! ✨

✨️ The Hero of Hyrule and the Princess of Legend ✨️

I made some quick matching artwork for the two of them just for the fun of it. :)

I started a really large doodle page of Classic Zelda, so the brainrot came back. As always, there's inspiration from concept art, in-game items, and old manga. If you want to use these as profile pictures, just be sure to leave credit to me in your bio! 💙

Linktober Day 16: Time - Link and Zelda across time (literally)

There were so many things I could have gone for, but I decided to go with a more literal approach to the word time.

Link and Zelda then and now - From the first game to the most recent.

THE LITTLE LEGENDS

This is a blog for sharing and spreading love for the smaller Zelda games in the fandom!

For everyone crying over Spirit Tracks being forgotten, to people who wish someone else remembered the struggle to find a fourth player for Four Swords or sobbing at the end of online co-op for Tri Force Heroes – this is a home to join others in that love. Mainline and third-party Zelda games are all included!

The criteria for which Zelda games count as “small” is hard to quantify. To make things easier, we went by the numbers posted to Archive of Our Own, which has the option to disambiguate which game you’re writing for and is the current best-known fanfiction site. From there, we removed some things to try and narrow it down to core game fics and picked everything that was under 1000 works.

The resulting list of Zelda games is as follows:

CDI games = 14

Zelda cartoon = 29

Cadence of Hyrule = 50

Tri Force Heroes = 51

Oracle of Seasons = 76

Oracle of Ages = 85

Zelda II: Adventure of Link = 93

Zelda (1986) = 180

Spirit Tracks = 183

Phantom Hourglass = 191

Link’s Awakening = 256

Link to the Past = 260

Minish Cap = 290

Four Swords = 359

Four Swords Adventures = 423

A Link Between Worlds = 587

Wind Waker = 739

Some of this will be a case of poor tagging, and things winding up in the wrong place. (eg. Four Swords has 1200 entries, but upon removing all Four Swords Adventures or Manga story tags it reduces to 359.) Others may not be here at all because nobody has posted it under it’s own name vs a related game or “& Related Fandoms.”

While this means these numbers are not absolute, they still represent the problem: it’s hard to find content for your favourite games if it's in the list above, and we want to fix that!

WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL?

The event we’re planning is very chill, very low-stakes way of building up interest and knowledge, and then collecting and sharing fanworks produced.

The event month will be AUGUST, 2024.

Every few days in August we’ll make a post for each game on the list (and any bonus games that were highlighted alongside the main ones), which people can reblog with a link to the fanwork they created! You can also make your own posts and tag the blog plus the game of the day but we cannot promise to see and reblog everything.

In the lead-up to August, we will be doing round-up posts for each of the above games.

Some will be doubled up and treated as “bonuses” due to their small pool of fans (CDI, the Cartoon), and if there are some we don’t know about we may take them on as suggestions!

Each of these initial game posts will include basic stats about the game: when they were released, on what hardware, where you can find them now, and what their story was. It will also include links to a walkthrough or two, for those without access to the necessary hardware.

The purpose of these posts is to be shared!

Reblog them with your favourite artwork, current fanworks you love and adore, your favourite AU they’re featured in! Share the lore you wish everyone knew, and the characters who get forgotten!

Share prompts you’ve never gotten around to using, or ones you don’t feel competent to handle!

Do not feel bad about doing this! Every exchange or event I’ve been in, people desperately wanted prompts and ideas to spark their own imagination!

The goal is for people to learn more about games that they may have never heard of before, or not had the time or ability to engage with in full on their own. And from there we can push up those numbers on AO3 for everyone to enjoy!

The scheduled games to be “main” features of this event, and their respective introductory dates, are as follows:

May 5th = Minish Cap

May 12th = Zelda II: AoL

May 19th = Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons

May 26th = Cadence of Hyrule

June 2nd = Phantom Hourglass

June 9th = Four Swords Adventures / Four Swords [Game]

June 16th = Link’s Awakening

June 23rd = Zelda (1986)

June 30th = Link to the Past

July 7th = Tri Force Heroes

July 14th = Spirit Tracks

July 21st = Link Between Worlds

July 28th = Wind Waker

Exact dates for the posting schedule of new fanworks in August will be released soon!

All of Zeldas early designs, from the "classic" era's various interpretations of the character, are outfits she owns across different points in life. Her earliest concept art features clothes from her childhood (LoZ 1986/7) and her more polished art and certain manga appearances are what she wears as a young adult (AoL). One month left until we can dress up with EoW Zelda! ^^
