#Sheik talks

[herbleol]

I've wanted to draw Termina designs for Sheik, Impa & Ganondorf ever since I heard about them being scrapped fishing hole characters.

Impa owns the place, Sheik works there, and Ganondorf just hangs out there with his massive dad energy and metal crocs.

the idea of playable zelda in itself is really cool, but then i think of how her 'type' of character typically gets animated/sounds/treated and i just shrivel up inside

the only way id accept if it was like fromsofts way of doing it, which is there is literally little to no difference no matter who you play as, but we all know nintendo would never lol

[kagoutiss]

so ive been thinking about an AU loosely based on the whole ‘sheik was a double agent also working for ganondorf’ thing in the oot manga and. basically here is a bunch of stuff so tonally different that it gives u whiplash

Sheik sometimes overcompensates in their attempts to dissuade others from discovering their true identity (Princess Zelda). Although they manage to keep note of every lie they string together in regards to their true self (enough to keep things consistent), some things they came up with when they were younger were... convoluted, at best. Impa was the one to come up with the rather on-the-nose name "Sheik," as it was a popular name for young boys in ancient times of the tribe, and she ended up suggesting they just stick to memories of their time training with Impa. This was slightly reassuring to Sheik, at least, because they were beginning to feel lonesome in the fact they could never share memories of their own again. It was a relief to be able to feel at least a little like their own person again.

I feel like even in trans positive spaces trans men are seen as less authentic than trans women, because we supposedly have something to gain by transitioning or wanting to be men. (social power.) It's reflective of how we look at historical people that by today's standards we would see as trans men (Joan of Arc) or fictional characters that live as men while secretly being women. (Naoto from Persona, Sheik from Zelda.) And this is going to be an uphill battle until we get rid of gender essentialism in our spaces completely.

ok i did the thing

>:D enjoy!

[justapixelthing]

I just imagine oot Zelink as married couple and someone goes up to Zelda and is like "I saw your husband kiss a man!" and Zelda is all shocked and calls Link to the scene who of course denies that.

When Zelda asks for details she realizes something.

She had snuck out of the castle as Sheik to spend some freetime with Link.

Someone had seen them.

Zelda was the man Link was supposedly cheating with.

Link had cheated on his wife with... his wife.

And the both still laugh about it years later.

LOU'S 200 DTIYS!!

So, recently I got 200 followers, and after thinking about it a bit I figured I wanted to do a dtiys. And I was planning on including just the lineart as part of it so that anyone who was interested could participate with that, but after I was done with the lineart I so profoundly did not feel like coloring it that I chose not to.

If you want to draw your own rendition of this piece, go ahead! If you just want to color it, do that! If you're a writer or some other kind of creator that wants to do it in some other kind of way, go for it! All I ask is that you tag me so that I can see it.

This is just for fun, no prizes, no deadlines, do it whenever you want!

[waroferas]

i hope i am just the hyrule warriors mutual to you .

[rawliverandgoronspice]

Biggest pity in MM was that they never went through with including fisherfolk Ganondorf, Sheikh/Zelda and Impa.

YES that would have been so funny and/or so unsettling depending on how they would have went with it (and knowing Majora's Mask, it could have easily been both).

Could you imagine their reactions on the night of the Final Day, as the moon slowly collapses and they have to face their own demise? I am just sooo curious about what their interpretation would have been like here, all three of them. Would it go in complete opposites of what their OoT characters would have done, or would it parallel hidden aspects we never get another chance to see???

I mean. It's all speculation. But. Can you imagine.

Hi Nell0 how are you? I’m find and thanks for all that useful information for my broken foot! Healing has been ok but it’s hard to be patient for it to heal especially when it’s already hot where I am and I use my pool to swim in it because of my ✨injury✨! Overall patience is virtue they say. Also how that LOZ comic coming along? Reading it while confined would be nice. Ok I’m heading on now but before I go which Zelda is your favorite? I’m torn between WindWaker Tetra and Wild/Tears Zelda! Both badbutt in their own ways! Thx. ♥️

Hello again anon! I hope everything goes well with your foot. I know it seems slow but better slow going and nicely done than rushing and badly healed.

The comic is going okay! I haven't been able to draw much this week bc of work and there was some conferences I needed to attend this weekend (10 hours of my weekend gone, oof) but I'm looking forward to the result when I'm done drawing at least the first part! It would be way faster if I didn't color it but well, I wanted to, so...

Tetra is such a good character, way different than other Zeldas in the franchise. Botw/totk Zelda has the benefit of being a complex character with a good story arc, the way she changes from her experiences. This is honestly difficult to answer bc I like botw/totk Zelda a lot, but if I had to choose one?

Spirit Tracks Zelda. Her chaotic energy is unparalleled in my eyes.

how do i explain to everyone that my josha comic is abt my au and not fully connected to totk? 👉👈

[pocketramblr]

AU where Ganon surprise adopts toon Link the first time they face each other.

1- Link tells Tetra to free the girls while he focuses on Ganon and the Helmaroc King to keep them from being seen. But as he's fighting, the bird isn't really trying to hurt him- just grab him, which is admittedly difficult with the kid swinging the Master Sword at it, but eventually it manages and takes Link up.

2- Upon being deposited in the broken ship atop the fortress, Link quickly learns that the Master Sword will not bring down Ganondorf- who corrects him on the name- and doesn't even seem to touch him. Instead of explaining why, Ganondorf sits down and pats the floor, and begins using one of his secret skills: lying. Ganondorf is like "look, boy, I don't know who told you that old sword would kill me, or how you even found it, but they were using you. Was it those pirates? You should stop trusting people who shoot you out of cannons." Link is offended on the King of Red Lions and Tetra's behalfs, and his reaction tells Ganondorf enough.

3- "Ah, well, I suppose I can respect that. You know, long ago my people kept a fortress not in a sea, but a desert. Some hylians, fleeing the civil war or their kings' cruelty, would make it though the desert. Those who could survive that were granted protection, and those who could break into our fort were welcomed as warriors into our tribe. Not the first time they did, but if they continued trying after that first failure." Link is like "uh huh" and only half paying attention because he's trying to figure out if Tetra got all the girls out before he books it himself.

4- he does start paying attention when Ganondorf then says, "Welcome to the Gerudo tribe, vevko." At Link's confusion, Ganondorf just asks "Well, as the newest son of the Gerudo, who else could be your parent but me?" Link then has many protests, some about his grandmother but most about his sister, and Ganondorf nods. "I will let you decide then, if you agree to stay. Will your sister stay here with us, or would you send her away?" Link just wants Aryll safe at home, so Ganondorf nods and the Helmaroc King goes to frighten Tetra and Aryll to the ship, as the younger girl was trying to run to her brother instead of following the pirate. Ganondorf says it's very wise of Link, sending Aryll away means she can return to be welcomed into the tribe as well, as a warrior sister. Link does not want his little sister in danger or fighting at all, and Ganondorf recommends he get over that, because as much as he once felt the same about his kinswomen, reality demands more. The Ganondorf claps him on the shoulder and orders a few monsters to start helping prepare a proper child's room, discussing how they're going to get to get Link into some proper clothes, and eat some real food, because he can't imagine a child ate all that well on his own. Link protests that he's of age, and wears the hero clothes as custom. Ganondorf is like "hmm yeah no twelve is not adulthood, let's go vevko." and ignores Link's five attempts to attack him as he figures out a room situation for the kid.

5- Ganondorf's motivations are not as pure as he claims, as always. He does feel some gratitude for Link drawing the Master Sword and unsealing his full power, while also being sure the boy himself isn't a threat as the Sword didn't have the power it did in the hands of a true hero. Keeping the boy and the sword here might draw the Princess and the Real hero out, however, allowing him to collect the Triforce. Especially since the "collect children" plan didn't work, so the current daughter of the royal family might be an adult and harder to narrow down. Also, the kid genuinely impressed him with his breaking and entering skills and doing all of that for his little sister, so it's not like it's babysitting some crying brat all day. The Ritos', Valoo's, and pirates' attempts to get him away or hurt so they can grab Link also make Ganondorf dig his stubborn heels in: this crazy kid is his vevko now, if they wanted him they should have done better with the sword situation.
