LINKTOBER DAY 6! Lookout Landing

Purah’s having a no good month. Her research interns dig up some great spooky evil, her sister’s nagging her about said interns disappearing post great spooky evil, and to add insult to injury she’s self imposing herself to keep an Eye Out on Great Spooky Evil.

On that note, zelda and link survived the depths for two weeks eating nothing but bananas filched from yiga scouts, deep fireflies, and the stray frog thing that isn’t too infected by malice. (They followed several lights and were VERY pleasantly surprised to see robbie poking around.)

All my zelda stuff here!

And my patreon here’

Hey guys, sorry for disappearing for like a week. School's starting soon and I've been busy. Anyway, here's the biggest piece I've ever made so far, feat. TotK Link and a blood moon!! (tap for better quality cause Tumblr crunches images)

A well deserved rest (also yes link is almost always the little spoon)

as soon as i saw @carrotsnake’s post (go like it!!), i had to draw this as fast as i could ❤️

[ID: a rough 2-panel comic of tears of the kingdom link on his hands and knees, crying into the ground. link wears his archaic tunic and his hair falls over his face. in panel 1, link sobs, “no one knows who i am or what i did for hyrule. i feel so invisible.” a yiga clan blademaster stands next to him quietly, practically looming. the yiga is so big that only their legs fit in the panel. in panel 2, link remains unchanged and in the same pose. the yiga clan blademaster is now squatting down but is still so big that their face still doesn't fit in the panel. the yiga is gently placing a crudely drawn sketch of link as a cartoonish devil on his back. the yiga says, “hey. don’t cry. 100 haters hunting you for sport ok?” end ID]

FINE. beasts your princess (an old wip >:)

beauty and the beast au where zelda is a beast that haunts an old castle in the woods, which is rumored to be guarded by a beast. Link finds the castle when searching for his sister that gets lost in the woods

he finds his sister in the dungeon of a ruined castle, and finds Beast!Zelda there and takes his sisters place as a prisoner so that she can go free, and is left to live at the castle, but what on earth is that sword in the forbidden western grove? and why wont the beast let him near it?

Notes under cut

big shout out to @newtsnaturethings who does amazing nature studies and inadvertently helped me make stone look kinda like stone.

@manxden posted a nice summary of the battery theory. It is one of my favorite theories out there. The idea Ganondorf is the source of the power that saves Link, the hero meant to destroy him. Poetic cinema. I made a rambly post back in September that inspired this piece. You can read the full chaos here but in summary:

LONG AGO ganondorf is sealed and everyone thinks problem-solved but THEN they realize how much spirit/life energy he emits and the Royal Family orders the Sheikah to expand tech around it. What they don't anticipate is battery acid - malice. Monsters start appearing but they have the tech and just wipe them out without looking for the source. The more they use the spirit energy, the more malice is created in the sealing chamber. THIS is where get the events of 10,000 years ago. First Calamity Ganon appears...they go back to the old equation (goddess blood princess plus hero) WITH tech/Divine Beasts and beat back the Calamity. Again, this doesn't fix the problem. The Royal Family decides to banish "Sheikah" tech and like a nuclear plant meltdown, they just bury everything and hope that fixes it.

Because spirit energy is not being used during this time, Malice builds much slower. Takes 10,000 years for another Calamity to form but he's smarter this time because at his core he is a PERSON in stasis who remembers everything that was done to him.

BOTW happens.

The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of Calamity Ganon

I love this line and hope it’s expanded upon in TotK.

I was replaying Legend of Zelda TOTK and saw an artwork by Uzucake over on Twitter(X) and decided I wanted to draw Link as a Zonai as well. It was very fun and I’m overall very happy with the way it turned out.
