I know people like to give Hylia designs a lot of eyes because Christianity™️
But consider instead: Mouths
her statue has only a smile visible
her whole thing is about hearing her voice
Godess Harp + Music
Zelda tends to be capable of telepathic speak in some form
the two games where Links connection to Zelda is important to the plot both put an emphasis on her smiling
her big statues in Skyward Sword straight up mechanically sing
and also: Eyes are Ganon's thing (and by extension Demise)
Also the juxtaposition between the "classic Christian divinity" symbol of eyes on Demise/Ganon and the "classic eldritch being" symbol of mouths on Hylia would be pretty neat
#legend of zelda#the legend of zelda#hylia#also she's based on Amaterasu not Jesus#and idk about everyone else#but the ^christianity with a paint coat^ type of fantasy divinity is lowkey tiring to see#you can do Literally Anything#why not something new#if there's a standin divinity for Courage#that could be Hands methinks#Link being left handed usually#sword has no strengh unless the hand that holds it has courage#the master sword burning unworthy hands#Tears going ham with the hand imagry#though hands could also be seen as the ^overarching^ symbol of all three#because triforce#3 godesses creating the world#and also 3 wise monkeys all using hands to symbolize their thing#which would make give Courage...mind symbolism?#not sure how that'd work tho
