I'm sure everyone realizes the significance of the upgrade materials for the Champion's Leathers:

Yup, it's imbued with protection from the Light Dragon (plus Silent Princesses), a.k.a. pure distilled Zelda. But it's not just that. Take a look at the upgrade materials for the Tunic of Memories, a.k.a. the old Champion's Tunic:

They're different from its upgrade materials from BotW:

The devs didn't have to change that. But they did. They made sure to add the Light Dragon's protection into the old tunic as well. BUT it's not as "pure" as the materials for the Champion's Leathers, still requiring parts from the other three dragons. Why? Because Zelda made it back when she hadn't opened her heart to Link yet. Whereas the new tunic was made with her full affection for him poured into it. Why else would they have done that? Why else would they have done that!?

perhaps a hot take for the Zelda community but I HATED the Champion's tunic in botw. Like the color just screamed 2006 tween bedroom to me and I was DISMAYED when I learned I couldn't dye it.
the totk Champion's tunic though? lovely. how does the addition of a spaulder change everything? add the black turtleneck underneath and we're cooking with GAS. he's got the thick gucci belt. we love it.

It is so weird that Link has two iconic swords, two iconic shields, two iconic outfits, several iconic miscellaneous tools, and ZERO iconic bows. It is more immediately recognizable to show a picture of a hookshot/clawshot (any design) than it is to show literally any of Link's bows throughout the series. The closest is the Bow of Light, but that's more associated with Zelda than Link.

some of my botw cosplay. both outfits were 100% hand embroidered and made with "historically accurate" fabrics. link's tunic is linen, and zelda's coat is 100% pure wool, shearling, and hand tooled leather for the belt. bro didn't wanna wear a wig for link :V

so the champion’s tunic doesn’t let you see monsters’ HP anymore? or does that happen at higher upgrades now?

Alternate Totk headcanon: Puppet Zelda won and and broke Link. He got entirely consumed by hatred and despair and is beyond saving now. No hope, no heart, unredeemable. Link is Puppet Zelda's corrupted knight. He is Dark Link.

The garment, worn by those in good standing with Hyrule royalty, has been reworked with the latest improvements, such as a new shoulder guard.
#I miss my wife tails. I miss her a lot. I’ll be back#I love the champions leathers design but the story behind it is so sweet too like. she wanted to thank him so she went and#got some improvements added to it?? and she wanted to see his face when she surprises him with it hello?????#I think my favourite part is the half chest just for angst. I like imagining she was very particular about the armour placements#and had a chest piece added because yknow. right over the heart might I add#originally I wanted this to be more angsty but halfway through I was like wait this would completely miss the point#in my mind the armor isn’t just ‘I don’t want you to die again’ but also ‘I want to keep you safe as best I can’#in her diary she was like links armor is wearing down so you know what? I’m gonna add more armor to better protect him!!!#and with her upbringing in mind (and the conversation she had with him about whether he would still choose to be a knight if things were#different) she could have totally asked him to stop doing it altogether. but she made the armor for him instead#sidenote she also got to be a teacher and scholar like she wanted and that is so. dont look at me I’m crying#I don’t know if ANY of this makes sense I’m just rambling. yes I wear the champions leathers every chance I get why do you ask#btw if you squint the leathers chainmail and sweater are taken from the hylian armor chestpiece! slightly modified on the tunic but cool#my art#myart#tears of the kingdom#totk#totk spoilers#totk zelda#totk link#botw spoilers#botw#breath of the wild#loz#loz fanart#comic#tw blood#blood

I would also like to see some miphlink, if that's okay!
Tumblr media
I was really struggling with what to draw, and then I remembered your ask from ages ago (dang ADHD brain...) anyway, sorry its such a late answer, but Miphlink inspired by Dicksee's La Belle Dame
#thank you so so much for the ask stars!! I had completely forgotten about it (I'm so so sorry!!) and it saved me from an artist-not-arting#you know the sort of pent up unpleasant feeling you get when you need to do something creative but its not happening and then its sad?#yeah I didn't get that because your ask suddenly popped into my head! so very happy about that :) thank you!#link is a horse girl and we need more of it in life#also to try and get the flowy fabric look that Dicksee's La Belle Dame has without putting Link in a dress I decided to modify Mipha's fins#and then added some of that gorgeous salmon colour from the original piece#also the reason the reason the champions tunic etc have that grey tinge to it is because the knight was wearing armour in the original piec#with a beautiful duckegg blue grey colour and I thought including that might be fun too!#anyway#the couple that is perfect for one another and should always be together for all time: Mipha and Link#mipha#link#botw#creativesplat draws#breath of the wild#miphlink#lipha#I really need to catch up on the miphlink tag... its so exciting to have so much wonderful art and writing to look through but I am a rathe#busy/ adhd forgetful bean so whenever I get round to reading or looking at art... there will be a long reblog/ queue of miphlink stuff!#eventually#at some point#because fashionably late (coughjustlatecough) is my middle name!#enough rambling sorry#I love drawing miphlink its like a comfort drawing thing#like her head is so squidgy and so easy to doodle so if ever my brain is bored or I want to draw and need happy hormones but can't find the#mipha is the answer because the squishy head is just sooooo good#the designers of mipha were amazing and I love them#epona#tloz#zelda

I love the theory that Zelda repaired the Champion's Tunic to propose to Link with it because if we take the idea of Link culturally viewing the gifting of armor as an engagement tradition to its logical conclusion, what did he think of the Champion's Tunic the first time around?
