Divine Gemstones by @divine-gemstones

Adventure Fantasy | General | Tumblr | Ongoing

Synopsis: Princess Zelda has been having ominous dreams of a great evil returning to her kingdom. Using the Divine Gemstones, she attempts to create her own seal on the weakening one she knows of. Her spell fails, and the magical artifacts scatter. Disaster will strike Hyrule and her allies if this great evil breaks free. Perhaps it’s time for the princess to quietly recruit some help.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The concept work for this comic is beautiful! It's so colorful and the characters all feel incredibly unique! I'm excited to see where this story goes once this comic begins. - amelias-hart

New and unique character designs for Link and Zelda are eye-catching. The gemstone hook is enticing, while also reminiscent of other Zelda’s who have tried to take matters into their own hands, only to fail and ultimately, make things worse. Looking forward to seeing this story come to life. - Mistress Lrigtar

This work is in the early stages, but oooh boy am I looking forward to more. The concept for the story sounds super interesting, and the characters so far look awesome and unique. Zelda is a self reliant Princess who tries to solve an incoming crisis on her own, as one does, but when it doesn’t work, she unfortunately finds that she’s going to need help. I love the idea of Zelda actively driving the plot, and I’m sure that the comic will quickly become a favorite of mine and if you give it a chance, dear gentle reader, yours too! - Karama9

🐠 Link Fyssch (Divinity)

“I think back to those summer nights, when you held my cheeks while I was crying. I’m still crying, but now your hands aren’t here to comfort me.”

he/him | aroace | 21yo | 5’9 (175cm)

A bright and friendly young man. Link is full of curiosity and possesses an enthusiasm matched by no other. He’s in tune with the emotions of those around him, and loyal to a fault.

Link now finds himself investigating the mysterious circumstances surrounding his mother’s disappearance. An old journal of hers has several records of ghosts and spirits, all seemingly tied to a… kalimba? He’s able to trace her steps to Hebra, where he runs into a certain panicking princess.

An Appreciation Post

With the end of the LOZ AU Gift Exchange, it's time to share how much of a gremlin we've been- I mean to share the doodles we made for the event hosts and show them some appreciation again💜

Shoutout to our inability to just, participate like normal people and settling for thanking the hosts XD

They all did amazing and the event was great! Absolutely participating again if it does end up repeating next year, but everyone will have to pretend to be surprised when we show up with several gifts too many for people we weren't supposed to make anything for lmao

Going in alphabetical order based on how we have the files named on our computer, thank you so much, and anyone else make sure to go check our their stuff and show them some appreciation too pretty please!

@monstrous-fusion 's blorbos, based on fanart ideas we had in our fanarts list for a while! Thank you guys so much for the event 💜 and I'm so glad you liked them, the shoujo effects on Engie were so much fun to make XD

For @gpow13 based on her fics Warrior's white scarf and A blacksmith, a sailor and a captain walk into a (milk) bar which were very silly and fun to read through! Gotta remember to go kudos them now that we're not being sneaky about it XD Thank you so much for the event 💜 and for using the first one as a pfp, it made us cry happy tears

For @marsnoodlesoup some doodles of characters from their Linksmeet, I love Sunflower's design so much it's incredibly pretty. Thank you so much for the event and so glad you liked our doodle of your girls! 💜

The first one's @twist-dg 's Divinity from her AU divine gemstones and the second one's her little persona (I don't know what she expected us to do when we asked for it but I'm glad she liked it! XD) sitting very innocently because she was very innocent too.

Thank you so much for the event 💜 and for accidentally giving us the idea to make even more doodles, since the hosts were getting presents every day except the very last one... until we fixed it! >:)

thank you to @twist-dg for this collab! Sapphire, Ruby, and Divinity are her characters (blue dress, green dress, and happy starfish man respectively) from her au Divine Gemstones (@divine-gemstones). Zelda, Link, and Ganon are my characters (overalls, braid, and curls respectively) from my au Shadows of the Triforce. we each drew and shaded our respective guys, and I drew the explosion while twist drew the background and the cookies, as well as ultimately putting all our little guys together on the same screen

This was inspired by a draw the squad template from @riddscorner from this post

Fic Recs - Expanding Hyrule Bingo!

If you're looking for some hot fresh recs that you may not have seen before, boy do I have the post for you!

For the last few days, I have been compiling answers for the @expanding-hyrule TBR Bingo Community Challenge! If this is the first time you're hearing of it, EH is a LoZ fandom project that intends to popularize a tag and create an archive for Original Legends, or LoZ fics, art, etc that create their own version of Hyrule, characters therein, and plot different from the canon games. The Bingo Challenge is a project to get people viewing and talking about more of these stories!

Of course, as a chronic overachiever when it comes to fandom, I got blackout on my bingo card. And because several of the works I counted aren't yet in the Expanding Hyrule Fic Archive, I felt this would be the perfect way to get the word out about even more cool works!

If it has a * asterisk, I had already read or been reading it prior to the announcement of the challenge. If two ** asterisks, I had already read or been reading it prior to discovering EH!

Good luck!

Hiya everyone! I’m utterly insane, so I decided to make a comic for my LOZ OCs, Divinity and Sapphire.

Everything related to those two will now be on this blog!

I’m not exactly sure if there’s going to be a schedule or anything, since I haven’t exactly planned everything out quite yet. Anyway, feel free to come along for the ride if you like my OCs!

[nocturne-side-blog]

Expanding Hyrule Bingo! - My finished card! ( @expanding-hyrule )

The empty card:

A1 - Recommended by a Friend

Chained Truth by @mirensiart. I know this is sort of a given since it's a really popular one, but I was shown this one by a Discord friend a while back as well! It's got fun dynamics and designs. ^^

A2 - A Genre I Don't Usually Read

A Link to the Stars by @coffebits and @abbyzwrites. Another popular one! I don't read sci fi AUs of fantasy stories very often, but the art and designs are wonderful! (And Abby's writing style is charming as always)!

A3 - Caught Up on Work

Divine Gemstones by @twist-dg has wonderful art so far and a really neat premise! And I always have a soft spot for Zelda-centric stories! Give the girl some love! (Also, the Hylia design in this AU is GORGEOUS)! I made sure to follow so I can keep up with it as it releases. :)

A4 - An Incomplete Project

Alternate Triforce by @doomed-era has a wonderful art style and such fun designs! I had quite a few other boxes it could check on top of this one, but that'd be cheating. It's got a really neat concept and an ongoing comic on top of that! I'll always have a deep respect for those who can keep up a comic, it's so much work.

A5 - I Made an Original Legends Work!

I've made a few Original Legends, but I only have one that's posted and "completed" (although I have bonus stuff in the works right now)! The Princess's Heart by @loz-untold-myths is an in-universe fairytale I made for Zelink Week 2024. It follows a love story between Link and Zelda amidst the rise of a calamity!

B3 - Picked Because of the Synopsis

Remnants of the Past by @justapixelthing is one I've been following for a while too! I always love AUs where Link stays in OoT's adult timeline, especially when it's expanded to the incarnations of Zelda and Link after!

C1 - A Familiar Creator

Captain Link Araki and the Harbinger of Destiny by @mistresslrigtar. From what I've seen of it thus far, this story is full of fun character interactions and you can really see the development as the story progresses! ^^

C3 - TBR

C4 - By a Mutual or Someone You'd Like to be a Mutual

Sea of Prophecy

All That Hurts Us

Divine Gemstones

Remnants of the Past

Captain Link Araki and the Harbinger of Destiny

Void's Grasp

A Link to the Stars

Chained Truth

The Golden Chain by @zeldadiarist has lovely art (a lot of traditional art which is really well done) and gorgeous designs! I always love brunette Zelda, and I love seeing ideas for a hero from the Gerudo tribe!

D3 - A Fic

All That Hurts Us by @karama9 has very endearing characters and worldbuilding! It's very extensive, and you can tell just how much work went into it. :)

E3 - A New Creator

Void's Grasp by @the--voided is a very compelling story with a very established mood/essence to it. If you like more grim worlds, this is the one for you!

E5 - Left a Review in EH's Spotlights

Sea of Prophecy by @cherrysalsa is the one I've been following the longest! It has an interesting take on a modern setting and a fun cast of characters. ^^ I'm really excited to see where it goes!!

I highly recommend these fics! The archive is full of amazing work. :)

[mistresslrigtar]

Challenge List - completed

Letters are rows, numbers are columns, reading left to right

A1 - Recommended by a friend - The Golden Chain by @zeldadiarist - I've seen the concept art and this looks and sounds like something I would really like!

A3 - Caught up on a work - Uneasy Lies the Chosen of Farore by @drsteggy This is one of my current favorites and I look forward to the updates! It features a middle-aged Link and Zelda who are just now having to take on their roles as the Hero and Princess.

A4 - An incomplete project - Void's Grasp by @the--voided Great beginning that puts you right into the middle of a frantic race to escape. I haven't been able to read further, but I look forward to seeing where this story goes

A5 - I made an Original Legends work! - Captain Link Araki and the Harbinger of Destiny by me @mistresslrigtar - join a sassy Zelda with agency and a down-on-his-luck pirate, Link on a swashbuckling romp across the Great Sea.

B1 - Updated this year - Cycle of the Stars by @daeyumi - Gorgeous artwork accompanies this story

B4 - A comic - Divine Gemstones by @twist-dg New and unique designs and characterizations for Link and Zelda. Looking forward to this comic

B5 - Subscribed to an ongoing work - On My Honor by @pelicanpig - Features a teenaged Link who takes on the role of older brother/protector for Zelda. She's discovering her power and he struggles with his calling. Each chapter ratchets up the angst.

C1 - A familiar creator - A Link to the Stars by @abbyzwrites with art by the phenomenal @coffebits Set far in the future of Legend of Zelda lore. Link is a general in the Hyrulean Army, Ganondorf is his best friend and second in command, and Zelda is a brunette princess. Think Star Wars meets Starship Troopers but starring our favorite LoZ characters. The latest chapter has some tooth-achingly sweet fluff mixed in with the angst. Love Coffeebits character designs and Abby’s writing.

C3 - Show Us Your EH TBR

Break the Wheel by @randombutloved, Guarding Zelda by @railtracer30, All That Hurts by @karama9, Too Old to Keep by @ladyhoneydee

C4 - By a mutual or someone I'd like to be a mutual - In the Blood by @zeldaseyebrows Zombies? In Hyrule? One I’m saving to read for Halloween!

D1 - A new favorite - Hero by @karama9 This is one I probably wouldn't have read, but I'm glad I did! It's set in a dystopian Hyrule, with fresh and unusual characterizations for Link and Zelda, that I loved. Link is so timid, he's afraid of his own shadow and Zelda is just a girl who has to push him into accepting his role. They work together as a team to save Hyrule from Ganon. I highly recommend it. I will warn there is one chapter that features graphic material that may be disturbing to some. (but having read this story fully, as a reader it can be easily skipped.)

D4 - A genre I love - The Promise by @zeldaelmo Bridgerton meets LoZ in this one. Regency characterizations of Link and Zelda that I adore. Link is as awkward and sweet as we expect him to be, and Zelda is as witty and intelligent as always. Zelmo just posted a deliciously spicy NSFW chapter for those of us who like that sort of thing 😅😂

D5 - Picked because of the title - Princess Link: Engaged to my sister's kidnapper??? by @sparkspsps I can't wait to dive into this one. A role swap and from the title and summary it sounds funny and something I'd really like.

E1 - A complete project - Goddess of Secrecy by @amelias-hart I've really enjoyed following Link and his main companion, Endeavor on their journey across Hyrule. It's a co-op story, and Link receives plenty of help along the way so he doesn't have to face anything alone. Vast worldbuilding and lots of new and quirky characters really bring this story to life.

E4 - Less than 1000 hits or 100 notes - The Princess's Heart by @nocturnalfandomartist I followed along with this story Noct wrote for Zelink Week last year. Each chapter opens with a portion of a fairytale that is passed from generation to generation - then jumps into the narrative that follows Link and Zelda on their latest adventure.

E5 - Left a review in EH's Story Spotlights - The Mage's Lantern by @nocturnalfandomartist - another by Noct that I've only just begun reading, but am enjoying so far! Hyrule is buried beneath snow caused by a storm called The Silver Tempest (cool name). Beautiful art accompanies each chapter.

[roseofithaca]

Just something interesting about the differences between TOTK Ganondorf stealing the gemstone and OOT Ganonforf stealing the triforce, because people have been saying it's the same thing just in a different shape...

Except what's interesting about the Triforce is that Ganondorf doesn't "steal" it, exactly, he earns it. Because lets face it the Three Goddesses are kinda amoral, they grant gifts to those they deem worthy but not out of a desire to "save" Hyrule. Ganondorf gets the Triforce of Power because Din chooses him by how far he goes to acheive it, while Nayru chooses Zelda and Farore chooses Link. But the goddesses won't stop the other pieces from being "taken" if one goes as far to reunite them and gain all three, as what happens in Wind Waker. All three timelines of this Ganondorf keep their Triforce, even after having been defeated or sealed. It's only lost either when Din chooses to take it back, possibly because she doesn't deem Ganondorf worthy anymore, in Twilight Princess, or Link is able to take it like in A Link to the Past or the first Zelda (how Ganondorf got it back between those Idk, I can't deal with the timeline anymore).

Anyway, compare that Sonia's stone which he takes after murdering her, while it does greatly empower him, it's not something that's been divinely gifted like the Triforce. It's actually rather fragile in comparison. The Triforce embeds itself in your soul, as it were, hence why even when the sages tried to execute him in TP the power was still gifted to him by Din to escape. The gemstone however can be shattered by a weapon or just handed at random to any person who touches it. It's much more your typical fantasy mcguffen where it's like "finders keepers". The goddesses no longer play a part in what seemed to be a long game.

In fact there doesn't seem to be any reference to the three goddesses in these new games, only Hylia. And yet we also know these are supposed to take place at the end of the timeline, so far after all the other games.

The only signs of the Triforce we see are on some markings, including the Zonai clothes. So my theory is the Zonai were able to harness the magic of the Triforce and the old gods into their technology, but the goddesses don't really care about those. Part of me suspects the goddesses stopped caring about Hyrule much after Wind Waker, as Ganondorf says they abandoned them (still the creepiest moment from him, ngl).

"But Rauru was the first King of Hyrule!" Uh, yeah...I don't buy that. Not because I think Skyward Link and Zelda founded Hyrule, that's never said, they could have just lived in a small settlement down on the land, nothing big enough to be a kingdom. But also I just feel like it's the Zonai trying to rewrite history in their favour.

For example, if you were to ask someone in England who our first King was, most folk would say William the Conqueror. And this is what most of us were taught in school and that prior to him we were just warring minor kingdoms and at some point the Romans turned up for a bit. But anyone who's watched the Last Kingdom knows it was Alfred the Great who was first called "King of the Anglo Saxons" as opposed to the areas under Scandinavian rule, so some credit him with being the first "King of the English" to some degree, but it was his grandson Aethelstan who would rule over all the land that would become England - and this is all about a century before Will One comes anywhere near the country. But then he takes over and claims those old kings didn't count, he wipes the slate clean despite the land he's King of having existed for centuries, and I suspect Rauru did similar. Don't get me wrong, I think Rauru is a good guy, but Ganondorf rightly calls him out for his arrogance and being a conquerer, and I think a huge part of Ganondorf launching his attacks was a fear of having the Gerudo, his people, submit to another King like the other races did.

Another point to add is that Ganondorf comments about Rauru marrying a "Hyrulean" woman, implying the land was known as Hyrule before Rauru took power. We know he also got the other races to bow to him as well. We don't know what this Hyrule was before Rauru, maybe a scatter of settlements like early England or maybe it was the newly formed land Link and Tetra find after Wind Waker, who knows. This is why I think even the events we are shown in the tears are events still happening at the end of the timeline and the next 10,000 years are all part of this new era unique to these new open world games, as opposed to a reiminagining of the events of Ocarina of Time. Because for me there's too many differences for them to be the same event, the lack of the Triforce being the main one. This is instead more of Hyrule repeating the events Demise cursed upon them back at the beginning of it all. Or it could be his curse coming to full fruition after tens of thousands of years, as Ganondorf physically resembles him by the end more than ever before. In short, this Ganondorf is not the same as in OOT, TP or Wind Waker.

I'm curious to see if the Triforce will ever make a real return in the series, but I also feel like Nintendo are enjoying not feeling obliged to use it in every Zelda (lets be honest it was a little forced and underwritten in SS).

[ladybuvelle]

The Jeweled Protectors are winged carnivores of Runeterra with a mix of tiger and lion features. Protectors are born wingless and without manes until a certain age when they grow their manes while their wings grow out from their backs. Their other noticeable features are their two tails and gems embedded along their spines and forehead that glow with a mysterious power. 

- Source (Pretty much a summary of their snippet of “lore”)

// Mostly for my own reference but I thought it worth sharing; the physical differences in “growth” between Level 1 and Level 2/3 Jeweled Protectors. (The only difference with tier 3 is particle effects and glow, the models are the same.)

As you can see the changes are quite different! The jewels increase in size and number, which makes sense, and there’s also hair/mane growth and thickness. But then there’s the wings, seemingly growing out of nowhere. The ear shape also changes to become more pointed. Facial and overall body structure remains the same. Poor thing doesn’t even get longer legs.

I’m guessing the golden adornments are man-made. Most tier 1 variants don’t have any adornments, but the Shadowgem Protector starts out with a collar and tail clamps and later gains wing armor.

(A few others have bits here and there as well, but I found Shadowgem’s to be most significant.)

As for their wings, I’m wondering if they’d even actually be capable of flight when fully grown. Given the gems growing on them their bodies might be too heavy to lift off... Then again, the gems have a “mysterious power”, so maybe they’re lighter than they appear? Or allow Protectors to fly via magic? Hard to say, but I would be inclined to think they’re more suited to gliding than true flight. Maybe in order to hunt they climb up to higher places and then leap off and glide down onto unsuspecting prey?
