This started out as some water practice, but then I felt like including Marin. :) Not only that, but this art style is one I've been experimenting with for my comic! Click "read more" for some variations.

Program Used: Ibis Paint

Time Elapsed: 2 hours, 19 minutes

Linktober Day 27: Rest/Respite "Link, are you listening to me?"

One of the things I love most about the Legend of Zelda series is its commitment to false advertising and blindsiding the player with unexpected dark elements.

Ocarina of Time: This is a cheerful and colorful adventure game about time travel and magical songs. *casually jumpscares u with ReDeads in the Kakariko Graveyard and makes u traverse a literal torture dungeon at one point*

Majora's Mask: This is another cheerful and colorful adventure game about saving a cute village from the impending apocalypse and OH MY GOODNESS THE HORRORS, THE EXISTENTIAL HORRORS.

Link's Awakening: This is a cute and quirky game about a mystical island filled with talking animals and lovable townsfolk. Please pay no attention to the fact that this game has the most tragic ending in the entire series. :)

Skyward Sword: A bright and whimsical game that explains the origins of the series' staple characters. Absolutely delightful in every way, just as long as you ignore the sadistic demon lord who takes delight in tormenting Link, and also the sheer. fricking. terror of the Silent Realm challenges.

Bonus:

Twilight Princess: This is a dark and edgy game for all you Zelda adults out there. Link is a himbo farm boy who has never done anything wrong in his entire life and he gets turned into the sweetest big ol' pupper you've ever seen. Also there's a village filled with cats that you can snuggle. Very scary, not for little kids.

Something crazy I realized about Tails in Sonic Adventure 1

I'm replaying SA1 right now (on a Dreamcast emulator, because f*** those buggy-as-heck re-releases, am I right?). I'm jumping from one character to another (while always staying on one savefile) to play through every event of the story in order...

And as far as I saw, Tails is the only playable character who gets one of his upgrades during a dream.

He grabs Froggy (and the red Chaos Emerald with it) at the end of Sand Hill, sees Tikal's hitodama floating around him, the dream/flashback in the Knuckles Clan's ancient walled city starts... and when he wakes up from that dream, he's got the Rhythm Badge on his chest out of nowhere and is suddenly able to lethally slice everything around him non-stop with reckless abandon.

Yep, he straight-up dreamed the Rhythm Badge up and materialized it outside of the dream.

Just consider the in-universe implications:

Sonic: "Hey Tails, that's a cool amulet! Where'd you get it?" Tails: [with Dr Light's English voice from Mega Man 8] "That's a good question."

I'm also trying to think of some other videogame, TV series, movie or comic that had done something like this, but I can't come up with anything. I've seen a few people suggesting a few examples, though: one power-up in a Castlevania game, Psychonauts, The Legend of Vox Machina, the seagull appearing at the end of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (it's implied the seagull is a real-life incarnation of Marin created by the Wind Fish), the Klonoa series' entire universe...

Someone else mentioned the possibility of Tikal granting the badge to Tails through the dream. If that's true, then she's one hell of a powerful spirit. Basically, "Tikal OP, plz nerf".

Another possibility I've considered is that, perhaps, those flashbacks are not dreams and Tikal's spirit has the power to literally send the characters back in time so they can witness what happened to the Knuckles Clan and where Chaos comes from. Super-powerful ghost Tikal headcanons aside, it'd also imply Tails retrieved the Rhythm Badge from its place at the Echidnas' walled city in the past.

Like... He grabbed the badge with his own anthropomorphic fox hands in the past, and then he carried that badge to the present. This would mean that, if either Tails, Sonic or any of the other four playable characters in SA1 hadn't "followed the script", they totally could have changed history at any point around the time when the Knuckles Clan was decimated by Chaos.

Anyway, thanks for reading my ramblings, I guess. SA1 certainly has one bizarre, trippy story when you think about it, especially regarding Tails's story.

I recently watched Game Grumps play Link's awakening and with the Edge of Sleep also having whales I just couldn't stop thinking of the Wind Fish

[telemna-hyelle]

The Sagas of Hilda sounds really interesting! Like same concept as Lots of Ravios but another take on it 😃 Mind telling us more about Laria or something else from your au? :3 (and I like that you decided to use Lari Laridae cause I named an unnamed Zelda character Laridae in a wip for the same reason and it's fun to see others have the same idea :3)

Aww, thank you! I'm glad people are finding it interesting.

Laria lives in the desert, in a mysterious oasis surrounded by deep desert often overwhelmed by sandstorms. The guardian deity of the oasis is the Earth Bird, who sleeps in a giant clam at the very bottom of the oasis pool. As long as she can remember her oasis has been peaceful, but monsters have been attacking lately, and she found that poor boy on the edge of the oasis after a sandstorm, passed out from the heat.

Her dream is to see what lies beyond the sands one day and find a nice cool place to live where it's green and there's lots of water, and where the birds sing every day.

Linktober Day 24: Deity My goal was to take the designs of the instruments (both from original and remake) and make them more realistic. For instance, a cello won't sound without holes in the soundboard!!!

[uncharted-constellations]

These two have such a funny vibe, had to take Zelda out of half their games because you know she’d just be telepathically negging him the whole time. Theyre besties, theyre potentially related, she’s mentally whispering ‘Sandwich’ in his ear whenever he’s trying to focus.

Edit: Added funny page in celebration of me not having to rework these designs for the new game
