FROM MY TIMELINES CONCEPT

Boy, am I falling in love with this paring idea. In the first iteration of the timeline, Ganondorf slays the hero - whose soulforce laid incomplete when separated from his shadow - in which Ganondorf extracted him within the Sacred Realm.

Instead of attempting to take the demon king by surprise in a last effort - Zelda implores Dark to return the master sword and turn back time in order to rewrite it.

In Timeline 2 - Sheik and Dark must work together to prevent the end of the Hero.

"I love to hate you"

"I'll take all of you. Any day."

----

I love the idea of exploring the shadow self - especially in such a weighted story like OOT. Imagine if Dark Link was exactly that - his extracted self - the accumulation of all the anguish, suffering, and anger Link has and will go through - as shattered as the timelines themselves.

Of course, there would be a part of him that was angry with Zelda -how could one not be a flurry of mixed emotions? Such begins their complex entanglement of destined souls - and the beginning of the Fierce Deity.

(YES YALL - I HAVE A FICTHEORY that ties in all timelines, Dark Link, and the Fierce Deity)

Watch the Timelines

Redesigned my old Twili Sheik design from a million years ago... I love him so much

Undecided on if he takes Midna's place as Twili ruler, or if he's simply her retainer. Either that, or he serves as ambassador between the realm of Light and Shadow.

Regardless of his role, him and Link are going to kiss.

This idea for a later part in Four Swords Returns floats around in my head and I find it hilarious:

So you get to see it. X"D

Vaati (Still being lose) is completely enamored with the lovely princess Zelda, so he kidnaps her to be his bride.

Woops. He kidnapped Vio instead...However did that happen...

So Zelda dons the Vio persona and helps the other 4 (including Shadow Link) save the real Vio before he and Vaati are married.

Hilarity ensues.

I'm a simple guy. I see sheik in something I get this huge stupid grin on my face.

Link swinging the master sword in TOTK

You can’t tell but it’s only the fragmented version (because that’s how far I was when I started this lol). I was kinda playing the game instead of finishing this but I really wanted to draw something for it!

Also! The facial expressions are inspired by young Thorfinn in Vinland Saga and the framing is inspired by the Oshi no Ko Idol video (~27 seconds)

Yknow I wonder what it says about me that Princess Ruto from Oot was like my first childhood crush-

Little thing I’ve been working on! It’s a redraw of a 4koma Ocarina of Time manga! (read right to left!)

Original:

[waywardsalt]

the oracle of seasons manga is also a step up from the oot manga, but not as good as four swords. it’s... average? granted i never played oracle of seasons (or ages) and it’s not bad but it’s not great, either. it doesn’t really do anything wrong but as far as i can tell nothing they do or add to the story is all that great. the only exception is the stuff with link joining the performers; that was actually an interesting section of the manga.

i was rereading the Phantom Hourglass manga and honestly as much as i dislike the whole "actually Linebeck was honorable all along" interpretation it has, i respect that it cuts out like half the game's content in favor of giving Jolene an actual role in the story instead of just being the lady who Linebeck fucked over. She literally helps save the world and that's really nice to see. She was cool. Also the fact that Tetra was allowed to have her actual personality from Wind Waker carry over instead of barely having any presence except to be damseled. She was still damseled but like. she also got to have personality.

I also reread the Minish Cap manga, which is perfect and flawless.

Also i reread the Four Swords manga, which is really cool and good. I love the way Shadow Link is explored as just some guy who wants friends but has no reference for kindness and STILL TRIES SO HARD BECAUSE HE CARES. And also the fact that the maidens actually get to help the characters! also the fact that they perfectly replicated how completely dysfunctional a team the game actively encourages the players to be within the actual plot of the manga!!! it's so neat!

wait when did Link have fae ancestry? isn't he hylian or am i tripping

Based on what I know: Link always starts out the games as a Hylian. Sometimes he gets turned into other things halfway through the game but the dude's pretty much always Hylian. Or at least, human, in the games where the nationality of Hylian doesn't exist. And obviously I know enough about the games I haven't played to know not to take everything or even most things in fanfics as canon (tloz is a sandbox after all) but I saw enough "the Link from the first two legend of zelda games has at least some fae blood in him" that I figured it was based on a little one liner tucked away in one of the game manuals or something that nintendo didn't really give much though to but the idea seemed fun enough that modern fans figured it was a cool idea since those game manuals are usually the only story older games, you know. have.

But since the revelation that the sages in Ocarina of Time are totally fucking alive guys, I've since been rethinking these bits of popular fanon that people generally take as fact when talking about these games to the point where if you haven't played the game in question it's indistinguishable from actual canon (note: haven't played all the way through, apparently, I will admit that there's some dialogue in oot that does imply that the sages aren't coming back from the sacred realm, but that dialogue is also between mido and link, not exactly two bastions of accurate information, and more importantly we see the sages being totally fine at the end, so while I can see how the average person would think the sages are dead if they didn't finish oot or skipped the credits or whatever, I feel like if you're making a whole theory video about the sages being totally dead you guys isn't that sad, then you should like. check). And I know that the "link from the first two games has fae ancestry" thing isn't exclusive to but is definitely more common in Linked Universe fics so now the question is "was this actually from the manuals or even some dialogue in Zelda II or is this something jojo56830 added for flavor that the fandom latched onto"
