oracle hype!!! now presenting midnight doodle ft. the dip pen again

Just got the manga and plan on playing the game! In the manga, the Link in Oracles is not the same one from ALttP (as he likely is in the games), and this gave me many thoughts. I couldn't help myself...

For Zelda, I changed a few details to differentiate her from OoT Zelda just a bit more. I kept features more taken from ALttP Zelda and changed some shapes to match the sprite in-game (her tiara). Link has some patterns from Farore's design, as well as Roc's Cape. And yes, the feathers on his cap belong to Moosh. Of course I am choosing Moosh. Just look at it!!!

This might be a controversial post, but... can some Zelda fans please stop saying that the alttp versions of Zelda and Link were "siblings"....

They obviously weren't... 🫠

This is without getting into how the line that spawned the idea of them being related doesn't actually even hint at them being siblings at all in Japanese

I complied a bunch of sketches I did recently-ish since I’m working on some paintings rn :> I wanted to share my favorites!

The top ones are VERY recent lol (ok maybe not RECENT RECENT but they were done last month)

The rest are old ish? They were done around summer of this year so ʅ(ツ)ʃ

A wee bit of translation:

Cumplí con un montón de bocetos que hice recientemente (mas y menos) ya que estoy trabajando en algunas pinturas en este momento.

Yo creo que los dibujos arriba son nuevos. Pero, el dibujitos son viejos…

…Creo que los hice en verano jaja 💀🤷🏻‍♀️

¡Pero disfruta ☺️ !

I just learned that in Oracle of Seasons/Ages, there's this kid who you affect his life outcome. There's a chance he will become a musician, and he says he wants to write a song for Link, so he asks him if he values love or courage more. If Link says love, the kid will start playing the song that's heard when you rescue Zelda. Like???? How did I not know this???? That is honestly so cute.

My headcanon is that every Link and every Zelda falls in love. But it gets a little more complicated than that because I don't think they get together every time. So... Here is how I would justify every Zelink in the Legend of Zelda franchise:

(please note that I'm not saying other ships aren't cool. I personally like a lot of them.)

Skyward Sword: This one is probably as canon as Zelink has gotten so far. I don't know anyone that says that they don't have feelings for each other. These two probably founded Hyrule together. Maybe as a kingdom, maybe just as a small village below the clouds. Either way, the Royal Family traces their lineage back to this couple.

Minish Cap: This Zelink is very cute. I think they dated, and maybe even married. From what I understand about the timeline, though, this Link abandons Hyrule and lives the rest of his life cursed by the mind-shattering properties of the Four Sword. So, it was a relationship for a while, but they didn't grow old together.

Four Swords: There actually isn't a lot of information about this Zelda, but I like to think that they got together after Link saves her. They're cute.

Ocarina of Time: The way Zelda looks at Link at the end of the game is full of remorse. She doesn't want to send Link away from her, but she knows it's the right thing to do for his sake and Hyrule's. Also, the way Sheik looks at Link can't go unnoticed. That ninja isn't good at hiding his feelings.

Majora's Mask: The same as Ocarina of Time, but it's much more brief. I don't think Link ever returns to Hyrule Castle, but it's possible. It's more likely that he founded Ordon with Malon. That means that Malon and Link end up together, but Link's true love was the princess he saved in another time.

Twilight Princess: Zelda and Link barely talk in the game, and when they interact, it's only because Midna put them together. But with Midna out of the picture, I think they would still bond. Ilia gets friendzoned. Sorry.

Four Swords Adventures: I think I'll have to put this one with Four Swords as well. These games are a little weird in that the Links are so affected by the Four Sword that it's hard to picture them in a situation without it. If anyone else has thoughts on this Zelink, please lmk.

Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass: Tetra and Link get together and found New Hyrule. This one is pretty self explanatory and difficult to argue against. Very cute and I love it.

Spirit Tracks: They were made for each other. They have so much of a connection because of their adventure together. Whether Link becomes an adventurer or an engineer, I think the princess has feelings for the Hero of Spirit.

A Link to the Past/Link's Awakening/Oracles: The cryptic uncle wants you to know that Zelda is your responsibility. Now that we've covered that, I think Link would have been with Zelda if it weren't for Marin. After Koholint, I don't think he really has it in him to have a relationship with anyone.

A Link Between Worlds/Tri Force Heroes: I think that after saving Hytopia, Link returns to Hyrule and asks for Zelda's hand. There's no reason why not to, and I don't think Link would have wanted to stay in Hytopia for the rest of his life. As cool as it is, it's a vacation spot. And Styla isn't the princess for Link.

Hyrule Fantasy/Adventure of Link: Two Zeldas, one Link. This one's kind of weird, but I think he'd rather be with the Zelda from his first adventure. Zelda the First only kisses him as a reward, probably the only reward she can give.

Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom: I mean, they live together. They hugged at the end of both games. What else do you want me to say?

reminder that these two canonically went on at least one date. reblog to make a zelinker mad

[zelinkacrosstime]

Once upon a time, a princess and a great swordsman’s fates were forever intertwined.

She’s a goddess, a princess, a sage, a knight, or even a pirate. He’s a Hero, a soldier, a swordsman, an engineer, or a farm boy. Bound by destiny, they meet each life anew to face the evil of their world, but behind all that, they’re a boy and girl who choose each other, again and again.

Across Time will follow the tale of Zelda and Link finding each other in every incarnation through art and written works. Each event day will explore a new chapter of their story, giving each incarnation the opportunity to show why we as fans fall in love with them over and over again, too. And for everyone who loves a happy ever after — all entries will be arranged into a free digital zine which will be published shortly after the event ends.

This project is a SFW, not for-profit collaborative zine and event which will focus on Zelink’s canon in-game relationships. Our event will be hosted on our socials from June 10th-28th, so follow us and check out our Carrd (in bio) to make sure you don’t miss anything!

In the meantime, keep an eye out for our upcoming contributor spotlights to find out which incarnation your favorite artists and writers are working on. Don’t forget to mark the dates in your calendars!

LoZ - Hylia as a Character

Honestly, I really like the fact that Zelda/Hylia admits, rather openly, in fact, that what she did was wrong. Then, she owns up to it.

They could've gone the route that "this is destiny, you must" or made it seem like something entirely righteous & that the fact that it saves everyone automatically makes it okay, but the writers didn't.

What happened. What Hylia put into place was a necessary evil, but still wrong by its very nature of being a necessary EVIL. She manipulated Link, not because she wanted to, or because she was a bad person, but because it was the ONLY way that she could see things working out for the benefit of as many people involved as possible.

Still doesn't make it right, but it makes it understandable. Which are 2 very different things. And I've seen a lot of people conflating the 2. For whatever reason not realizing that you can understand why someone did something & that that something can still be wrong or morally questionable. And that these are 2 things that can exist at the same time.

Because Zelda said it best, "it was a war." It wasn't like what SS Link had experienced, where he was fighting most enemies one on one & it was really only himself who was in danger at a given moment. There were battles with armies & even the game says that the demons killed without mercy. In situations like that, you might have to do things that compromise your own morals & I just...

It makes Hylia so much more human in a way. She's not like the 3 golden goddesses who you only really interact with individuals who have their names & who may just be people that resemble them. (Minish Cap, Oracle of Seasons, & Oracle of Ages.) SS Zelda actually remembers being Hylia.

Thus meaning that SS Link's interaction with SS Zelda in that scene before putting herself to sleep, was the closest interaction any Link has ever had with an actual higher deity.

You get her actual opinion. Her regrets, her apologies. Seriously, she apologizes repeatedly. While it may be filtered through Zelda, who obviously cares very deeply about Link (yes, I ship zelink here, what of it), as she said, she was both Hylia & Zelda. Specifically, still Link's Zelda.

And I... I can't hate Hylia as a result.

Which causes me to not really understand the Hylia hate that I've seen here & there.

Like, it isn't Hylia's fault that she, Link, & Ganondorf were cursed. That was all The Bringer of Demise & his toddlerish butthurt over losing to not just a mortal, but a mortal teen. He cursed them, not Hylia. And what exactly do people think Hylia could've done?

What were her other options? She wasn't a goddess anymore at the time! And we dont even know the rules regarding the Hyrulean gods! There could be some sort of rule of non-interference or only indirect interference unless you give up your godhood that we don't know about!

And, if she hadn't done something, then think about what could've happened as a result.

According to the information that we currently have, Demise would've taken over & made a wish that we don't even know. Not only that, but he had apparently been killing so many humans that Hylia felt the need to lift pieces of land into the air via nothing but magic to keep Demise away from them! Like putting a toy up too high for a kid to reach.

This suggests that they nearly went extinct!

Also keep in mind that she literally gave up her godhood to keep everyone safe!! That's... that's huge!

Also, I hate that there are fans out there who blame Sky for them being cursed!

Dude just finished a fight with a Daimaō (yōkai general). A battle that involved a LOT of lightning striking the Master Sword, which is known to cause temporary deafness, disorientation, ect.

He likely wasn't even aware that the Bringer of Demise had cursed him & Zelda both.

The only person anyone should be blaming here is Demise.

Though, that does bring into question why Fi didn't notify Link of this fact.

LoZ Cultural Masterlist

[gale-gentlepenguin]

Rating How understanding I am if you dont ship Zelink on a per game basis

The Legend of Zelda: There really isnt any shipping options here, aside from Zelda. so 5/10

Link's Adventure: 6/10 The health shop girl be wild lol

Link to the past: 4/10 Link and Zelda are kind of adorable but I get it

Link's Awakening: 8/10 Zelda really isnt in this game and Marin and Link got a good thing going. Too bad its a dream

Ocarina of Time: 6/10 There are a lot of options for Link in this game, and while I still stand that Zelda is best girl here, I do understand the appeal of the others

Majora's mask: 9/10 You got 3 days and Zelda isnt even here, so I get it.

Oracle of Seasons/Ages: 8/10 Zelda isnt really in this one and there are other mortal goddesses to woo

Four Swords/Adventures: 5/10 There arent really that many options unless you read the manga

Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass: 4/10 Tetra is best girl and she is Zelda. Yea there are options but Tetra is easy choice

Minish Cap: 7/10 Not really an options thing but just the way the game is.

Twilight Princess: 10/10 Midna was best girl in that game so I totally get why people didnt ship this iteration of Link with TP Zelda.

Spirit Tracks: 1/10. Anyone that DOESNT ship ST Zelink is not someone I could trust. Its not that I think you are a bad person, I just dont know if you have a soul. I will pray for you.

Skyward Sword: 2/10 So this is my favorite Zelink, but at least there is an option or two. Unless you ship Link with Groose, I refuse to accept the other answers to why you dont ship the most PERSONAL ZELINK

Link between worlds: 7/10. Lowrule zelda is cool, and also you got Lowrule Link. So there are some combos here that are interesting

Triforce heroes: Havent played it so I dont even bother.

Breath of the wild/Tears of the Kingdom: 7/10. While I am all for the Zelink. There are a LOT of options for Link and Zelda. Mipha is a precious bean and I wish she was still alive. That being said, I still love the Zelink

[bluesdesk]

I didn't notice I wrote "A link between worlds" 2 times instead albw and botw. Here's the new poll, the other is gettiong deleted rn!

Anyway 10 games left!

Round 8!! It's getting difficult, isn't it?

During the last round we lost Spirit Tracks. If I were to remove 2 games, I should have picked TotK too, as it's the second most voted, but I prefer to just yeet only the most voted out.

Spirit Tracks... I like it. The story should have been better, I don't really like the Lokomos, but Byrne's arc is great! Also the pan flute was kinda hard to play but satisfying nonetheless! And playable Zelda was the best mechanics in the game (the worst were the evil trains)! It was also the third best Zelink after SkSw and TotK!

Back to the poll, remember to vote the game you think is the worst out of these in the list! Please don't vote a game if you don't know it! Knowing means having played the game (even not completed), watched a gameplay, read the wiki! Having read the manga is ok too, I can't think of any other things rn but I hope you got what I mean :D

Reblogs are appreciated, since for obvious reasons I won't tag this as Linked Universe, but the majority of my interactions come from that fandom!
