#other zelda aus

[doomed-era]

i feel like my names for links tend to be a bit on the weirder side and i feel like rambling (bored) so um name origins in chronological order of when i made em

jo (Alternate Triforce)— he's my first FC Link so initially I called him Link. then i felt like i was too focused on making him "linkish" and had trouble developing him. he didn't feel like his own person quite yet. at the time, ALT was a LOT different from what it is currently. at the time the plot was basically "ganon is """""""smarter""""""" so instead of going after zelda immediately he tries to kill link, unfortunately he can't and it turns into wacky hijinks where ganon is basically a cartoon character chasing link around with a mallet"

so. technically he is named after jerry from a tom and jerry short where jerry gets called "little johann"

lionel (also from ALT but you haven't seen him) — so he's like. king link. so i had to give him a fancy name that still sounded like link

bessemer(used to be from ALT, now he is not)— he didn't actually have a name until recently but he is named after a type of furnace

cal — so the people i hung out with at the time were big on naming their fan characters after flowers and like victorian flower meanings or whatever so i succumbed to peer pressure. his full name is calycanthus which is also known as carolina allspice or sweetshrub. his zelda is named after baby's breath (gypsophilia)

panka — I used to call him dundee?? as in like. crocodile dundee??? then I don't remember who found panka's actual name but i'm pretty sure the baby name site said it had something to do with mud.

felix — people call him lucky and he got buried alive

theodora — I literally don't remember why her nickname is theodora. i usually call her dora. (iirc her real name IS theodora but she goes by link. opposite of panka)

victor, lila, roui, um name i can't remember —

uggg. originally i was gonna have a sequel to ALT based on four swords. but. I scrapped it. victor is called victor cause he's a weirdo who digs up bodies lila is turkish for purple roui is french for red iirc. bam

eyegore — link raised by monsters. eyegore is a type of monster. this is also his actual name

mellifer — he's a fairy! he's named after the eurasian honeybee, apis mellifera

athos — he uses a rapier a lot so i named him after a musketeer. this is technically his last name

pavel — he's slavic and it sounds nice. my friend suggested this btw

gaffen — his name originally came from "gaffe" which means a blunder (I was originally going to name him "mistake" but that was too on the nose.) then i found out there's a word in german, "gaffen" which is I think an unconjugated verb that means "to gawk/stare/rubberneck." he tends to do a lot of rude staring, he's almost always being watched, and when he does interact with people he's incredibly awkward, so it fits

chalkane — my friend suggested this name :] iirc it's based on "chalk" and "alkane" though "chicanery" was also mentioned.

Linktober Day 24– ZORA RIVER

Another job wrapped up! Goodbyes are said and our heroes go their separate ways— not quite together, but not quite alone either.

END OF WATER SAGE ARC

(This totk au is called Familiar Familiar! It all started when Zelda did not get whisked back in time and devolved from there.)

Newwwwww Midna ref!

She used to have a ref but it was a small scuffed one, I used all her other artwork I had more often than the actual reference image. This was also done in the midst of me testing out the deer tail idea if it wasn't obvious.

-> Twili Sheet -> My Kofi! If you maybe wanna support me.

i do love daruk, but i think it’s hilarious that this comic is 99% other random gorons.

Have you ever designed your own Link/Zelda? Like your own original design?

ooooo yes!! I have my own original toon link design!

He’s an oldie but I don’t have a full story for him yet. His and my Zelda designs are influenced by the tribal attire of my culture, along with some of our old beliefs and superstitions in their backstory haha.

He signs too, which is cool ^^

Going off the recent ask, I did say Twilight loosens up about Midna when he's a lil' buzzed.

And for the longest time, Warrior was convinced he was a freak.

For my AU House of Heroes. I'm still working on their designs so please bear with me lol

Don't tag as LU please.

These two should meet. I think they'd get along
