"Your highness?"

A dream.

A bitter sweet memory ❤️

Pre-Calamity flashback panel from my Zelink comic. Work in progress.

After the Yiga attack, Zelda tried to be nice.She was nervous, of course. Maybe Link really hates her but his duty is stronger, she thinks.

But she tries anyway.As for Link, he is confused. Like, really, really confused. But… he is not against it.

Even if she insults him trying to give him a compliment, he thinks she is just not good at it

This is how Link lost his hat, right?

Echoes of Wisdom Headcanon Countdown

༺ Day 63▪︎ 36 Left

Had King Rhoam not forbade Zelda's involvement with the Guardian research, she very likely would have discovered the Calamity's capability of taking control of them. She could have pieced together that the energy that powered them was almost like Ganon's malice, although essentially neutral. (That being said, the energy of Zonai technology was likely the true inverse - meaning it could have purged Malice from the guardians itself. She may have even discovered that, had she been allowed to pursue her studies). Although her power still remained a key in stopping the Calamity, this could have saved the lives of the Champions, the king himself, and many others... And after keeping Ganon sealed for 100 years, Zelda likely knows it too.

[BotW: Family and Legacy] - Passing on the Gremlin Wisdom from one gremlin generation to the next.

Link and his sister got their Gremlin nature from Grandpa Eishun. The OG Gremlin of the family. Their dad and Grandma do not approve on some of the Gremlin advices.

Also Link is 10 and his sister, 7 years old here. They sometimes visit their grandparents in Kakariko Village with their Dad. They have their own Sheikah outfits ready by said grandparents.

Tbh I would love to see a Zelda game where the main group in charge ISN'T the Hyrule royal family. Like, how cool would a game be if the Zora royal family or Gerudo, or maybe even Rito was centered, because I mostly feel like all of the races' leaders (mostly pre calamity) are just puppeted by the Hylian royal family - and be damned if they do ANYTHING that could be seen as a threat against the hylian royal family.

I get that they're all united under Hyrule, however that doesn't stop me from feeling like there's no point in having the leaders of all the races if they're all united under HYRULE (it's OWN kingdom). Kind of like having the biggest kid on the playground coming up to you and telling you that you're part of his group now and how he's your friend, however, when the time comes to have your own autonomy after him micromanaging your actions, he just interprets it as being a threat.

Especially since (at least in botw/pre calamity) neither the elders of the Sheikah, Goron or Rito, the Gerudo chief, or even the royal Zora family have much authority over the other races as the Hylian royal family does.

this is a year old piece that i finally decided to just suck up and post. finding the reference was impossible and even then i wasn’t able to find the actual source 😭

[gayforsphaghettios]

based on a certain fanart i reblogged and mention my kogha x link fic i was working {ideas and didn't write out yet} ages ago and didn't post.

my actual notes between me and my friend abou this:

What if... link has been marriage scammed before. But he didn't know it before someone claimed that they'd married him and he had to find out how to divorce them and be like "hey i don't like u like that and also im broke af amd a workaholic and v likely to die in combat so ud get literally nothing from this. U deserve better than me trust me ik myself" . He could have gotten "married" like 8-9 times over the years and is like, the go to specialist for how to propose to someone of a specific race bc he had to figure out how not to get scammed again. (Revali could have proposed to him omg.... mipha could have tried to marry him with the shirt.... the possibilities r endless....)

Possible link: I've been married like 7 times and I've never even kissed someone let alone gotten laid

Sidon: 🙏(deep inhale) link HOW

One of the regions could have the ancient greek proposal of tossing an apple at someone and link caught and ate it bc he needed the hearts but that was like fucking vows

(The real reason y the yiga r after him: a young kohga tried to marry him (sheikah live for a long time and for all we know he was a teenager back before the calamity) and didn't take their divorce well)

(I'm joking here, this is supposed to be funny and terrible but mostly funny)

His good looks have been a blessing, and a curse.

Honestly kohga definitely tried to marry Link and either got rejected because Link didn't know about the proposals or he hardcore rejected him. Or Link divorced him and kohga got incredibly pissed because Link didn't know they were even married

Kohga got unintentionally left at the alter.

Imagine if link had been into kohga but accidentally left him at the alter due to the calamity and didn't get the memo of marriage.

The yiga blade masters were his wedding entourage,

That's why all the yiga have a vendetta against Link and remember him in totk and 100yrs later. He's their boss's ex fiance.

KOGHA KNOWS LINK EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DISGUISED AS A YIGA. HE KNEW AT FIRST GLANCE.

per my reblogg with more info:

the plot was Sidon going to Link's house in hateno or vice versa link goes to the domain, but it worked better for Sidon doing it. To get married for tax benefits or because of something similar. Link agrees but "Oh yeah i need to divorce Kogha then" Pre calamity he married Kogha accidentally as i stated previously. link had accidentally done that quite a bit after he woke up from the shrine.

Link would infiltrate the Yiga hideout, again. potentially get captured only for Link to nonchalantly just say "we need to get divorced"

the other Yiga freaking out because "master kogha got married to his enemy?? The hero of Hyrule wants to divorce him?? what's going on"

now the big question; is should i write this out and would people read it?

New animatic

This is a short and messy one cause I just needed to finish something, and wanted to exercise not being an art perfectionist because that shit is exhausting. So here’s a new pre calamity Zelda animatic

Warnings for: religious themes, bad parenting, extremely mild gore it’s just artistic symbolism

Also sorry the intro is so long, but i don’t feel like changing it
