A little big Midoriya and Todoroki piece!

It's by far the biggest one I've ever done, including meltdowns because of running our of the backround colour and having to change that, and gosh it took long, but the motive is just so adorable, I had to do it!

{You can find the pattern here, and honestly consider checking this creator out, there are just soooo many good patterns!}

do you see my vision IM SORRY OK look, I had a wild fucking theory that maybe the ancient hero mentioned in the tapestry in BOTW and from the ancient hero aspect armor in TOTK... was actually a version of Ganondorf that just happened to be around at that time. And the only way to defeat Calamity Ganon was to be in disguise as a weird fucked up looking Zonai/Gerudo creatura so that people wouldn’t lose their shit over seeing another ‘Ganondorf’. Featuring the underrated inner design of TOTK Ganondorf’s tunic. It’s so BEAUTIFUL UGHHHh and yes this Ganondorf is supposed to look younger sorry if it doesn’t really. (Like if you wanna see more of this design tho cause detailing the robe as accurately as I could was hell) Since Ganon and Ganondorf are already taken I’ve decided to name this variation ‘Dorf’. idc anymore. he’s innocent your honor Just now remembered that Zelda kept the secret stone. I don’t think they ever answered how exactly she time traveled? Just that she’s able to with the help of the stone lmao lmk your thoughts and pls correct me if I missed anything

got visually spoiled on the literally last thing i was still actively missing and working towards in totk but i dont think im gonna like it anyway ...

if it is what i think it is, and what it looks like to be, its just yet another nail in the coffin (or however you say that) as to why the lore sucks in this game even tho it had such good setup and so much potential

[phykoha]

I know nothing about Mr Ancient Hero but he is blorbo coded

like dude, what even ARE you?

When I'm necromancin', Everyone's dancin'

No one can stop me, I dare you to try

The dead are infused with sensational groove

And they're coming for you now, there's nowhere to hide!

My fallen hero necromancer Sammie Stitch! Once a hero who used dark magic for good, after a villainous team faked his death, the same team took his grief over losing his friends and turned him into one of their greatest assets. Love that corrupts, and he's going too far to bring his family back together...

The best most enhanced version of this tapestry with the missing parts filled in to the best of my ability

Each of the major Zelda titles are very different from each other, partly because they are often leveraged to sell more new consoles and lean into the newer features and capabilities (ex: hardware that supports better memory and performance, motion and gyro controls, touch screen interfaces, 3D parallax, etc).

Twilight Princess sim-shipped on GameCube and Wii, the former of which flipped the graphics of the entire game to create the first right-handed Link, to align with a majority right-handed population as they played with sword-waving motion controls. The developers of course rendered the UI and text in separate layers.

Twilight Princess set the precedent of a right-handed Link in Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom.

But the developers of both Hyrule Warriors and Cadence of Hyrule remembered that Link was classically left-handed and made him so in their games, which was nice to see.

Currently working on some pictures based on the original Zelda game’s artwork for a mini-comic featuring the Ancient Hero from the First Calamity. Here’s a little preview sketch of the first page I’m working on with the original concept art on the bottom. I wanted to use enemies found in TotK instead of a vague shadow like the concept art has, I figured the ReDeads Gibdo were a good choice. They’ll be actually to scale in the final picture, these little guys are just a placeholder so I have a general idea of what I want to do when I come back to this piece.
