#zelda fancomic

[sheikfangirl]

A page from my post-Botw Zelink comic. Each chapter covers key moments of my headcanon. I don't think my comic is super revolutionary in terms of story because there is so much fan content out there and im super classic and vanilla... but i dont care. I'm having fun creating my own take on what happened. This project is a time consuming blackhole and I draw it all out of order because I have no discipline whatsoever ���� 😂 It was originally just random black and white pages here and there with no cohesions, like my stand alone illustrations... but the illustrations became pages. The project is basically me fan-servicing my own self. 😂😂

Then it exploded, i've been adding color, cleaning up my panels, pimping the backgrounds.

I still unsure on which platform i will make it available to read. The friends who got my out of my shipping closet are screaming to me to print a fanzine, but i'm lazy hahaha. Might do a patreon eventually, idk.

Oh yeah, this is a panel from the chapter where Zelda and Link go back to Korok forest to put the Master Sword back in it's pedestal... I'm old, i played the old games. One of my BotW nitpics was that it didnt include the classic moment where the sword rests once again, like in ALttP and OoT. I like traditions okay!!!! Cheers!!!

You know when you fall asleep somewhere and then you wake up the next morning on your bed?

Happens to Zelda a lot and she’ll often find herself sleeping on a hammock.

She either works herself until she’s out like a light or Teba, or Link or her other companions get her to sleep. Let the Princess rest 🤍🍃

Prince Style Test - mostly complete

Baby, we are in business!

[Close ups under cut]

I have had way too much fun working on this guy. He is so bouncy and dramatic and filled with his own kind of charm.

His games are the ones I played the most (outside of a few exceptions) as a kid, so I have extreme nostalgia for cursing at my DS when it decided to not read a Gameboy cartridge. (the nerve)

He has a lot of nicknames amongst the Links ('Prince' is merely a title bestowed by someone who wanted to upset him - which didn't quite go how Pink intended - and is barely used by the other Links, much like how Pink is only called so when the others want to rile him up) ranging from their Storyteller, Dungeon Crawler, Adventurer, Bard, Swift, and many more. Currently, he stands alone as the fastest of the Links, but only for as long as he can bear the pain of going that fast in a body that tired.

Whilst an incredibly skilled fighter - adaptable, swift and bold - and only just beginning to reach the age of majority, he knows full well his body is at its limit. Despite this - or perhaps because of this fact - he takes any threat to the younger, or more inexperienced members of their group very personally. This can cause some friction between those Links and himself. Luckily, half a decade spent word smithing his way around perception spells and curses have made him very adept at soothing ruffled feathers. Unfortunately, he is inexperienced in one very notable aspect - dealing with constant companionship with not-so amenable souls. Getting used to others when they don't want to get used to him is going to cause him some grief.

Like many of the Links Hylia pulled to her from throughout the Eras, the Hero of Legend died before his time - he hopes to make up for it, for all none of the others think he should have to.

Day one of using a lot of tracing and improv to turn Nintendo's ToTK wallpaper into my ocs from my upcoming Zelda fic; I'm teaching myself how to draw again, and until I can draw well I'm gonna post my WIPs and learning curve! (Or, relearning curve)

Alternate Triforce by @alternate-triforce

Fantasy Comic | Teen | Tumblr | Ongoing

Synopsis: A Legend of Zelda fancomic following a small boy named Link as he makes friends, fights monsters called rifts, and navigates a world that’s not quite what it seems.

Content Warnings: Body horror

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I LOVE this work's art style and characters. The designs are really refreshing while also feeling like Zelda! I especially love the look of Zelda herself. - Nocturne

This comic has a really unique vision of Hyrule that feels very, very human (or Hylian). The characters are relatable in their flaws, they have their mysteries, they're all charming but also have this little bit of darkness either just under the surface or a bit deeper, and it is SO much fun to watch them go, and you just want to know more and more about them. The story is ramping up with Link having been given a quest in the last few pages, but it would be wrong to call this a start when so much has already happened and been hinted at. The title is very justified: we have some alternative triforce happenings here. On top of the writing, the art for this comic is a joy to look at. The style is evolving gorgeously, but still staying true to what makes it pop: it's vibrant, it has clear lines, it's expressive, and the comedic moments come through really, really well with some great funny faces and action shots. You gotta read this. - Karama9

This comic has so much going for it: A fun twist on monsters, a magical mystery off the bat, and unique takes on Link and Zelda absolutely worth investing in. It's packed to the brim with charm, character, and color, absolutely worth a read. - amelias-hart

New Dedicated Blog For This Series

Sheik slinks between buildings - within the shades of stone walls that tower above. Ever so stealthy, they open the door to an abandoned house and creep inside. 

Their body held tightly in stance, always alert to move at any given moment, slumps forward and retreats to the far end of the room to collapse on a bed. A heavy exhale pushes out of the warrior’s lungs. 

A thick lulling takes over, allowing the exhaustion to take hold. Thoughts of Link and his awaiting quest weigh their mind. 

‘He is so strong. To be so resilient through all of this. May the Goddess’ watch over him now.’

Shiek’s eyes go heavy. Their body falls into a complete state of rest, disarming their otherwise unhindering demeanor. They begin to fade into the sleep.

Thoughts of Link, thoughts of Impa - dance into phosphene clouds of color on the black canvas of dwindling consciousness. 

We will succeed. The thought urges a courage in their heart. We will succeed. 

Another heavy sigh escapes their mouth. ‘We’re not alone.’ The affirmation reminds their weary worry. They imagine all of the sages awakened in the Sacred Realm - awaiting their duty to strike down the Demon King. 

The lull pulls deeper as their mind begins to soothe. The heart slows down. 

“It’s about time we met, Sheikah.” 

Sheik’s body startles to a scramble as a masculine form cages them in with a sword to the neck and a knee pinned against the spine. The stablizing grip of their right arm arches Sheik’s throat a hair’s distance from the blade. 

There is a controlled stillness to the intruder. No further words come from the figure, so Sheik takes in what little detail they can from the arm stationed over their shoulder.  

It is as dark as the shadows of the deepest corners of the room.

A phantom, Sheik assesses. Perhaps something that slinked out of the Shadow Temple when Bongo Bongo barged open their seal. 

With no other choice but to remain calm and calculated, Sheik finds their center. 

“Who are you,” Sheik asks plainly.  

They snicker at the question with what sounds like a tinge of contempt. 

“I am the Shadow of your arrogance, Princess.”

In a swift movement, the figure withdraws its grip and kicks Sheik from off the bed - knocking the breath out of them as they hit the floor with a thud. 

Quick to recoil, Sheik twists their body up from the ground and into a defensive stance against the shadow.

Red eyes stare at red eyes. Sheik falters in bewilderment. 

“A Sheikah?” 

“No more than you are.” He grunts before charging forward, knocking his forearm against Sheik’s block and back into the wall. 

Sheik juts their knee up into the torso of the shadow being, knocking it back into the middle of the room. In a swift-flowing movement, Shiek draws their daggers and lunges at him.

Blades clash and resist against each other’s strength. 

“Ya know, I thought we would have met far earlier than this.” He growls. “You just keep on making me wait.” 

Confusion begins to fall over the Sheikah with not only the shadow’s words but also the tone of his familiar voice. 

His masculine strength overcomes Sheik's and wins, knocking them back onto the floor - knee pinned suffocatingly against their chest.

Again, placed at the mercy of the blade. 

Another round of stillness. If the aim was to kill, they would be dead already. 

Sheik’s eyes adjust to the dimness of the unlit room.

That blade… 

Sheik’s eyes shift to peer directly upon the figure looming above, sharpening their focus on its features. Sheik’s heartbeat quickens, thrusting blood to drown their head with pulsing panic. 

“...Link.” Sheik proclaims, viens flooding with concerned dread. “What happened to you?” 

“I am not that fool.” speaks the phantom. 

“But you know what… I am…” The figure slams the sword down the side of Sheik's head and through the slack of their cloak, tearing it into the wood of the floor. “- Significantly…angry. With you.” 

He swings the sword to the side, leaving the shambles of the garment to fall away from Sheik’s face. 

“Zelda….” The words hiss out slowly - like angry steam from a boiling pot with low water. 

With her face exposed, she lies beneath the figure with shocked eyes that try to understand the situation. 

“What happened to you.” She tries again. 

“What happened.” The dark Link echoes eerily. “What happened is that I have had many years to finally catch up and truly understand how much you really fucked things.” 

The being smirks upon a knowing thought. “...You deserved ending up in Ganondorf’s hands in the end…” 

The shadow leans over to wrap his fingers around her neck, only gently applying pressure. “I wonder what he’s doing with you now.”  

His face changes into a grimace as the thought processes - a combination of angers washing over it.  

“What are you talking about?” The Sheikah implores, frozen to the ground at the end of his hands. 

The shadowed form of the destined boy leans even further down so that his face is intimately close to the Sheikah. 

“The timeline,” He whispers into her ear.  “-where your hero dies.”

Tri Force Heroes - A Material Matter

For a while now I’ve been wanting to make a sort of series of minicomics revolving around TFH, taking place during various parts of the adventure and with varying tones. I suppose this is the second of them, the first being the one from January 2023 (you could even argue all the way back to the coffee shop one from 2021). Working on this for three whole months (and fifty hours) tells me that these take a long time, but I don’t mind. Though this series won’t be frequent, it gives me an opportunity to practice with this sort of thing.

You could say Navy was right though. Cardinal may be the closest thing to evil around there (Sage is just there for the laughs meanwhile).
