30 years of A Link to the Past!

for @misio-dangisio’s request of alttp/la link and crona together!

4 are so hard to choose, there are way more games that mean so much to me. But these games were the games I'd wake up an extra hour early before school so like 5-6 am just to play and run home to play as soon as I got home. I feel it's important to explain why, and twitter doesn't have the characters. So here we go.
With Link to the Past at the time my sisters had the Super Nintendo in their room. So I'd sneak into the room at night turn the sound off and turn the brightness way down. I'd get caught almost every time.
Megaman X was the first game I had ever played. I believe I was 7 and we had just got our Super Nintendo for Christmas. I would play this game so much and my best friend at the time told me about the hadouken so it opened my eyes to game secrets. Obviously this stuck with me.
Ocarina of time was specifically the one I woke up at 4-5 in the morning before school to play. I would also run home with my backpack tightened up so it wouldn't slap my back while running 😂
I was so amazed at the game and I'd go to a friends house who also had it and watched him beat it.
Goldeneye was the game I played with my cousin more than anything. I'd go to my cousins house every weekend and we'd play the hell out of it. We also played wcw vs nWo a lot too but goldeneye is what made us so close even all these years later. I can recall countless hours of playing this and listening to the ruff Ryder's anthem.
Can I do another one? I might actually have a few more of these

Damnnn, it’s been a while since I last posted. Been a tad bit busy after ArtFight and haven’t drawn too much, but I plan on posting the pieces I have done soon! (As well as my ArtFight art, cuz I don’t think I posted that)
These two wonderful lads are from @twidash-ftw-blysse ! Seer is on the left and Myth is on the right, and they’re a part of Blysse’s Links Meet AU! They’re such cool characters and I love their designs so damn much!!!


These are the same zelda. It's cool to see the design of zelda from alttp get a final design, where they have a clear idea of who zelda is. Her design from albw is beautiful, and I love it. It isn't to say her old design isn't bad. It still feels zelda if that makes sense. I think what helps the blue design a lot are the little hair pieces that flip outwards to give her her silhouette. She feels more down to earth with the lack of gold on her. Overall it's a simple but solid design. It's cool to think that after the events of alttp, at some point zelda changed and it is reflected in her more regal appearance. Gives her a more human feel knowing she isn't stuck in the same outfit forever.

I played Alttp & LA HD for the first time this year and they were both GREAT!
When I picked the first one up I was kind of worried that I wouldn’t be able to appreciate the classic. I’ve played 2D games before but it’s been many years since I’ve touched one. I’ve also primarily grown up with 3D games, especially where Zelda’s concerned. Ironically though, that’s probably why the experience it created for me felt so special. It’s old with it’s own brand of challenges, and yet I really wasn’t expecting how much it would move me all throughout my playthrough. I was already giddy by all the charming details and character, so discovering just how deeply this game and it’s sequel has obviously inspired all the Zelda games I grew up playing with? I was floored. It all suddenly clicked and it was like discovering something old and completely brand new all at once.
I enjoyed both games so much. There’s so many characters and scenes that caught my imagination and that has been calling me to draw. For now, here are some illustrations of Link in the mountain regions of the first game. The Bully and Gumball in particular (and as I like to call them) were some of my favorite character encounters. It must of been so surreal for Link to run into them only briefly after getting turned into a rabbit. They were a really amusing pair, and it was really fun trying to reimagine them!
