Sleeping Time

Night sketch because I'm not sleepy yet, but I think Time is sleeping at this time accompanied by the fairies who still love him very much!

Shh let's let him sleep, he's very adorable 🥰

Link appreciation post.

So I am happy that Zelda is more popular than ever due to BOTW but I am saddened that the general perception of Link is based on his BOTW form because that Link, while cool isn't as good of a character as my favorite Links, OOT and TP. Both of which I think are massively underappreciated.

Now OOT Link is often discussed in his relation to the tragedy of his story, of a Hero who was never remembered for the great deeds he had done. A boy forced to grow up too fast. But you know what? I wanna focus on the positive parts of his story.

I want to focus on how he is a contrast to Gannondorf, a man who demanded the spiritual stones and was willing to cause the starvation and murder of many guardian duties to do so. By going out of his way to save others.

When his father figured asked him to delve into danger and try to save him that's what he did. When Darunia who probably jokingly asked this 10 year old to slay the Dodongos after he calmed down Link did it without question.

He does this because it's whats needed of him for his quest but also it's to help out the Gorons who need it. And it's clear no one expected him to do it really, but Darunia honors his deal with him and makes Link an honorary Goron brother. He shows that Link, through his care for others and empathy, his willingness to put his neck on the line for others succeeds where Gannondorf fails.

That's a through line we see throughout the game, after Dodongos cavern and into the other temples you are doing quests to save the sages sure, but those are always on the way of saving people associated with those Temples. Link causes Hyrule to flourish and heal itself throughout his journey, he through his need to save people and show his bravery shows off why he's the weilder of the Triforce of Courage. A power that he probably doesn't even need to kick Gannondorfs ass with.

That's something I love about him. This Link is noble, serious but not uptight. He builds bridges and connections wherever he goes because it's the thing he does best. He throws himself into helping people and saving them even if he bearly knows their name because that's just what Link does. That's who this Link is to the core of his character.

Even if he wasn't the chosen one of his story I'd bet anything that Link would still be leading the fight against Gannondorf instead of hiding away in Kakariko because it's safe. He is a character who was always going to be a hero and that's what qualifies him to be the chosen one. Not the other way around.

Wisdom and Courage

if I have kids i’m making them play through the water temple as a punishment

New Friend!

What if LEGO gave us more Links?

Sketchy Inktober 2020 #4) Size comparison with Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Things look a lot smaller in your hometown when you’re older after time traveling.

Link has always been on the short side of characters in Hyrule so why not make him a lot bigger after traveling into the future? His pose was inspired by a sketch that Jockman87 did back when they were still on Tumblr but sadly it seems to be lost in time and the censored purge. But hey. I love how his house came out! It’s my favorite detail I ever added

I pray to a god who does not listen

Drawing some more of my LOZ nonsense. It’s a personal headcanon that Link is aware of his eternal cycle, and knows it was caused by the goddess Hylia. He grows weary, but reigns eternal.

Personally, I like to start my mental timeline with ocarina, but the idea of skyward sword happening and over the ages this great love rotting into something completely other is also pretty interesting to me. This was mostly spawned by the observation that Zelda is more of a held title, a lineage- in BOTW it’s very frequently mentioned that Zelda’s mother was the previous Zelda to hold the title and powers. But with Link he’s usually just a kid. Living with his grandma, among the kokiri, taking up his fathers sword. Link is not a lineage, Link is a person. That’s really neat to me.
