Uhhhh more doodles, I love Legend and Ravio but I don’t draw Ravio enough. the design of Wind belongs to @mmmwafflesart, I just really like the idea of Redead Wind. Oh and the one of the Legend designs belong to Sheepa on discord, idk if they have a tumbler.
Your telling me you've never heard of Etra from the awakener of breezes?
Shame
I was thinking a lot about Wind Waker, and how it would look in a more detailed style, particularly Princess Zelda's gown!
But then, in every sketch I did leading up to the final drawing, she ended up looking so sad... so after the final I drew her nice and happy as Tetra! Hang in there girl!
Holy SHIT

i very much would love to hear you talk about windwaker,, like just anything about it no specific questions just go crazy (maybe about the game storyline or where it is in the tloz timeline or how the characters differ, just anything at all)
My brain has been activated so here's the explanation of the timeline leading up to Wind Waker and including the events of Wind Waker bc it is so cool to me. Warning for a REEEALLY long post!
If you'd like to know my sources, it's all from the games themselves, and the Hyrule Historia / Hyrule Encyclopedia books! Also 14-year-long brainrot.
------------
So in Ocarina of Time (yes that's a different game trust me), there are 2 possible outcomes. (Btw OOT/MM Link is the Hero of TIME and WW/PH Link is the Hero of WINDS. They all have different labels!)
In one of those outcomes, Link loses to Ganon and Hyrule is taken over. In this timeline, labeled the "failure timeline", zora are still fish people, but they attack and are enemies to Hyrule. There is also no Ganondorf (the human version), only Ganon (the monster version, which was made once Ganondorf used the Triforce) and he's like a walking, talking conscious pig for the most part. He won as Ganon in OOT, so why go back to being human you know? There are other big bads in some of those games but I don't have that timeline as memorized as the rest of the timeline(s).
The other outcome is what you see in the game, Link winning and Ganon being sealed in a pocket void in the Sacred Realm. Zelda sends Link back in time after defeating Ganon to let him live the childhood he missed, making this one outcome of the fight split into 2 other timelines.
One of them is Link's perspective, where he goes off the find Navi after she flies off at the end of OOT and the Hero of Time dies in Majora's Mask during his search. In this timeline, labeled the "child timeline", zora are still FRIENDLY fish people, and there is both a human Ganondorf and a Ganon that takes the form of a wild, more animalistic boar.
The other is the timeline Zelda now finds herself in. The Hero of Time defeated Ganon, sure, but now Hyrule is left without a hero. The Triforce of Courage is broken into 8 pieces because of Link's displacement in time. This is the "adult timeline" and where Wind Waker takes place.
Somehow, Ganondorf, the same one from OOT and now returned to his human form, was able to get back Hyrule and sought out the Triforce again. Its citizens prayed for the Hero of Time to come back, but he literally can't. King Daphnes gave up hope for the Hero of Time to return and left the fate of his kingdom in the hands of the gods.
The gods (Farore, Nayru and Din, the creators of the planet and Triforce) responded by telling the citizens to run to the mountains and flooding the kingdom, sealing away King Daphnes and Ganondorf (now only referred to as Ganon even tho he's human again?) with it. Princess Zelda (Tetra's mother) escaped to the surface with a chunk of the Triforce and passed it along to her child, who lived to be a pirate captain and wore it as a necklace.
Centuries pass and the Ganondorf underwater dies and is resurrected above the ocean (pretend I explained why he, Zelda, and Link keep being resurrected here), and one of his first acts was killing the Earth and Wind sages (Loruto the zora and Fado the kokiri), whose prayers help give the Master Sword its power. He also sent out one of his main minions, the Helmaroc King, to search for girls with pointed ears (anyone who could potentially be Princess Zelda / a royal descendant, and therefore holder of the Triforce.)
At this point in time, the zora and kokiri no longer exist. They had to evolve to adapt to the now flooded kingdom, and are now known as rito (bird people) and koroks (tree people).
(Before you ask why the zora evolved from fish people to bird people when Hyrule was flooded, the water was poisoned. Ganondorf even notes before the first of the two final battles that Hyrule's ocean "yields no fish to catch", despite being so massive. It should be noted that in Phantom Hourglass - the direct sequel to Wind Waker where Tetra and Link travel beyond Hyrule's ocean to establish a new kingdom - there is a fishing minigame. Fish do exist here, but it was impossible for them to exist in Hyrule's ocean. The kokiri just evolved over time.)
King Daphnes, dead for a long time now, puts his spirit into a boat, naming himself The King of Red Lions and searching for anyone who even had the potential to be the next hero. He eventually finds (Wind Waker) Link - who is on a mission to get his sister back from the Helmaroc King, and by association, Ganondorf (she had pointed ears, and was taken because she was potentially related to the royal family based on this characteristic).
The King gives up on his search for the hero of legend and asks Link to help him defeat Ganondorf, both to save Hyrule and to ensure his sister's safety. The two set out on a mission for Link to gather the 3 pearls representing the goddesses, meeting the deities that protect them, and seeing the effects of Ganondorf's growing power. Once he gathered all 3 pearls, Link gained access to the Tower of the Gods and proved himself worthy to enter the sunken kingdom of Hyrule, which is frozen in time.
Link gets the Master Sword, which is basically only a sword from being dormant so long and the Earth and Wind sages being... you know, dead. Hyrule quickly comes back to life since the Master Sword acted as a seal on the kingdom, and Link goes back to where his sister is held captive to fight Ganondorf again. Tetra, having met Link in the beginning of the game, makes sure all the captured girls are sent home safely and runs to help Link in his confrontation against Ganondorf. She fails, and Ganondorf realizes Tetra was the royal descendant he was looking for. They escape and return to Hyrule together to get some answers.
The King of Red Lions reveals himself to be King Daphnes to the children, and puts Tetra's remaining piece of the Triforce of Wisdom together with his. Tetra is given royal garb (and a new skin tone for some reason...) and realizes she is the next Princess Zelda. She's told to wait in the Master Sword's chamber until Link returns the Master Sword's power and gathers the broken pieces of the Triforce of Courage scattered across Hyrule, since they believed she would be safe in the castle's basement.
Link awakens Medli the rito and Makar the korok as the next Earth and Wind sages (each one obviously matching their descendants), and returns the Master Swords full power. With the 8 pieces of the Triforce of Courage back together, he returns to the sunken kingdom and Ganondorf reveals he has taken Zelda. Link breaks the seal preventing him from leaving the sunken kingdom with the Master Sword, and goes to fight Ganondorf.
After fighting a few of Ganondorf's minions, Link gains arrows of light, which would be used to fight against Ganondorf in both final battles.
Ganondorf - now seen with a Zelda who is dead asleep - gives Link one last test to prove that he is, in fact, the next hero of legend and would definitely have the Triforce of Courage. He knocks Link unconscious and takes both Zelda's and Link's Triforce pieces to bring Hyrule back to the surface and gain control.
King Daphnes steps in, and wishes for Hyrule to be washed away, and for the children (Link and Zelda) to be given hope and a future. The final seal on the kingdom, keeping it from being submerged in water, gives way. The kingdom begins to flood and be destroyed, not just be left trapped underwater. Link and Zelda wake up and team up against Ganondorf to kill him for good - which they do to the point that he just straight up doesn't reincarnate in that timeline anymore. (In Spirit Tracks, when Link and Zelda have already reincarnated, Ganondorf does not.)
Link and Zelda vow to the King that they would form a new kingdom, and are returned to the surface. Zelda is returned to Tetra, and King Daphnes' spirit finally dies. The game ends with Link, Tetra, and Tetra's pirate crew saying goodbye to Link's family and sailing off to find a place far, far away to build a new kingdom.

Incredible, how dare you weaponize my love of sassy little shits against me? My two favs from these groups! Genius!
Every Zelda has a favorite Link (excluding their own). Tetra’s is Legend :)

(Info: Tetra’s thinking of the King of Red Lions, an old friend who could turn into a small sailboat. Legend is thinking of the first sailboat he crashed and how it led him to Marin.)
