Legend Of Zelda Link - Tumblr Posts
bonding over the mutually shared arm <3
New Friend!
*unpopular opinion insert text*
I feel like Breath of the wild was a better game than Tears of the kingdom.
I know. Bold ass statement, but #1 its my opinion, and #2 i know its stupid of me to post about it on the internet, but i want to know if its a shared experience.
With the disclaimer out if the way, lemme explain.
When Breath of the Wild was first released, it was new. New style of gaming for the zelda franchise entirely. New players were being brought to the game, with characters and elements of the games having returning players excited. Game of the year, 2017.
The feel of a brand new game with elements that were just easy enough for the developers and the players wanted more of, inspires master mode. It inspired the first and second wave of the game, with fans wanting more from the era of the wild
So nintendo released our first look at tears of the kingdom, and the fans went nuts. They were excited and absolutely thrilled to see what the new game was going to have. Where was the new game going to be? Will characters return? What happend to the divine beasts ahd sheikah tech?
Well, we were not disappointed to say the least. The skys and depths of hyrule captured our attention and relived the nostalgia of the old games we grew up with, alongside new elements that catered to new fans taste. However something was missing. The feel that breath of the wild had.
The spark was gone.
With breath of the wild, you can restart any time and watch your favorite characters interact one last time. Relieve the era of the wild with the divine beasts and champions, it felt more like you were experiencing the game first hand.
The same feeling pepole went through with Ocarina of time and Majoras mask. After the releases of the biggest games of the franchise, Nintendo had a problem. Where next? Where could we possibly take this series? They tried everything to recapture that spark, until Wind Waker, and Twilight princess. The two games where a brand new map is introduced, and it makes sense.
But aside from my rambling, i digress. Where ever the new zelda game takes us, i hope it lives up to whatever tears of the kingdom failed to capture. Granted definitely Game of the year material, but against breath of the wild, not so sure
Fuck i hate my art but someone else might like it
Old sketch dump from way back in May. Never posted it anywhere else, so special tumblr-only goodies I guess

Inspired by the song by Nathan Evans! A lot of his music fits so well with BotW Link to me
Concept art for BotW includes Link with a guitar, so I headcanon he still knows how to play one even though it was scrapped from the final game

Lil guy momence <3 I draw link how I play him and I play him like a little agent of chaos
There are 11 playable links in the loz, 12 if oracles is actualy his own link, 16 if you count triforce hero's and hyrule legends, and 19 if you count the four swords hero as 4 separate links.
List with games featuring same link grouped:
• Skyward sword
• Minish cap
• Four swords & four swords adventures
• ocarina of time and majora's mask
• twilight princess
• Wind waker & phantom hourglass
• Spirit tracts
• The original loz & the adventure of link
• Link between worlds
• Breath of the wild
• Link to past, oracles, & links awakening
• hyrule legends
• triforce heroes
Explanations of oddities in the counting:
It is possible that the link from oracles is his own hero.
There are 3 heroes in trifoce heros.
The reason why I put triforce heroes and hyrule legends in a separate grouping is due to uncertainty over if they are considered cannon to the loz universe.
-> there is also the hero of 10000 years ago who is mentioned in botw, but has no game.
-> There is also the First Hero from that comic if you want to count him as cannon. (personally I don't. It's not that I don't like him, it's just it conflicts with what I understand the intro to skyward sword is saying.)
So, that would make the current max number of links -if you count all as cannon- to be 21.
Fun note! The four swords link is a lovely example of why the official timeline is worthless. It is more than heavy-handedly implied that it is the same link in the two four swords games.
Considering the people of hyrule's habit of forgetting the hero's name the moment he dies, I find it extremely unlikely that they would mention link by name if it's not the same link. Also considering hyrule's long standing tradition of forgetting about where major big bad evils are sealed, I have very, very, VERY many doubts that they would just happen to have been keeping meticulous track of where a minor wind sorcerer is seald. Need more convincing? So according to the timeline, the minish cap and four swords are right next to each other. By the events of four swords the hero's name from minish cap has been forgotten. Now if the timeline is to be believed, an absurd amount of time and one timeline split later they still remember the story of the four swords perfectly. Yet have no recollection of oot or tp. That doesn't line up. So I'm calling BS on the timeline.
Oh you want more math? Sure thing!
Only counting links that are for sure cannon = 11 links
If oracles is separate link = 12 links
Counting four swords as 4 links = 14 links
FS = 4 links + oracles = 15 link
FS + oracles + hero of 10000 years ago = 16 links
I could go on, but I don't really feel like doing that right now.
I for one think it's an absolute crime that there isn't more art and stories about these two together.
I started this a while ago, so I'm not 100% happy with some of the line work in it, But overall I'm happy with how it came out.
One of these days I'm either going to write a fic or draw comics about a loz botw au where Link purifies a bunch of guardians like he purifies the devine beasts. So it's just Link and his squad of guardians. He starts with some guardian scouts and eventually escalates to a flying guardian and a battalion of guardian stalkers. He names all of them.
Also the idea that Link can customize their glowing pattern colors so eventually he has one for every color of the rainbow.
So a completely absurd concept that had me and my brother wheezing: Link's voice is actually incredibly loud, and his "hyaa!" Is the quietest he can be, if he shouted it would deafen everyone in a mile radius.
Bonus: the hero of the wild forgets this fact due to his amnesia, and accidentally fus ro dah's the first non ghost person he meets.
