☁️ The Cloud Spirit ☁️
[ Day 30: Wild/Untamed ]
From a land of clouds to one of fire, the Cloud Spirit walks on unseen ripples. The force of a thousand souls floats within the air.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #TheSoulKnight #Fanart #Link #OC
Link (from The Soul Knight AU) sits on the back of a giant beast, holding onto its antlers to keep steady. The viewer looks down at this from a raised angle. Link has his eyes tightly closed and his hair is blown back by the surrounding realm of clouds, wind, and blue poe flames. The creature he rides upon is a Satori-like qilin, though the stylization of its eyes more so resembles the dragons of Tears of the Kingdom. It has yellow cloven hooves, five eyes (two on either side and one in the middle), a horselike head with a lion's snout, long golden whiskers, a front horn, and plant-like antlers.

☀️ Morning Walk ☀️
[ Day 29: Link & Epona ]
Every morning, Link makes a round with his new horse. Though, it's unclear if he's trying to make some sales for his father or if he just wants to show her off. Perhaps he can't remember.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #WiltingHeart #Fanart #Epona
Link (from Wilting Heart AU) leads Epona on a walk outside. Epona seems to be a very young horse, and has white speckles on her body as opposed to her canon counterparts. She has a floral-patterned blanket on her back and pink reins. Link looks on ahead with a smile as he gently guides her along. In the foreground are branches and bushes they pass by, and in the background a tree, a distant flag, and a wall.

🌑 Bringer of Despair 🌑
[ Day 27, 28: Species, Mask ]
Among those summoned to find them, Despair is the greatest threat. The one thing they know for certain is that they are not ready for it. But has it not been here all along?

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #ImmimentDarkness #Fanart #OC
Link and Zelda (from Imminent Darkness AU) hide behind a broken wall in the right corner of the composition. Link holds out one arm in front of Zelda to signal her to stay still, while she holds a hand over her mouth to keep quiet. The two's eyes seem to have a purple tint because or their surroundings. Behind the little wall in the corner is what they hide from: Despair, a blob-shaped demon in purple cloaks. Its face looks like a deformed boar skull, molded into a face mask. A yellow streak of light flows behind it from its eye, indicating movement. Behind it is pink fire that engulfs the area.

🌾 The Common Girl 🌾
[ Day 26: Zelda ]
It is a cloudy day in the fields. Though towards the mountains the sky seems to clear, it looks like rain.

Still, the mark that has appeared upon her hand is much more cause for concern.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #AscendtheThrone #Fanart #Zelda
Zelda (from Ascend the Throne AU) stands on the right side of the composition, holding a bundle of rice under her arm. Her hand that shields the front of it has the mark of the Triforce burnt onto it, but she instead stares up at the sky in thought. Behind her is a low, thin fence; and behind that fence is a rice paddy. A few silhouettes are visible beside the strokes representing distant crops. There are mountains further back.

❄️ A King's Final Wish ❄️
[ Day 22: Frozen ]
You can't afford to freeze. Run.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #TheMage'sLantern #Fanart #Ganon #Zelda #Ganondorf
Zelda (from The Mage's Lantern on ao3) is cut off running in the foreground, her hair flowing beyond her and resembling fide in shape. She cries and tries to fight it away, tears trailing behind her. Also in the foreground is the wall of the doorway she escapes from. Behind her is a chamber filled with chilled mist. Ganondorf is hunched over, his hair alight with fire in rage as he watches Zelda's escape — stopped only from pursuing her by an unseen gaping wound that sent him kneeling. Behind him, the King of Hyrule weakly hunches forward. The only thing stopping him from falling forward is the formation of ice encasing his lower body.

🎶 First Duet 🎶
[ Day 21: Music ]
Lya let him borrow her ocarina before the festival. Though he picked it up fast, he couldn't help but have this odd feeling the whole time he played... Maybe her singing was just distracting him!

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #StoneFate #Fanart #Zelda
Drawn in a soft, children's book art style, Link (from Stone Fate on ao3) sits on a stump and plays a blue ocarina. Lya stands beside him and sings. They are looked at from above, framed by painterly branches of a tree.

Puppeteered Husks
[ Day 20, 23: Broken, Echo ]
The blights, once Hyrule's light, bring fire and blood. To defeat them is to get one step closer towards vengeance, but to reach them is to fulfill her clan's final goal.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #StringsofDarkness #Fanart #Zelink #Impa
Impa (from Strings of Darkness AU) stands in the foreground, blade at the ready. She looks back over her shoulder towards rolling pink-and-red flames. Hovering overhead is Dark Link, with one arm relaxed and folded behind his head and the other around Puppet Zelda's waist. His dark cape flows out behind him much like Zelda's dull hair. Puppet Zelda reaches out an arm infected by gloom, with golden veins poking through, as if daring Impa to come closer.

Prince of the New Line
[ Day 19: Link ]
Link is the prince of Hyrule, centuries after the old throne was toppled. Though he is at odds with his adoptive father, the Interim King, he is set to— wait, something isn't right here...

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #AscendtheThrone #Fanart #Link
Link (from Ascend the Throne AU) leans against a castle wall high overhead. Banners in the foreground draw the viewer's eye to him, standing between them. He looks off towards something unseen, obscured by the banner to the viewer's right. Towers and more walls go back into the distance behind him, as well as little blots that mark trees in the courtyard far below. Link's outfit is regal, with golden pauldrons, a white cape, and designs reminiscent of BotW's Royal Guard uniform.

🎉 Encouragement! 🎉
[ Day 17, 18: Korok, Dance ]
The Koroks celebrate every little sprout that begins in their forest. With a collaborative dance, they encourage it to grow its very best!

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths ##WiltingHeart #Fanart #Korok #Koroks
A ring of Koroks (designed for Wilting Heart AU) dance around a little sprout in the center. The sprout curls over itself, as though it was struggling to grow but is finally pushing through. The shape of pea-like plants and grass cut through the foreground as dark silhouettes. The two koroks the viewer is facing have flowers blossoming from their heads, and the one on the right even has extra leaves sprouting. Swirls and music notes flow between each korok to indicate the music.

👗 Fabric Trade 👗
[ Day 16: Merchant ]
Oshi is a kind, flashy trader from beyond Hyrule who was stranded by the Silver Tempest. She was famous back home, but now she simply wanders to find people in need of her stock.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #TheMage'sLantern #Fanart #Anouki
Zelda (from The Mage's Lantern on ao3) sits on her knees in the snow to receive a small, folded selection of fabric that is handed to her by Oshi, a short Anouki with green antlers and a large backpack. They both smile, enthusiastic about the transaction. Behind them, Link sort of stares off as he tightens his rupee bag. Perhaps he's imagining what they could use the fabric for? Thin remains of shrubs poke out in the foreground on the right, and of a tree in the background on the left. Distant mountains can also be seen behind them.

🧊 Beneath the Ice 🧊
[ Day 15: Underwater ]
As a storm swept over Hyrule, the caverns of the Zora were sealed in ice. Those who were in the lake were only trapped, but there is no telling what fate befell those above the domain.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #TheMage'sLantern #Fanart #Zora
Prince Aquame (from The Mage's Lantern on ao3) floats beneath thick icy surface. It seems dark, as most of his lower body becomes obscured. Small bubbles dance around him. Aquame is a dark blue Zora with a crown like a narwhal horn and seashells. His side flippers are shaped more like seal fins, and his eyes and whiskers are also seal like. He wears salmon designs on ribbons as well as various fishing-gear styled jewlery.

🌱 The Cursed Garden Statue 🌱
[ Day 14: Statue ]
Tearing itself free from a fragile seal, the beast returns to its old vessel — one no longer capable of containing it. Its body is broken, but it will have to do.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #WiltingHeart #Fanart #HornedStatue #Demise
The horned statue (from Wilting Heart AU) gazes upon its claw, which is held out in the foreground of the composition. Its other claw clutches its face, covering a empty carved eye. Just above is a crack shaped like Demise's sealing scar in Skyward Sword. Chains wrap around the creature's two horns and around its body, some even going behind its wings. Cracks run through its body, which somewhat resembles a demonic Hylia. Ivy also pokes into the upper half of the composition, implying the Statue awakens in a garden.

❄️ Fading into Snow ❄️
[ Day 13: Village ]
Though the battle to save Darune was already won, there was no telling how many were to follow. As they made their way out into the greater storm, home grew further and further away...
#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #TheMage'sLantern #Fanart #Zelink
Zelda and Link (from The Mage's Lantern on ao3) ride on a the edge of a wagon next to a bundle of hay. The wind is strong, blowing snow past them. Zelda's hair flows behind her, as does Link's scarf. Link stares downward. In the distance behind them, his home village is visible: the homes, the smoke rolling from their chimneys, the lanterns; and most of all, the faint silhouettes of those bidding them farewell.

🔥 Impa's ally, Sahasrahla 🔥
[ Day 12: Obscure Character ]
A skilled rune user, Sahasrahla is consulted to perform "spells." He is enthusiastic about teaching, but people always seem to catch him at a bad time.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #TheMage'sLantern #Fanart #Impa #Sahasrahla
Sahasrahla, or "Soursop," (from The Mage's Lantern on ao3) leans onto a long wooden table. He taps the side of his chin with a raised hand while gazing the opposite direction, deep in thought. He wears a pair of round glasses, the shape of an owl's eyes, and has an angular version of the Sheikah crest tattooed on his forehead. His fingers are bony, his nails painted, and his clothes resemble that of the Sheikah in BotW. Behind him, Impa passes by distant glowing structures chained from the roof and sets a hand on his shoulder. The "banners" from her kasa sway outward to show her movement. Her face is cut off by the top of the composition.

💭 Nightmarish Attack! 💭
[ Day 11: Nightmare ]
Lost within his close friend's dream and in the form of a rabbit, Link finds the first nightmare. Suddenly, he's rescued by a familiar girl! But she says her name is... Marin?

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #DreamSpinner #Fanart #Marink #TLoZ
Marin (from The Dream Spinner AU) holds up a golden bubble-shaped barrier on one knee. One of her hands is held ready at her side, whereas the other seems to produce the barrier with a glowing palm. Behind her, Link, in rabbit form, looks up at her in surprise and wonder. He wears a cloak that is too big for his small form. The two are framed by a dark, flame-like entity that stretches across the barrier and tries to consume them. The left side of the composition seems to have its maw carved out of it, and its hand on the right side also seems to have an open mouth.

🧵 Fitting 🧵
[ Day 10: Tunic ]
As careless as Link is, he manages to go through tunics fast... He's going to need something new! Something sturdy — but stylish, too, of course.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #ThePrincess'sHeart #Fanart #Zelink #TLoZ #LoZ #Zelda
Zelda gets Link's (from The Princess's Heart on ao3) measurements for his new tunic. Link holds up one arm over his head to give her room and gazes away, clearly blushing from the proximity. Zelda reaches measuring tape around his waist, seeming focused but in a pleasant mood. A small music note near her head indicates she is humming. Above her, a thought cloud displays Link's signature tunic as she plans for it. The picture is a redraw of an old doodle. The background is a basic rose wallpaper pattern.

💙 Curious Creatures 💙
[ Day 9: Blupee ]
The one thing a cute, fluffy spirit is not prepared for is a curious child who can actually pull them out of invisibility...

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #ThePrincess'sHeart #Fanart #Blupee #Link #TLoZ #LoZ #Zelda
Link (from The Princess's Heart on ao3) hugs a blupee close to him and is surrounded by others. He is a lot younger here, and his expression is curious and somewhat dazed as if he was caught wandering off to play with them. Stylized trees with pink blossoms frame the top of the composition and stretch out into the background, and tall grass frames the front.

🌟 From One Soul to Another 🌟
[ Day 8: Healing ]
The battle is growing dire, and Link more reckless. If it weren't for her power, he would be dead. Why must he suffer for her? She lends him her light so that he will not fall now.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #EraofMalice #Fanart #Zelink
Link and Zelda (from Era of Malice AU) take shelter beneath a cliffside. Link's armor and cape are cast aside to reveal a gaping open wound on his torso. Though a fairy lingers nearby, Zelda's power is still required to fight back an infection of Malice. She glows pure gold as she hovers her Triforce-marked hand over her wound. In the distance, dust rolls against a red sky and obscures Impa who keeps watch.

🌟 Holding On 🌟
[ Day 7: Undead ]
There was nothing left but a flicker and a sense of what was left of her. He could have sworn he felt the warmth of her hand. But that didn't matter — he was going to keep it close at all costs.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #TheSoulKnight #Fanart #Zelink
Link (Soul Knight AU) holds a golden poe between his hands. He looks down on it with a titled head and grieving expression, and his hair has been turned a glowing white by the cyan poe flames around him. From the golden poe, the outline of a small worm dragon wraps around him. A fainter outline, that of the soul dragon's true self, Princess Zelda, can be vaguely seen embracing him as though to comfort him. This version is paler, with less contrast, to feel more dead.

🪶 Practice Voyage 🪶
[ Day 6: Travel/Transport ]
If they were going to take such a vast voyage, they'd need to know how to navigate the sea. One of them seemed much more accustomed, so they chose to start small.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #JourneysBeyondHyrule #Fanart #Zelink
A small row boat bobs in the sea close to the shore. Rocks mark the center edge od the composition, with seagulls flying across the lower foreground. In the middle-ground, center, Link and Zelda (from my Journeys Beyond Hyrule AU) ride the row boat. Link holds his hand up against the light to see what is ahead, an oar in his other hand, and Zelda leans over the boat's edge to take in the sea breeze. The mid-morning sun hovers low to the waters behind them.

🩷 Last Dance 🩷
[ Day 5: Love ]
That dance was one he would never forget: the last one they would have as who they were. The last time he could rely on her to take the lead. How fleeting of a moment — yet so, so wonderful.

#Linktober #LegendofZelda #UntoldMyths #ThePrincess'sHeart #Fanart #Zelink
Zelda and Link (from The Princess's Heart on ao3) dance in a golden ballroom in formal attire. Zelda is notably the one leading the dance. Behind them are the distant, blurred figures of other dancers in front of the wall. The wall is lined with tall windows and crimson curtains.
