#zelda #legendofzelda #zeldaAU #lozAU
A digital painting of Impa and Zelda from the artist’s Legend of Zelda au, Cycle of the Stars. Both women are seated in a torchlit study containing a wooden desk and single chair; with Zelda seated in the chair at the table, poring over documents, and Impa seated on the floor with her back resting on the chair leg. Impa gazes up at Zelda fondly, who is turned away deep in thought. The color scheme of the room is defined by the warm gold of the torchlight paired with deep crimson and midnight blue. The background of the study houses a full bookshelf, large window with a seat below that is home to several stacks of paper, and many more sheets of paper and scrolls littering the floor in small piles throughout the room.

i made an age of imprisonment au design for my self insert on a whim
A digitally painted fullbody reference of the artist’s self insert character for Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment. They wear brown sandals that go up their entire legs, a white waist wrap with turquoise details, brown leather bracers, and a plain piece of light turquoise fabric over one shoulder. On their left arm is an armband made from a piece of the Link construct. Their hair is short, and dark brown with teal ends.

cropped ver. the zoom gives the piece a different vibe entirely
A zoomed in version of the above painting. A young Link from Ocarina of Time runs excitedly across a green field, pointing at something ahead, and laughing and chatting animatedly with Navi. She trails behind him, her panicked expression evident by a pair of exclamation points that she emotes.

Linktober 4: Nostalgia/Haunted

#zelda #legendofzelda #linktober #ocarinaoftime
A digital painting of the Hero’s Shade from Twilight Princess, holding up his shield flat like a landscape, watching his younger self, a young Link from Ocarina of Time, run across the green fields upon the surface, laughing and pointing excitedly to Navi as she trails behind him. The Hero’s Shade looms in the background, almost fading into the misty negative space around him.

#zelda #legendofzelda #totk #tearsofthekingdom
A digital painting of Link from Tears of the Kingdom, corrupted by malice. His right hand has been replaced by a Gloom Hand, and many other Gloom Hands enemies stare at Link from the background and grasp at Link’s body. Link is turned fully forward to face the viewer, and holds his corrupted right hand up to his face, covering his right eye with the outward facing palm of his hand, which itself features a vertical yellow eye. His other eye is piercing and wide, the only spot of blue in the otherwise completely red canvas. Link wears no clothes, and the many scars on his body are fully visible. His body is gradually covered more and more by malice towards his lower torso.

An alternate version of the Echoes of Wisdom fanart in the post above, featuring a zoomed-out crop. Zelda and Dohna embrace each other in the foreground, underneath the shade of a palm tree in Gerudo Town. Other buildings from the town can be seen in the background.

Linktober 5: Love/Trees

#zelda #legendofzelda #linktober #echoesofwisdom
A digital painting of Zelda and Dohna from Echoes of Wisdom. They sit together on one of the patches of grass in Gerudo Town, clasping each other’s arms and leaning close to press their foreheads together, gazing into each other’s eyes. The women are shaded by a large palm tree, with leaves hanging down over the top right corner of the image. Tri hovers above their shoulders. In the background, some of the teal-roofed buildings of the town can be seen, along with a couple resident Gerudo going about their daily lives.

Linktober 3: Flames/Ganondorf

#zelda #legendofzelda #linktober #ocarinaoftime
A digital painting of Ocarina of Time’s Ganondorf, standing amid red flames on a black void. A textbox overlay at the bottom of the painting reads: “Some time ago, before the King of Hyrule unified this country, there was a fierce war in our world.” The painting is a direct reference to two different game cutscenes, with the first being the flashback/expository scene in Ocarina of Time containing the same passage; and the second being the cutscene in Final Fantasy 7 where Sephiroth turns to the viewer amid the flames of burning Nibelheim.

Linktober 2: Secret/Sorcery

#zelda #legendofzelda #linktober #ocarinaoftime
A digital painting of Sheik from Ocarina of Time. He looks to the right of the canvas, having completed his transformation from Zelda, standing tall as the mark of his previous life is burned away. Strands of long golden hair separate and blur into the background to form a halo for Sheik’s short haircut, interspersed with white wrappings from his disguise as a member of the Sheikah clan— as well as a single gold triforce earring. Other pink, purple, and blue fabrics from Zelda’s dress are torn away and melt into the background, revealing Sheik’s body. He holds his arms in front of his torso, almost defensive but framed instead to display his chest, complete with top surgery scars.

Cycle of the Stars Dark Link 🩸

#zelda #legendofzelda #zeldaAU #lozAU
A digitally painted reference sheet for the artist’s original version of Dark Link from their Legend of Zelda AU, Cycle of the Stars. The reference sheet shows the character from different angles and includes written details and design notes. Dark Link is depicted as an amalgamation of decayed flesh in a malformed humanoid shape. Their skin is a deep navy, thinly stretched over exaggerated muscle and bone; and they have long silver hair that hangs down over glowing red eyes that cover their scalp on the left side. Thin, interlaced fingers cover their mouth and all the way down their chest, growing out of the skin to either side of the orifice. One of the images on the sheet depicts what Dark Link looks like when they open their fingers, revealing a long, vertical maw through their neck and chest; containing myriad misaligned teeth and one more larger red eye. They wear no clothing, though one image shows Dark Link wearing a navy blue cloak with hood, under which guise they appear almost Hylian from a distance.

Cycle of the Stars Impa 👁️

#zelda #legendofzelda #zeldaAU #lozAU
The artist’s original design for Impa from their Legend of Zelda original story, Cycle of the Stars; laid out in a reference sheet showing the character from multiple angles as well as a breakdown of her clothing. The design depicts a tall woman of dark skin and ice white hair, with a sharp expression. She wears a sleeveless navy blue bodysuit with a high collar, and wide navy pants. A wide blue striped belt is placed over the ensemble, tied in place with a bright red strip of cloth. Red talismans hang at her waist. Over the outfit, Impa wears a red and orange cape in the rough shape of an eye, with the curved portion of the eye serving as the collar and long, triangular “eyelashes” hanging down at the back. Impa’s long hair hangs down in front of her right eye, but is tied up into a small bun in back— the left side of her head is shaved to display crimson Sheikah tattoos in the shape of an eye.

gift art for @otterforwater.bsky.social of her fierce deity link design~
#zelda #legendofzelda #Majora’sMask
A digital painting of bsky user @/otterforwater ‘s redesign of Fierce Deity Link. He stands holding one arm to his chest; floating above his outstretched fingers is a small, blue and green gem. Fierce Deity Link wears his familiar chestplate, but it is accented with a half tunic thrown over one shoulder, and gold pauldrons on the other. His silver hair is mid length, and settles around his shoulders, complemented by bright red tassel earrings and partially tied up in a half ponytail behind his head. Link’s pupil-less eyes stare down at the gem in his fingers, seemingly deep in thought. A bright silver and gold moon adorns the night sky behind him. The piece is painted in primarily pale cyan colors.

+ alternate crop & the dumbass sketch i did for it on my phone lol

#zelda #legendofzelda #linktober2025
An alternate crop of the above painting, focusing closer in on Link and cutting out the majority of the other knights. The artist’s hastily drawn sketch for the piece, painted on a phone, which appears only as blobs of purple and orange on a lavender background to give the impression of figures illuminated in sunset.

#Linktober 1: Knight/Despair
A digital painting of Link from Breath of the Wild, wearing his Hyrulian knight armor and standing in formation with a crowd of other knights. The scene is implied to take place before BotW’s calamity. The other knights’ faces are obscured by their visors, with only Link’s left eye being visible as a bright, burning blue. The scene is heavily lit by warm lighting from the left. The spears held by the force of knights run the height of the canvas, giving the impression of prison bars.

Cycle of the Stars Ganondorf 🪷

#zelda #legendofzelda #zeldaAU #lozAU
A digitally painted reference sheet for the artist’s original version of Ganondorf, complete with written design notes. The tall, well muscled man has long red hair swept back from his face and tied at the bottom with a gold clasp behind his back. A shorter section of hair sits in a braid on his left shoulder. Ganondorf wears a long, dark teal skirt; slit up the front on the right side and patterned with gold water lily leaves and a large colored lotus flower at the bottom of the fabric. The top of the skirt meets a golden metal corset around Ganondorf’s waist, inset with a larger fuschia gemstone and a smaller turquoise one. A wide teal sash is thrown over his left shoulder, culminating in a patterned train behind his back. He wears a collection of gold jewelry, including necklaces, bracers, armband, and crown & circlet combination.

[ i see your face everywhere. ]

[ it looks like mine ]
A digital painting of the artist’s Elden Ring Tarnished character, drawn multiple times in the same composition. The primary figure has his back turned to the viewer, walking away in an ethereal pale teal dress that leaves the scars on his back visible. Thistle flowers adorn the left side of the canvas. A stylized dark grey archway takes up the majority of the background, through which is visible a golden light with three more figures fading through. The largest face hovers at the top of the archway, and his single visible eye stares directly at the viewer. The other two figures, visible only from the shoulders up, stare each other down in combat; with the figure in back being the only one of the two whose face can be seen.
