Happy Easter!

It’s a bit of a mishmash of Hyrule Warriors Link with some ALBW/ALTTP references.

Continuing my take on Alttp Link & Zelda with... more sketches.

All my zelda photocards! I finished them a while ago, but figured I should post them all together.

I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY! you are all super cool, amazing, and incredibly talented!!!!!!! no, not someone else, you 🫵. <3

but um. i’m not mad at all, i’m just trying to maybe help calm this fandom down a bit. can we please stop the fanon vs. canon arguing?? or dissing others because they ‘haven’t played the games’?

i’ve tried to stay out of this. but when i search #linked universe, it pains me to see my dear fandom and fellow friends upset. this has been weighing on me. i’m not usually this serious, as those who know me probably recognize.

heacanons are amazing. headcanons are cool. i want to be able to headcanon that Hyrule is a sweet lil bean and Wind is a chaotic lil sailor pirate boy without being flamed, but recently we’ve been dissing each others’ headcanons. just because you disagree with someone’s headcanon does not mean you can ‘correct’ them or tell them it’s a bad headcanon. they love the blorbos too. in the nicest way possible, mind your own business please.

second, let’s not diss people for ‘not playing the games’. for example, i haven’t beaten Link’s Awakening. does that mean i can’t write Legend/Marin angst? no, of course i can write Legend/Marin angst, i love writing that! or even simpler, i’ve seen just straight up teasing, bullying, or saying someone’s ‘not a true fan’ because they haven’t beaten all the games. again, in the nicest way possible, this is ridiculous; not everyone can afford to beat all the games and not everyone has the time to beat all the games. from what i’ve seen, it seems almost like some people won’t be satisfied until the person they’re conversing with has 100%ed all the games— again, a crazy expectation. i personally don’t care if you’ve played all 21 canon games or none at all and you barely know anything about Zelda; i will treat you with kindness and respect, and i really hope others would do the same. shouldn’t we be trying to be kind and encourage new fans to enter the fandom?

everyone, please consider this your wakeup call. and please stop arguing. <3

again, i love you all dearly, and this fandom is the best thing that has ever happened to me. but please consider what i have to say <3

“Din dang it, captain,” and maybe Wars was trying for subtlety, but Legend can’t be arsed, spinning about to stare at the man himself, “what’s got your scarf up in such a twist?” […] “Legend,” War’s hand on his shoulder feels way too cautious, “your hair-”    “My freaking hair? Seriously?” Who even cares about his hair? What the dickens is so big a deal?    “Legend,” and this time it’s Sky, slow, quiet, rattled looking, “your hair is turning white.”   And with those few simple words, he goes from incredibly unsettled to incredibly flushed, enough so that he can feel his ears and face flood over with burning scarlet.   Twilight, across camp, throws his head back and starts freaking cackling.  [x]
