Happy 40th Anniversary, The Legend of Zelda!! ✨🧚🏼‍♀️💖💣🔺

A very happy 40th anniversary to my favourite video game series, The Legend of Zelda!

February 21st, 1986 was the release date of the first game in the series. I decided to make a piece directly celebrating this first instalment.

The Legend of Zelda has made a positive impact on me. From fun memories, motivation to improve my art, and most of all, to the amazing friendships I've made in our mutual love for the series!

@tommy-macks To be honest I don't have a very deep reason. I always found the lore around him funny. Like, upon Hyrule being overrun by Ganon, Zelda orders Impa to flee and find help and she just stumbles upon this kid who helps chase away Ganon's monsters, tells him what happened, and Link just go "yeah okay sure, I'll go save this princess and stop this monster." And then he enters a cave and there's an old man there that just gives him a random sword and he's good to go! Like this is the ultimate version of "unassuming kid that gets swept up in a grand adventure". Though, to be fair, the lore around Zelda 1 is that the world outside Hyrule is bleak and overrun by monsters and constant warfare, and that the only reason Hyrule is protected is because of the power of the Triforce (which is why Ganon wants it). So this Link may just be used to a world in constant conflict and thus has built up the skill and fortitude to survive it. I suppose another reason I am endeared to this Link is that he lives in this very bleak world yet he is still very selfless. I mean look at this:

Literal random kid. Also did you know classic Link merch is hard to find? Crazy I know right? But I do have these two little guys:

before recently i would have said epona or the cows or even the keaton but now i definitively think it's the blue dog. i was actually making a post about how the blue dog metatextually represents what majora's mask is as a story. i was trying to word it better but i'll just copy paste it

-

i get emotional about the majora's mask blue dog. because trying over and over, even several thousand times, for even a miniscule chance that you can figure out how to help this little down on his luck underdog win a race is what the whole game is about.

4- what is your favorite link design, and 5- what Id your fav Zelda design?

Btw I LOVE your art style so much

4. Favorite Link design:

Classic Link my beloved 😍 his design is so simple but also exudes adventure energy. TP Link is a close second 💚

5. Favourite Zelda design:

Ocarina of Time Zelda 🩷 I always found her to be so elegant. This was my first loz game too, so she holds a special place in my heart 🩷
