I don’t love how I did his face tbh, I definitely didn’t get the look I was going for, but other than that I’m pretty happy with it! It was supposed to be a concept sketch but obviously I got carried away😅

I tried to give it a bit of a storybook feel, since that’s kind of how Skyward Sword feels to me. (And that’s the only way I know how to draw backgrounds lol) I imagine he’s arriving at a festival or something, and Zelda and Groose are off camera. (Zelda probably did the decorations on his wheels ngl- Sky seems like he’d intend to but wouldn’t get around to it)

Even lying down, pain throbbed throughout his body with every heartbeat. It wasn’t the sharp kind of pain that signaled an injury. This was the dull, fatigued ache he’d come to associate with overworking his body.

“Overworking.” Link scathingly added the sarcastic quotation marks in his head. This time, overworking was walking for two hours, three days in a row. Groose did all the heavy lifting and carried their bags. Zelda mapped out their routes and had her sword in hand, clearing the path of monsters and foliage. Link was there.

They’d hope to make it much farther today. Zelda and Groose could have, if Link hadn’t been there to slow them down. Outside the tent, Zelda and Groose were excitedly talking about their plans for the Surface—plans Link knew he would be around for, but hardly able to help with.

Link tried to stop his thoughts from racing too much. His head was fuzzy and full of fog, and thinking only made everything feel heavier.
