#drawsha

lost in the trans judai sauce or as i like to call it, the yuki fudo au 

transcription of all notes under the cut

i finally finished playing spirit tracks and my life has changed for the better anyway here’s some link and zelda as i imagine them to be when they’re older or like an au redesign i guess. they’re both 16 in this drawing because the thought of link possibly being 12 years old and a licensed train engineer fills me with unspeakable dread. notes and other thoughts under the cut! 

im sorry i love talking abt my designs but i dont wanna make this post too lengthy. anyway as for choices i made 

first of all the actual redesigns are kinda based on my disappointment with how the spirit tracks link and zelda share the designs of ww/ph link and zelda like i know the game was recycled from its predecessor but zelda here is so unique i think she deserves a more distinct design! this extends to minish cap as well btw since that design is also the same but i digress

so for zelda im disappointed in myself for giving up on that little uhh banner? on her skirt like the actual design is very nice and complex but i am very unskilled when it comes to fine details and spending any long amounts of time trying to redo the details would have killed me emotionally so we’re left with a shitty looking half assed piece of cloth. why am i posting this again? 

of course link is easy to explain, its just his engineer outfit which i absolutely adore. for the body coloring of both of them i tried to imagine how their hair and skin might change as they age. since link’s train is open to the outside world i gave him a tan and slightly lighter sunbleached hair. zelda most likely spends most of her time in the castle and thus is slightly more pale, however i took some creative liberties and decided that following the whole being a ghost and also having her body be host to the literal devil it had some side effects on her appearance. shes permanently a little more pale and her hair straight up turns white. the hair color change i mostly made just to differentiate between link and zelda more since they’re almost often both blondes and i wanted to mix up the formula 

a lot of zeldas outfit is a bit simplified but i made her belt have triangular shapes to mimic the design of the actual spirit tracks bc uhhhh i think think that would be cool 

i love one (1) capitalist
