#eoc forge

One of the tiger scrolls in Minish Cap teaches Link how to break rocks by hitting them with a sword. Forge is well aware that the weaponry quality in Archer’s world is less than impressive, but Archer’s complete lack of technique in hitting rocks certainly doesn’t help.

@echoes-of-courage I adore them and I’m very excited to see them in comic :D

Celebrating the FSA anniversary by drawing 4 different Fours from different Links Meet AUs. I’m a day late because I didn’t know that March 18 was the anniversary. I was planning on drawing these guys for a while, several months ago, I just forgot to. Fun fact, the day before the 18th, quite literally the day before, the 17th, I thought, “I should finally draw these guys the day before the FSA anniversary so I can post them on time.” Like. Wtf. So I’ll be making a calendar eventually so I know when all the anniversaries are.

Anyways, some thoughts on the guys:

Four from @linked-maze - His hair is so scruffy, I love it. He’s so optimistic and happy.

Four from @heroesspirit - I didn’t color it in here, but I love his ombré hair, the orange fading into a yellow looks so pretty.

Four from @linkbetweenlinksau This is just devolving into me gushing over the hair. Anyways I love the hair and the little hair tie thingy is SO good. Also love the eyes.

Fun fact: in four swords adventures, you have absolutely no problems going through the Gerudo camp

Forge was today years old when he learned that Gerudo are typically hostile to outsiders (presumably men, but he’s not going to ask questions and expose himself).

… yeah. Yeah the colors are magnetic in FSA. They have magnet gloves and everything. Forge is, uh, not quite suited for Farmer’s era’s goron mines.

Happy Pride!

It is very important to me that everyone knows that, while Vio was the first color to care for Shadow, if you were to split Forge during his time with Shadow post-FSA, Vio would have been the last to fall in love. As for the first color to fall in love… it would be unfair to not say Red, right?

Short(er) hair practice!! Couldn’t get the idea out of my head, and it was surprisingly fun. The note on Artisan is in reference to the CoH post

So I finally played Cadence of Hyrule last week, and I decided for sure that, yeah, Artisan gets to do that after Echoes of Courage. Thank the gods that Collector insisted on teaching Artisan the basics of dancing.

As for why he seems to have gone back to his old design—he gets a haircut at some point (can’t fit the entire braid in that hat, after all) and goes back to his old blacksmithing apprenticeship, just long enough that he will no longer feel like Forge will be disappointed in him, so he’s stuck in his old uniform. This is probably… about 2 years after Echoes of Courage? Maybe?

Also?? Cadence of Hyrule requiring a hibiscus potion to wake up Zelda or Link?? Galaxy brain moment. Sleeping magic smells like hibiscus now.
