Hiiii! You mentioned in your legend panel redraw that you incorporated your headcanons which I assume are around the jewellery.
What jewellery do you headcanon him with and is it just for aesthetics or does every piece also have a purpose? đź‘€
Hi hi thanks for the ask :D
Just to quickly clarify, when mentioning 'my' headcanons I did mean to include the fact that he has purple eyes (although very popular, it's still a headcanon) and his longer strands of hair… That I do have a reason to draw him with, the Oracle games official art !
look at this DIVA !
But going back on track with your question :
I do always draw/think of him with these type of earrings pieces :
And maybe someone can help me there, but I know I was inspired by artworks that depicted another version of the Hero of Legend (I believe sans ALBW) that got me starry eyed at the earrings the artist drew, but I cannot for the life of me find the artwork. I think I remember it in a lineup with several Link designs ? It was a few years ago tbf, but still, if someone think they know the inspiration I'll be happy to see it again !
(Here are the complete artworks if you're curious too : 1 - 2 - 3)
As you can see, I tend to always draw something different, so for now I don't really have a fixed earring I want him to wear ! (Although the one in the middle up there makes me think multiple chains look cool and I should do that more often hahaha)
I do think if Legend could find a way to make his earrings useful he would ! He wears magic tunics and magic rings after all ! So not really a fixed answer there, sorry, but you definitely are making clogs turn in my brain for later....
Concerning rings, I have one or two answers ! I tend to try to draw as many rings as possible when I get his fingers on frame lmao, but you will often find three rings that are the same :
(these are from the same drawings than the 1st and 3rd earrings pics !)
The first two are from the Oracle games :
The red one is supposed to be the maxed Power Ring ! It increases sword damages, and it just make sense to me that he'd have a strong power-up on him
The green one is the Green Holy Ring, which makes him immune against electricity. I do think that the lightning from Link's Awakening has to be a big trauma for Legend, so he's wearing this one all the time, no exceptions...
Concerning the purple one..... It's a ring for Ravio—
I enjoy both the ship and the headcanon that they'd be platonically married for taxes, and in both case, Legend would wear the ring hahaha ! You can see that in the second drawing I even put it on the wedding finger. I made it purple for obvious reasons, and it has the shape of a rupee (even if I don't always turn it in the same direction oops)
That's it for now, but I definitely will think about it... Although I do believe Legend would enjoy wearing jewellery for aesthetic, he'd definitely be the type to try and hit two birds with one stone and pick them to be useful as well !
I rambled quite a lot, but I do hope you appreciate the answer >:D
