He fetched the ball. What a good boy.

Twilight just rips Poe should out with his teeth, though.

The View Between — a depths au mini comic

Day 3- "flames "

Featuring lyrics from Noah Kahan "The View Between Villages".

I survived that workweek. Somehow. 😮‍💨 & finally got a day off.

I was thinking of doing a little good news, art therapy thing today, work on that Hero of Bombs series, but first! In honor of Ingo exploring the Depths with Link, I’m very proud to share the lore accurate (for HoB), completed map of the Depths! \878/

As I’ve shared in that recent string of comics, the Depths is pitch black & the map is empty until you activate the Light Roots. This is the very first time I went & found each one! There’s a lot of danger down there - all that purple you see are Gloom that can “break” your hearts until you have Sunny foods, reach a Light Root, or return to the surface to recover. Also Gloom monsters, giant Froxes, etc. So I usually never bother exploring down there very much (scaryyyyy >u<).

It’s very fascinating - all rivers & bodies of water on the Surface are giant cliff faces in the Depths. I also felt it was a reference to the very first Legend of Zelda, where there’s an Underworld you have to explore, & eventually defeat Ganon. Also it’s funny how all the Light Roots are under shrines on the Surface, & have a name that’s the opposite of the shrine (Sinonoyk Light Root = Kyononis shrine).

Okay. That’s it. XD Now have some pretty pictures of some of the main places of interest during Ingo’s Fifth Sage quest 💣

He has one eye (at least, we assume that's an eye) looking out from under a pointed hood, and he wants Link to bring him Poes in exchange for rupees (and if he gets all 10 of the Big Poes in Hyrule Field, a glass bottle).

In Tears of the Kingdom, the Depths are occupied by a handful of these creepy looking but benign Bargainer Statues:

They have four eyes looking out from under a pointed hood, and they want Link to bring them Poes, which are only found in the Depths, in exchange for various items. One (well, three) of the items in question comprise the Depths Armor, which protect Link from the Gloom that lies in sinister puddles all over the Depths. A good thing to have when you're wandering around collecting more Poes to trade to the statues.

Wait...collecting Poes...what does the Depths Armor look like again?

Oh. I see. With one eye looking out from under a pointed hood.
