zzeldaverse

A very happy belated National Women’s Day to all of my dear zzeldaverse followers!!

I’m crawling out of my hiatus hole to share some recent sketches I’ve done of some possible redesigns of the girls—some of them have stayed the same while others have changed a lot. I like to believe i’m a lot better at character design now at 20 than I was at 14 when I created these designs, and so they need a little modern TLC.

Putting my current art side by side with the art I made in 2020 is extremely jarring, but also makes me feel so much better about my own art! It’s a visual reminder of how far I’ve come in terms of art. I’m so glad that I’ve improved enough to do my girls justice and give them the treatment they deserve in terms of pretty art :)

Hope you’re all doing well! I’ve been in a ZZ mood as of recent so there may be more art and redraws coming down the line. We’ll see how it pans out!

Been having a lot of fun with Echoes of Wisdom! No spoilers here. I'm taking it slow and steady but am already in love with so many of the mechanics and characters. Echo herself (oh boy official ZZ name!) is fun and spunky and I love her so much. Soooo excited to zeldaverse-ify her!

Still suffering through midterms so I don't have any more art to show, but hope y'all are all enjoying EoW as well!

holy moly! a zzeldaverse post in the year of our lord 2024? this must be impossible!

it's been almost four whole years since i last posted--one of my last posts was about age of calamity! that came out november of 2020. yeesh. i would like to sincerely apologize for disappearing without a trace into the sunset (supposedly all-consumed by AoC, which I haven't even technically finished playing yet!)

and i think it's a bit silly that my next post is when another playable princess zelda game has released! i haven't gotten my copy of echoes of wisdom quite yet, but I'm super excited to play. games like EoW is why I made zzeldaverse in the first place--to have people realize there was a gap in the zelda series: a game solely revolving around princess zelda, and not the journey link takes to save her. that's the exact idea i had in mind when creating this webcomic.

so, with this post, you might be wondering: is zzeldaverse coming back in any capacity?

yes and no. i'm a full time college sophomore working my dream job, and i barely have time to play video games or draw anymore. i'm an adult now (YIKES!) and i have to allocate my time wisely, and right now, video games and art don't fit into my schedule most days.

keyword: most days! i still draw zzeldaverse and play zelda, just not as often as i used to. as i redesign and redraw some zzeldaverse pieces, i'll post them here for y'all to see. I'm unsure if i'll be making any more original comics other than silly meme doodle posts, but i still adore drawing these girls. if EoW zelda turns out to be Echo, and not Fable, i will 100% be adding her to this lineup.

tl;dr: i'll be posting doodles every now and then! don't expect any sort of schedule. college has me tied up as-is. thank you for sticking around if you have all these years and unconsciously helping me grow up. sorry you had to be subjugated to my old art style!

i love you all :) have fun with echoes of wisdom!

an announcement: the zzeldaverse discord is now pretty exclusive!!!! as of now, members of the discord will be able to see sneak peeks of future updates, works in progress, canon-divergent comics, and more! because if this change i won’t be posting simple fanart here very often unless i want to check in on you guys.

this change will also encourage me to be more diligent with my production of zzeldaverse content, which i’ve been severely lacking recently. when i’m making smaller content it encourages me a lot more to make bigger things!

so i encourage all of you to join the zzeldaverse discord. we’re a beautiful community that wants some new faces!! ❤️❤️

the whole zelda fandom, collectively, for the past 3 days:

sighs hello guys!! my brand is just coming in here to post like once a month oops but have you guys played aoc yet.....holy moly it’s amazing so far!! however if it screws up the timeline again i am going to snap

but a little life update for you all...thanksgiving break is here! and that means exams for me soon! i’m hoping i can get some things done over this break for preparations for the next update!! also, a little bit on the more grim side, i’m having three major surgeries in the next few months. it’ll be a lot of down time for me, however, so lots of free time to draw while i go to online school for a while :) a bit exciting and terrifying at the same time.

my humblest of apologies for not updating in a while, school and my health going downhill hasn’t been the best mixture. i’m hoping to get the next update out before christmas, definitely before the end of the year. (and good riddance, 2020!)

hey guys!! i’m still working through my lack of motivation but slowly but surely getting better :D to try and remedy this i’m ✨attempting✨ huevember this year! i’m not sure how active this will make me but i miss you guys so much, and i’m still working on plotting and planning for our wonderful girls!

hi fellas!!!! i’ve been MIA for a while just because i am suffering from a ABSOLUTELY HUMGONGOUS TERRIBLE bout of art burnout :) very fun!! so zz will not be updated for a while, at least until i can drag myself out of this hole i have dug.

my deepest apologies for the wait!! i’m going to school in person so that’s hard to manage on top of extracurricular and some health problems so please hang tight!! i’ll be posting whatever scribbles i can here to hold you over ✨❤️ thank you!!

the zzeldaverse discord is just a place for people who follow the story to come and discuss it and share their art and writing! we’re a super sweet community and we’d be happy to have you. ✨💕

why would you ever kiss me?

hey guys! just popping in to share some redesigns I did for 2 girls,,

1. Tetra’s design was basically her WW and PH look with a longer scarf. I’ve been wanting to revamp her design literally since I posted her ref....now I finally have!! she has Linebeck’s coat and I added a few little things from some of her concept art that a friend found for me + the pirate’s charm.

2. Dawn looked like a waitress. we all knew it. I figured out that at the end of the game when you rescue Dawn, her dress color changes depending on what ring Link is wearing. Therefore, Dawn’s dress corresponds to the ring that Hyrule is wearing! I kept her little buns because I thought they were adorable, and she probably took one of Hyrule’s tunics and repurposed it for herself.

Work on the comic should start soon! Expect to see the first comic on my tumblr by late June or early July. 💕

hey! long time no see!

zzeldaverse is still very much alive and kicking! school has absolutely swamped my entire schedule now that it’s finals, but I have one more week before I’m free for the summer!

I will be taking classes over the summer for some credits and I have conditioning, but serious work on this whole debacle should start very soon! storyboarding has already begun and it’s only a matter of time before I finish the sketches for the first comic. expect it to be posted sometime in june!

my short hiatus may have thrown a wrench in the hype for zzeldaverse, but the discord is still very active! scroll down a bit in my feed to find an invite :D

regular posts and whatnot should start after next week :) thank you so much for sticking with me!
