Linktober 2023 Day 10 - Zelda TETRA
Zelda's are nice and all, but we can all agree Tetra is the best. How could I not draw the pirate captain herself during a Wind Waker themed Linktober?
Expect more of this sassy gal in the future!

The boys’ weapons. I took a lot of creative liberties with some of them, and it’s important to note that Minish’s sword, Time’s sword, and Windy’s sword are not the Picori sword, Biggoron sword, and the phantom sword. But they are inspired by them and very similar! (Minish and Windy in particular had their swords purposefully made similar so.)
Also none of this is size accurate I wasn’t focused on the size 💀💀
#I admittedly got lazy in the end and traced the master sword and the knight’s sword lol#the master sword is a PAIN TO DRAW#I hate it#so yeah I traced it 💀#didn’t have the energy for Warriors’s sword either so#rip#the others I actually freehanded it tho#well. I did attempt to trace the magic sword but it didn’t turn out well#frick that sword man#I like the phantom sword. I added some fun stuff to it#like the ciela symbol on the top#also flail arms!#wish me luck#legend of zelda au#zelda au#legend of zelda#lbl chain#link between links

Scale of one to ten, how mad do you think Kohga is when, after he describes his/the Clan’s long, difficult work to figure out how to use Zonai tech, to collect charges, and to reconstruct a mighty ancient construct to gift to Lord Ganon, and after he debuts said amazing piece of engineering (which he’s even dressed up to show it’s special and his)*…
Link can just stand back and let his own mech, that he built in like two days tops and that is powered by a sage who barely knows him and is following him more or less blindly because he’s the Princess’s Chosen Hero…
Bop his creation repeatedly with a spiky metal ball (his own signature weapon)?
Because I think the answer is over 9000.
This is the mask of a man having a breakdown.
#yiga clan#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#master kohga#I love to death how he gave his construct a huge collar and little sleevies and put his insignia on it#he worked so hard on that thing and didn’t have a magic hand or a Zonai ghost or even the exposition from the stewards/mining constructs#and then link gets *handed everything once again*#((myyyy own screenshots))#((*maaan that’s not a gift whatever you say. you made that for yourself didn’t you? yeaaah yeah you did.))#((just goes to show about that whole ‘yeah I guess we serve Ganon but have you seen master kohga???’ thing the yiga got going on))#((kohga will take that thing to ganon and then just expect to be showered with praise and get to keep using it))#((meanwhile Ganondorf doesn’t give a fig about him or it whoops))#another lil detail: the construct's red shield matches the red-pink-orange magic the yiga/maz koshia use.#but kohga's own personal shields he's used in each fight and in botw are the blue shared by sheikah tech and impa (aoc) AND maz koshia#nice blend of the two varieties of ancient sheikah magic on display here! (alongside the zonai-style energy powering the thing)#((iirc seized construct's shield/other magic/tech is a different red color--that's ganondorf's color))

Spirit tracks is fun teehee
#ITS FUN HAVING ZELDA AS A COMPANION OK… title character gets to be playable omg#god. they are everything to me idk why but spirit tracks zelink is my fav by far#It feels more earned I guess? The other zelda games I’ve played p much established zelink as like some unspoken thing#Like uhhh skyward sword gets brought up a lot bc childhood friends. And breath of the wild although I do like botw zelink#But like you get to see their relationship develop in spirit tracks like they go from oh cool we’re teammates to YOU ARE MY BFF#I also like Zelda piping up whenever something happens like. I remember I used to go swimming here do u wanna go swimming when I get#My body back. Also I like being nice to her we are besties your honor#2nd image is my fav expression in windwaker when his magic gauge increase HIS FACE IS EVERYTHING PLEASEEE#I also drew tetra wearing something like baro’t saya? Using her game model and pictures of dresses and the boxer codex#Everything I’m putting on here is experimental anyway cause I’m checking Wikipedia on my own culture 🫡#BUT HELL IT WOULD BE COOL like tetra could have a more rugged baro’t cause like she’s a captain and she needs it when on open sea right#And I can imagine tracks zelda having more of a traje de mestiza dress because it’s more fancy right.. waving my hands#Sometimes Filipino zelda can be something so personal bro#My art#myart#doodles#the legend of zelda#legend of zelda#loz#Spirit tracks#wind waker#took link#Zelink#zelda#Tetra

There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
#loz#totk#zelink#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#totk zelda#totk link#my art#I love when Link loves Zelda a near blasphemous amount#I think it's really interesting that the goddess statues in totk are clearly not Hylia they seem to be their own spirits#kinda separate from each other but also to some degree linked#because that Totally changes the fact that Link is answered when he prays at them#he was answered because these seem to be more minor spirits who can work in this exchange#but Zelda didn't have any magic orbs she could offer in exchange for her power#the fact he got any answer at all is definitely still a step up for him but once he no longer has spirit orbs to trade in#they just tell him he has a job to go do#no wonder Zelda got no answer the minor spirits can only offer power in exchange for magic orbs and Hylia seems to be dead silent#religious trauma icon ♡#anyway enjoy hint of Link boobie they are so t4t to me

Zonai? you mean walking retcons?
#I hate the zonai#this blog is anti zonai#Like what. now zelda's powers. All of the zelda's powers come from the zonai?? not the triforce or even hylia?!#fuck that#i hate it#seriously#ive seen theories that the golden goddesses and hylia were zonai too and like. that's a fine idea to have. it makes sense given the retcons#but i hate it so much#you can't just come in here and be like 'these creatures that existed for one game are now the most important thing in the series'#fuck offfffffff#i think the reason i hate botw and totk the most is the abandoning of the heart of the series#both gameplay wise and lore wise#loz had a shit ton of magic and fantasy and stuff and now it's all 'ancient civilization... secretly advanced???' sksw isn't immune to this#either unfortunately#i've been thinking about oot lately. i miss you oot lore. i miss you.#anyway tldr zonai and totk retcons are dumb#and as far as i am concerned totk lore doesn't exist#there are no zonai#now i know how ppl who hate hylia due to lore retcons (not other dumb shit) feel#totk spoilers#i guess?#raven croaks#totk neg#totk salt#there. you can't say i didn't tag it

I need your opinion on something; the spirit train from spirit tracks.
What material do you think it's made from? I figure the shiny goldish trimming is some kind of metal like gold or brass, the top part of the passenger car is probably wood and glass, and the red roof on both that and the locomotive is wood as well I think? But I'm not really sure if everything that's blue is wood or metal?
So, this is a multifaceted answer, because I have three separate opinions on it.
In my head, it's wooden. The default train you get for the tutorial is wooden, and metal trains to me either look silver or black.
Adding to this theory is the distinct lack of bolts. Compare to the endgame arena, the Demon Train:
Look how many bolts that baby has! Look how shiny it is! This is absolutely made of metal.
In broader Nintendo Lore (NOT LoZ lore), the Spirit Engine IS metal. Look how it's portrayed in Smash:
The passenger car almost certainly has wooden frames around the windows, but on everything else, the edges have been made to look like metal, bolts included. However, I don't consider this design canon in the world of Hyrule, because it was worked on by different artists than the ones that made Spirit Tracks. What likely happened here is that they were shown a reference picture and told to make it into a stage.
Now, let's get into the worldbuilding answer. Based on it being a steam engine (and ignoring the fact that it doesn't use coal, instead taking energy from the tracks it runs on), wood wouldn't make sense to make an engine out of. The steam would warp it, the firebox is a fire hazard, and the damage this baby sustains as it rides would splinter to bits if it was made of wood.
Yes, I'm aware that there's a wooden train, but there's also a dessert train, and unless strawberry shortcake suddenly has structural integrity, we can't take the customized trains to be any more canon than the Nintendo Switch shirt Link can find in BotW.
But it's not plain metal, either. No bolts visible, and it's colorful. And it's something that hasn't been used in ages, a gift from the gods, without so much as a speck of rust on it.
You know what it does look like, though?
Crimsonine, Azurine, and Aquanine.
These metals helped make up the Phantom Sword in the previous game, Phantom Hourglass, and are the only thing capable of defeating the monster Bellum. With the Spirit Train, they could easily be what makes such a tanky-but-speedy, old-but-functional engine. The colors are a little duller than the raw ores, so maybe they patina over time, like copper.
But what about the gold?
I'd like to direct your attention to one more ore of a similar nature.
This is called Master Ore. It's the material in A Link Between Worlds that's used to give the Master Sword more power. It has a similar crystal formation to the three Pure Metals, and channels magic well enough to defeat monsters with more ease than the regular Master Sword, of all things.
Granted, we find it in a different branch of the official timeline. But there's no reason a resource would just not exist between timelines, just not be widely known.
So, in short: I think the most likely answer as to what the Spirit Train is made of is Master Ore, the three Pure Metals, and possibly steel/iron alloys with the above metals for things like the body of the engine, the wheels and drive rods, and the metal of the cannon.
#loz#zelda#long post#theory#ask bee#spirit tracks#listen okay. hyrule has so much by means of magic materials#they've got like fifteen mythrils/unobtainiums/etc and i love it#rupee ore? master ore? pure metals?#force gems? alchemy stones?#it's great#building off of this though—why does the demon train have gold accents?#easy. railroad#you don't need to refuel your train ever and neither does any other train. my theory on that is that the tracks power everything#as stated above#but to GET that power you need something that can conduct it#enter: master ore

FUCK YOU-
//cough
An Age of Calamity AU where everything is the same but also not-
Sooga overthrows Kohga's title as leader and becomes a corrupted PoS then kills the King and is now trying to fight Zelda for Hyrule's throne
Kohga is now his timid slutty lil assistant who just wants his "old Soogy back"
.....
And may have been the reason why Sooga ended up like this...
Hint hint it's a soul binding, corrupted mask he accidentally made for him
.......
.......
.......
Also may need their counterparts from the official AoC timeline to correct their bs and to re-teach them the lesson of their love for each other
Anyways

Ganonbeck has true Jessica & Roger Rabbit energy. A sublime immortal + some stinky sailor he found.
One of the Links, signing: "Seriously, why do you see in that guy?"
Ganondorf: "He makes me laugh"
Ganonbeck is a funny little ship and it is entertaining to think about what (any, I guess) of the various Links would think of it.
(I have not seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit so I can't say a whole lot on the comparison but I think I get it? I read the wikipedia page for it)
#anon#asks#ganonbeck#everyone keeps comparing ganonbeck to all kinds of other ships but idk what id personally compare it to#MAN idk what to do with the asks that are less asks and more little comments like this lol ty tho this is cute#ive been leaning away from just seeing ganonbeck as just a silly little crackship and more something with genuine narrative potential#its still silly dont get me wrong but im cursed with the tendency to make linebeck a deeper character than is necessary#i think he bathes very frequently and that is a headcanon with more baggage than is needed#ganondorf#linebeck#dynamic between linebeck and ganondorf is interesting to think about and i think the idea that linebeck is half gerudo is a good... crutch?#it helps spark stuff stuff in addition to just being an interesting linebeck headcanon in general#linebeck works really well with another character when i write him in aus he's usually intrinsically tied with another character#but ganonebeck being 'king with the power to tear down a nearby kingdom and is tied to a great magical artifact and history itself'#plus 'some fucking guy who keeps falling into epic quests he is not equipped for' is good#man raised as royalty with great battle skills and an affinity for the organ and generally also being kinda philosophical#and then legend of zelda's male damsel in distress#i think i have a skewed view of ganonbeck bc ganondorf is the one everyone else finds hot whereas my tastes are the reverse

my problem is that I love my alternative universe child timeline for descant but also hate it because :
1 ) unfathomably brutal
2 ) many really good ideas (I think) that unfortunately need tons of buildup to be explored to their fullest potential
3 ) it would work better visually and I'm not going there
4 ) work :(
#thoughts#descant of greatness#unhallowed vespers#but like there's so many... potential iconic scenes#such as the Reveal that Ganondorf's very soul has been bared for all of Hyrule to see (always a classic)#and the consequent existential crisis that it provokes#I have a scene where Impa and Ganondorf just punch and stab and magic each other within an inch of their lives while rolling in the mud#also at some point they have tea and a very normal (???) conversation (after)#really messy and emotionnally challenging gerudo stuff#Zelda gets to be so much more of a character also#the hylian royals in general have character arcs of their own!! wow#but it's... :( work#and I have to finish another longfic first

#head full many thoughts#on the one hand I can’t believe I live in a world where there’s gonna be a live action zelda movie#and on the other hand all I can think about is the many many many ways it could be fucked up#but I am choosing to be hopeful#I just hope they cast new people I’ve never heard of that are magically perfect and talented for Zelda and Link#anyway I am dying and will be losing my mind until we get more news#even though it was literally only just announced#personal#SHIGERU MIYAMOTO IS PRODUCING IT…. HE SAID NINTENDO IS HEAVILY INVOLVED…..#SO IDK GUYS PERHAPS I DO HAVE HIGH HOPES……#I know it won’t because it’s too soon now but what if it came out for the 40th anniversary 😭😭😭😭#I’d cry#also I sent my sibling like ten voice notes freaking out lmfao

I am a normal person with a job and various normal hobbies but also if you sliced open my brain you would find a region which has existed for years and is singularly dedicated to storing my needlessly overspecific post-OOT / MM Zelda headcanons covering the span of several in-universe decades and in fact aren’t headcanons because they are all completely correct and accurate and ~thematic~
#okay so canon strongly suggests that TP Link is a descendant of OOT Link but I dislike the trope of biology/bloodlines = magic destiny#also OOT Link was raised by a talking tree and literally never even met an adult until he was like. eleven.#therefore dude has no attachment to the concept of marriage or a ✨nuclear family✨ and by the time he grows into adulthood again#he gives like. negative fucks about anything. he’s paid his dues to the world man.#therefore he ends up in some kind of polycule thing + raises a bunch of kids some of whom are maybe ‘’his’’ but several are adopted orphans#so like. inherited generational Stuff is going on and he’s a parent in every way that matters but as far as biological ancestry: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#he obsessively teaches them all the survival skills he knows but is super lax in most other respects#(no sword training tho bc he didn’t want them to HAVE to know and then by the time he was maybe ready he physically couldn’t anymore)#and is thrilled to see them turn all rowdy and rebellious bc he feels like his life would’ve gone better if he’d been that way as a kid#in the same way that Link was somewhat modeled after Peter Pan (or really one of the lost boys to be more accurate)#the kids end up akin to Robin Hood and the outlaws especially after Link dies at a fairly young age bc they’re quite reasonably like#‘’hey fuck you queen Zelda you ruined our dad’s life fuck off fuck offffffffff’’#(cue them being derisively called a wolf pack—foreshadowing the whole Assigned Wolf Fursona at Death thing lmfao)#this ends up being extremely relevant to 1.) what happened to the actual ocarina of time between MM and TP#2.) Ordona becoming a semi-independent province within that timespan as well#but BEFORE ALL THAT HAPPENS so like relations between Hyrule and the Gerudo people are like. Very Poor at this point. for many reasons.#so by the time zelda actually becomes the ruling queen—

A legend of Zelda fic i’ve always wanted to write is about link (probably an oc link in an original story?). Who had like this childhood friendship/mutual crush thing going on with Zelda. And then your average loz plot happens and he and Zelda get separated. Link gets like thrown in the future or something, and now he goes on the usual adventure to restore the kingdom to it’s normal state. And he gets helped on and off by Sheik. Who he grows super attracted to, so now he has to deal with finding out he’s into guys but also feeling guilty because he kinda had promised to be with Zelda when they grew up.
And there’s pining and tension and guilt on Sheik’s part for not being able to tell Link the truth b/c plot reasons.
(And then Link and Zelda have hot gay sex. And then they defeated ganon(dorf)Vaati/whomever, and Sheik reveals himself to be Zelda and they live happily ever after, (and have hot bi4bi sex where Zelda masters this body transformation magic and freely transforms from female to male during said hot sex, because they’re both super into that)
#also people who don't buy that sheik was zelda who turned herself into a man with magic are cowards#sure she *could* have just been crossdressing but where's the fun in that#loz#zelink#sheik#zelda#princess zelda#link#also in this adventure link has the 'transform into fairy ability from zelda 2#because i like that and whish they had that also in any other game#legend of zelda

zelda blasted moldugas in the gerudo assault scene, it was a group effort between her sonia and rauru. you can see the light coming from her hand. they just channeled it through rauru bc he was/is the chosen hero from that era
I saw that as them just giving him the power to preform such a massive attack rather than Zelda herself blasting them (probably supplied by the sage stone thing which i cant remember the name of). I'd have to rewatch the scene to check (the only one I rewatched was the one where Fi's theme played) but if she seems surprised I take it as more of a "oh shit i/we have that much power??" rather than a "holy shit my attack personally killed all those moldugas" kinda thing. it was Rauru's attack, Sonia & Zelda just supplied an extra power source.
#also when does it say Rauru is a chosen hero#Rauru is just. Rauru. he's just a guy. Link specifically is the chosen hero. he was chosen by Hylia. like. specifically#it isn't just any random guy who fights Ganon. it's Link. like. specifically.#if it was anyone who fought Ganondorf then Zelda would be the chosen hero. & the sages. & everyone & their mother & dog & goldfish#okay as much as i love TotK all i've seen in the fandom so far is Zelink shippers being weirdly rude & people making up information#also TotK fucks up the timeline so badly it makes me sooo mad#TotK has done irreversible damage to the LoZ timeline man#if Ganondorf has been sealed under Hyrule castle since before Minish Cap how the fuck did he reincarnate in OoT#who the fuck is the OoT Ganondorf? which btw is in 3 other games#that specific Ganondorf is in THREE OTHER GAMES! WHO IS THAT IF GANONDORF IS SEALED UNDER HYRULE CASTLE#as a fan of Skyward Sword too this is just. what the fuck. what the actual fuck#if i think about it for too long i start foaming at the mouth & growling & shit#only thing i can think of is this is an entirely new timeline#or the team just honestly doesn't give a shit & is just making games man#btw constructs/robots that are fuelled by magic blue power have existed since before Hyrule was created#they're in Skyward Sword. but their creators have vanished (presumably the Sheikah &/or the Skyloft people)#there's so much information & although a lot of it matches up so much of it conflicts with known accepted information#also people have different interpretations of the shit happening#i could say that actually Zelda wasn't a dragon. she just switched places with one. she was just possessed by one. you can't prove me wrong#it's the same shit with saying ''this facial expression means this thing specifically & i will die on this hill''#brooo stoppp--assuming everything in this series makes perfect sense & can be proven without a shadow of a doubt makes you look stupid

(minor totk spoilers ahead)
So my favorite thing to see if folks who never played a Zelda game before Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom really focusing on THESE outfits:
I mean, for a million reasons, yeah I love these outfits.
But because of BotW and TotK being a lot of folks (much like OoT was) first Zelda game, people have a weird sense of "this is the first time they did anything like this" OR that "All Links Are Like This".
Neither of which is true.
The most important thing to take away from any Zelda game (and the franchise as a whole) is that every single Link is SO different than any other Link.
Which is why, personally, I think that anyone who says "Link is so gender" is beyond accurate because each Link is very gender in VERY different ways.
Case in point, Twilight Princess Link:
This Link is also very GENDER, but it's so opposite of the "Very Gender!!" that BotW/TotK Link has.
AND THEN... to go completely in the "using Link as a dress up doll for the first time" aspect... they made a WHOLE GAME where the point was "grind in dungeons and get outfits" ... it was called Tri-Force Heroes and the stars are THESE LITTLE BELOVED GENDER GREMLINS:
And like... the outfits here are... WILD:
ZELDA'S DRESS, A CAT SUIT WITH A DEEP V CUT, SEVERAL MAGICAL DRESSES, A CHEER LEADER OUTFIT, A SUIT MADE OF A CACTUS, A SUIT MADE OF BOMBS, ETC ETC ETC.
So yeah like... each Link is very different on the gender scale in a lot of ways and it's fun to see how wildly different but still very GENDER they all are.
