Explain
“Okay... so I’m basically like, destined to be king?” Hyrule began, Wild listening intently.
“Impa explained it all to me, and I still don’t entirely get it, but it has something to do with the triforce and how I was able to read these old texts that nobody else could. And while I’m not actually married, I am, um... engaged,” he mumbled with an embarrassed smile, cheeks turning pink.

the unbearable weight of an empty home   
Link goes home to Hateno for the first time in a while. 
The house is full of ghosts.
They paint the walls, the last pieces of tangible proof that they ever were alive are rotting unnaturally as they hang in their frames.
He should never have come here.
Link stares at the bed.
His bed. Zelda’s bed. It’s interchangeable. Sometimes they sleep alone while the other is busy, sometimes they’re side-by-side. Her face pressed into his back. Or his arms around her. Close. Warm.
Safe.
He realises he hasn’t been in here since before they left for the castle.
The bed is still half-made. His attempts at being a good homeowner pushed aside for an excited Zelda as she bounced on the balls of her feet in the doorway, unable to wait a moment longer to explore the depths that had been long forgotten and longer forbidden.
His heart hurts.
The once vibrant flowers in the bedside vase are now withered beyond saving. A thin layer of dust has settled over Zelda’s diary- still open to her most recent entry. Written months ago, now.
The Master Sword weighs heavier on his back than ever.
He tears his eyes from the bed, from the desk, and they land upon the photograph of the Champions. The one Kass had given to him.
His memories are still foggy, he still doesn’t remember everything from his previous life. But he remembers them. Their personalities, their voices, how they were all so, so alive.
He remembers them, and he aches for them.
What he wouldn’t give for one more laugh with Daruk, one more piece of advice from Urbosa, one more round of banter with Revali, one more chance to smile at Mipha when she knocked him down again in a training bout and pretend not to notice her blushing.
Before now, he (and Zelda) had their weapons, and sometimes- when they thought the other wasn’t looking- they’d take one from the case and simply hold it.
A reminder that they were real and not just faraway dreams.
These days, Link was too afraid to even look at them.
The decay ravaged those which should have been untouchable. The Champions were gone, their souls departed, and- in Link’s eyes- their weapons should have been considered Holy the same way the Master Sword was.
Even Urbosa’s shield and Revali’s bow had not been spared- even though it seemed common bows and shields had been left unscathed.
He doesn’t want to look at them. He has lost too much of the past to amnesia, to failure, to Malice and hatred and evil, and he is terrified that looking at them too longingly might shatter what’s left of them.
He hates the photo on the wall.
Everyone had been cracking under the pressure. Terrified of the unknown future ahead of them. And they had all lied about it until the very last second.
Those S-O-S calls still echo in Link’s head to this day. How can a series of mechanical beeps, sent a hundred years ago by people he (at the time) didn’t know, cause his head to spin in anger and fear and regret.
He will never get the Champions back.
Even if he can stop the Demon King, there’s no certainty that their equipment will recover.
And Zelda…
He hasn’t slept since he retrieved the Master Sword.
He thought coming back here would help.
His own bed; his own house.
Safety.
A familiar matress and a portrait of old friends to keep him company.
But the house is cold.
The hearth remains unlit.
Ghosts of people he only can partially remember linger and crowd around him.
The photograph; the diary; the weapons decaying more and more by the second.
Some higher power is mocking him.
He leaves the house abruptly, and barely remembers to lock the door behind him.
The sun has fully set as he reaches the woods below Hateno.
Link pulls an energizing elixr from his pouch and grits his teeth in preparation for another long night.

separation anxiety
pairings: link & fi words: 3.8k chapters: 1/1
From the moment he can first remember anything—every memory, recent or distant, good or bad—Zelda’s been right there beside him. Ever since he lost her, his entire world has been off-kilter. He’s lost track of the number of times that he’s cracked a joke or reached out for her on instinct, only to turn around and be reminded that she’s not there. Nothing seems to make sense without her in the picture. They say you don’t need another person to make you whole, but he’s starting to wonder if he might be the exception.  Because Zelda’s gone, and part of Link has gone with her. He doesn’t even feel like himself anymore. “This is all my fault,” he mumbles.

Ya know what, I'll do a WIP Wednesday for once, since it's been a minute since I've posted some art...
Tumblr media
Pretty much all of my art attention lately has been on illustrations for my recital coming up on April 29th, so here's one I've been working on! This will go with a Sheik's Theme/Zelda's Lullaby medley!

Do you think that post-calamity, Link and Zelda are being affectionate in Hateno. And then one of the villagers sees these two supposed teenagers together and says something like: "Hey, leave room for Hylia you two."
And Zelda's just like:

Little totk comic ✨
I think Link would probably get sad every time he cooks that dish… or at least I do 🥲

Ps: I’ve always been interested in comics and I used to create my own when I was younger. It has been a while since I tried to purposely make one that looks nice and is fully rendered… I really enjoyed it! I hope I can do it again soon. 😊

What if the ending to Tears of the Kingdom wasn't so happy?
As much as I loved it...I did think it was a bit too neat... so I came up with an alternate one where Rauru fails to return Zelda to her previous form or return Link's arm... I kinda would have preferred if at least the arm was kept gone...though I guess that would make future sequels a bit more challenging if Link only has one arm from that time on unless they just move on to a different Link.
Also Zonai are hard to draw which is why I chose not to include them in more than one panel... sorry :p This series has a lot of very detailed character designs and while they are really cool...they're also a bit above my art skills...

If you made it this far through my ramblings here's the final panel without the speech bubbles!

Daughter
“Oh father, please don’t cry,” Zelda said with a smile, watching as tears gathered in Gaepora’s eyes. “I may be getting married, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever stop being your daughter.”
“I know,” he said with a watery chuckle, then pulled her into a tight hug, “it’s just hard watching my little girl keep growing up.”

75% of the art that I've been working on these last two years has all been illustrations for my OoT suite, and it occurred to me that I haven't posted about half of them yet, haha! (I actually performed the whole thing last weekend with a live band as a part of another recital, so I'll hopefully have that video up soon!)
Prelude & Reel | Allemande & Sarabande | Waltz | Flamenco & Requiem Pt. 1 | Gavotte
(No, no, the Serenade of Water illustrations aren't at all inspired by MajorLink's Reflections and A Beautiful Moment animations over on YouTube. Not at all, never!)
