Toon Zelda redesigns! I've never been fond of the Toon Zelda design, and these girls deserve some individuality. Design notes and rambles below the cut :D

(time to turn the proper grammar off i aint capitalizing all this. warning: i am verbose)

first up, tmc zelda!

shes the one most like toon zelda, since i felt like the vibes fit the *most* (though not a lot). also, with her place on the timeline, i could justify a lot of bits, like the wings and the cape

the cape! obvs it comes from the toon zelda base design, but also it involves skyloftian fashion! i take the timeline as a challenge, and i once saw a take somewhere that the skyloftians all wear their family crests (most often birds lol) on their person. zelda here (and link too) do just that, wearing their family crests on little caplets. on the back is, of course the royal crest

i went very cutesy princess for her. tmc has such a *whimsical* vibe that i feel is very. muted? by the fact its stuck with the toon style. so i wanted to put in that vibe here. also her sprites make it look like her skirt is super poofy, so how could i not?

curly hair: i wanted something interesting, and most zeldas have straight hair. so! adds to the cuteness

i didnt draw it so well but she (and link) both have very sleepy expressions. zelda especially just has a sleepy expression in her sprite, its quite adorable.

shes not as decked out as other princesses, cuz i see tmc taking place before the royal family really starts to get *royal* as we see it. shes still of course got a tiara and some embroidery tho.

Tetra! her base design isnt all that changed from the original. her name is a fun hc of mine tho. i think "von Hyrule" sounds better as a surname than just "hyrule". shes not zelda, but shes still a descendant.

(WW) princess z (as i call her)

I went more oot zelda vibes for her, since she would be closer, temporally, to oot. i also went very warm, since ive never seen the flood as a *warm* endeavor.

shes got the shoulder danglies, as most zeldas have shoulder armor of some kind. the danglies instead of actual armor are supposed to kind of evoke a royal sea captain kind of vibe.

shes ghostly, with a fish-eyed stare. shes been dead and gone for a long time. shes also a bit taller and a few years older than tetra (as of ww). shes just some spectre the king saw in tetra, not at all a close match

tetra, being smaller than princess z, doesnt fit into the clothes. the dress is too big for her (as is in canon gd that skirt is WAY too long for her), the coat is baggy. the role of a princess *literally* does not fit her.

the ribbons! theyre my replacement for the wings, and they represent the wind in the game! since its represented by white lines, the ribbons are a perfect symbolic match. (also, a note, tetras hair is shorter and coarser than princess z's)

i mostly bullshitted the blue panel but the vague idea i gave it was 'a hope for the triforce to give good fortunes to the people' (pictured as dots, mostly behind her arms)

Pirate Queen Tetra

ph! about a year has passed, and tetra has really grown into her own! as well as literally grown!

shes still tetra, pirate and captain, but shes incorporated that royal heritage into her identity: quite literally! she made piecemeal of the original outfit (what was left of it anyway after the fight), and added bits and pieces to her new life.

she also takes full advantage of said heritage to call herself pirate queen. its great for branding. whos gonna say she CANT go by pirate queen?

the seagull feather is from Aryll. only crew member tetra wears a trinket from (who can say no to that ball of sunshine! certainly not tetra)

not many notes. yall can see whats there. (also she still wears her hair in a bun, its just in a low bun (you can almost see it) when she wears her hat)

st zelda!

first note is: shes not a princess! shes an heiress of the company tetra had made and left behind. hence her title of Lady zelda. ("new hyrule" rly just like-- the ending of ww was *literally* that hyrule is dead and thats okay. how did they miss that :sob emoji:) also calling her Lady Zelda fits with the train vibes

shes in a 1880s style bustle dress because 1) i am OBSESSED with bustle dresses. i love them. so much. 2) the more historical vibe works really well with trains! also a lot of the other outfits in the game have late victorian vibes, so shes certainly not out of place.

her hat (and gloves): any proper lady has a hat on when going about town, however, when she gets body snatched, she pulled out her hatpin to use (ineffectively) as a weapon (she IS tetras great-great-granddaughter), causing her to lose her hat *and* hairdo.

shes still got the hatpin in her ghost form, too. she uses it to threaten people for funsies

Ribbons! on the topic of hairdo, her ribbons! visually tying her to tetras design, the ribbons here instead take on the image of train tracks, with her pin (on the left side) evoking a train engine. the pin also makes her look rich and girly. when her hair comes undone, this makes the ribbons all loose, like how the train tracks disappear in game. (the hat also kinda connects her to tetra)

thanks for reading :D i hope you liked reading this as much as i liked typing it

Adult Timeline Doodles

🌊 Wind Waker Doodles 🌊

Program: Ibis Paint X

Time Elapsed: 3 hours, 22 minutes

💖 Spirit Tracks Doodles 💖

Program: Ibis Paint X

Time Elapsed: 3 hours, 9 minutes

Here's a collection of Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks doodles I've done on and off the past few days. I don't know why my brain decided to branch back to them after the Tears of the Kingdom trailer, but here we are.

For the Wind Waker doodles, I gave Link a scarf to match Tetra's as well as a combination of his two in-game outfits. Tetra and Link also both have scars from their adventure. Tetra's is from falling into the tree after feeding herself from the Helmaroc King, and Link's is from when Ganondorf attacks him at the top of the Forsaken Fortress. I gave Tetra's dress a redesign to moreso resemble the ocean she loves so much! I also made the bandages on her right arm (the one the Triforce of Wisdom would usually appear on) more bandages to somewhat resemble Sheik's.

I imagine Link and Tetra are really close, given the bond they seem to have in Phantom Hourglass. Link has gotten into the habit of calling Tetra "Captain" after joining her crew, but will also slip up and call her Tetra when the two are having fun. He never calls her Zelda, though, upon seeing her demeanor when the rest of the crew does so. Given how expressive Link is and how open Tetra is, they definitely get along but are quick to make it clear when they disagree with the other. Speaking of which, I absolutely love drawing The Hero of Winds' goofy little faces.

As for Spirit Tracks, I had a little difficulty deciding on color schemes. However, I settled on a slightly detailed conductor uniform for Link and a ghostly, phantom-inspired dress for Princess Zelda. They look somewhat resemblant of Tetra and The Hero of Winds with hair and faces due to their identical appearances in original design, but I wanted to be sure their differing personalities were evident.

I see Zelda and Link being as close as their predecessors, but with their different personalities they're definitely more likely to show it regardless of who is around. The game makes Link quick to blush, making for obvious embarrassment. Zelda, on the other hand, is pretty affectionate yet doesn't seem to notice the flustered mess at all. My headcanon usually follows the ending where Link becomes an engineer, so it's cute to picture him and Zelda occasionally getting to travel around New Hyrule without worrying about an impending threat. It would be a nice chance for Zelda and Link to play music/sing together, too.

Reblogging is fine, but please don't post this anywhere else without linking the original post. Thanks!

Round 2 Part 6 Poll 3

Propaganda

No propaganda for Tetra yet

Captain Wentworth's one of Jane Austen’s best written love interests. He is rejected by the woman he loves because her family tells her he isn’t wealthy enough, so he goes off to sea to pine, becomes a captain and gets rich, then goes back and sweeps her off her feet

If I recall correctly, there is a portrait in Hyrule Castle with Princess Zelda surrounded by people who look like Tetra’s crew.

Was the flood actually fairly recent and these are the same people, and the Zelda in the portrait Tetra’s mother? Or are the folks in the painting ancestors of Tetra’s crew? Or perhaps the Hylian court reborn?

Y'all ready for some 2009 Wind Waker art from me?? 18 year old me? Well too bad bc I'm posting it.

Concept of my idea for a WW beast Ganon. Idk why I thought boar dragon lion was a good idea but well. Also he's got Tetra snuggling in his mane.
