I always liked the anime illustrations in the original NES Zelda manual, and it saddened me to find out these weren’t actually part of a real animated promotion for the game. So I decided to take those illustrations and re-create them as if they were!

Enjoy this long-lost VHS promotion for the Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System!

Foremother, did my prayers arrive too late?

I don't know why, but I've been struggling with inserting video files to Tumblr. I've had to compress the videos but I don't enjoy the way the quality falls.

So until I find a solution, here's the speedpaint on YouTube for those who like to see the process :]

she was just a child :,(

Hylia

I tried my hand at drawing her (very random, I know). Took inspiration from the Goddess statue and the manga version.

The cloth the sword is held with is the first Hero’s cape…

Hey I was the person who reached out about writing a fanfic inspired by one of your pieces earlier and I finally posted it!

Here it is: https://archiveofourown.org/works/64974826/

Based on this piece of yours: https://www.tumblr.com/magdaamm/779203729357504513/i-wont-deny-ive-got-in-my-mind-now-all-the?source=share

It's my first real fic and it's pretty short and sweet but I hope it's still good. I've been fiddling around with the wording for so long that I feel like if I don't post it now I never will lol

aaaahh what that's your first fic??? It's so good!! Thank you so much for sending it to me, I really loved reading it!!!

(Also I totally get it, sometimes I just have to call something done or I'll keep tweaking it forever hahaha)

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

And here is the next diptych in my little series!

A link to the past is an incredible game and I especially love the atmospheric beginning but if I had to choose a favorite 2D Zelda game it would definitely be Link's Awakenig.

I kept going back and forth on if I wanted to draw the master sword as it appears in the respective games or if I wanted to do one cohesive design for all of them. I finally settled on the latter as I think it makes for more interesting visual storytelling - where you see at first glance that they all wield the very same sword.

But idk both would have been cool I think.
