Wielders of Wisdom: Introductions Part 4

Phantom (Guardian) [ST]

Driven and determined; orderly; kind of a diva

Surprisingly strong after Malladus fortified her body for his own use

She started dating Spirit after he renounced his hero status to go back to being a humble train engineer. Orders him around all the time (they genuinely love each other).

Her singing voice is enchanting :)

Story: [Redacted until further notice]

Aurora (Dreamer) [AoL]

Depressed and tired

Barely holding it together for Dawn’s sake. She misses her home and family fiercely.

Very fond of Hyrule and Dawn. Kinda regrets kissing Hyrule now that she knows Dawn thinks he’s cute. A small part of her is bitterly jealous that Dawn gets to be summoned away into other eras, while Aurora seems to be trapped after the Great Decline— but she loves Dawn and would never begrudge her that opportunity.

Doesn’t sleep much anymore

Story: Since her awakening, Aurora has done her best to be the older sister Dawn never had. But the world is still devastated by the Great Decline, mistrust runs rampant, and it’s hard adapting to life centuries in the future. Dawn keeps telling her about the other Zeldas, but neither Dawn nor Aurora have been able to summon the others to their era, and Aurora hasn’t been able to leave. And none of that has stopped the court of Hyrule from taking sides, using the dual princesses as figureheads to push their own agendas. Aurora will do what it takes to support Dawn’s goal to unite their people— and who knows? She might be keeping secrets of her own…

The perks of having a near-identical long-forgotten great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great aunt suddenly wake up is that you can get her to sit in for you during your portrait-painting sessions and go do something else instead.

This will in no way confuse future historians about your appearance, or spark a conspiracy theory that you swapped places with her and ran off to journey through the kingdom once her existence is revealed after your death.

Exploring the depths 🌌🪻

[linderosse]

Guys.

Super long post; read at your own peril (tl;dr at the end).

But I just had a brilliant possible idea about where Echo (the new Zelda from Echoes of Wisdom) fits in the Wisdomverse, so I’m documenting it in case I decide to use it.

See, merging Echo into Fable would be cool. They seem very similar already (relevant post), and it’s a good option.

Yet there are a few small problems with this. I can get around them, but they’re still something to consider.

Fable’s already in four separate games (Most Zeldas get one game or less). Adding EoW makes a fifth.

Fable is already quite powerful amongst the Zeldas. Adding EoW makes her a bit OP. I’ll have to balance that carefully.

Fable has a planned story arc in the Wisdomverse. This might conflict with EoW (for example, this is why LU decided against adding TotK to Wild)

So while I still think it could be cool to merge Fable and Echo, I’m also looking for other possibilities. I don’t want to introduce a new Zelda between Fable and Dawn unless I have to.

And then I realized:

There is already a canon Zelda between Fable and Dawn.

I’ve literally already introduced her.

I have plans for her that could totally work with what we see in Echoes of Wisdom.

She’s vastly underpowered and could use the abilities from EoW very well

I could totally see myself writing her personality into EoW Zelda— it’s a different take than how I’ve depicted Echo before, but it would work equally well imo

And she’s also the Zelda with the least canon information; the one we know the least about overall— especially since we never meet her in her own time.

Guys, if Fable doesn’t work out, I think it might be awesome to merge Echo with Aurora— Hyrule’s second Zelda.

Imagine this:

Aurora woke up centuries in the future, after the Great Decline. She’s trapped in a vastly different world with Dawn and Hyrule as her only solace. She loves them, but she’s not from here; and she can’t shake the dread that she’s left everything behind: her friends, her realm, her brother, who she still cares about despite everything he did to her— and also, of course, her Link, who she loves, and went on an entire adventure to save.

When she was Echo, she was a hero. But as Aurora, she’s an echo of the past; a mournful ghost of a bygone age

Tl;dr: What if Echoes of Wisdom is the era Aurora came from— and where she desperately longs to return?

(More thoughts on the timeline under the cut.)

So— Echoes of Wisdom seems (so far) to take place around the time of Legend’s era, with enough ambiguity that it could be either before or after Legend’s era of ALttP/Oracles/ALBW/TH.

Currently leaning towards “EoW before Legend” considering the similarities to OoT, but I could very well go with “EoW after Legend,” which would be necessary for the Aurora merge. The Oracle games, after all, have a lot of similarities with OoT in terms of races and characters present (Zoras, the Deku Tree, Zelda’s design, etc), and they come after ALttP, which doesn’t have quite as many. Same thing with FSA, which is canonically after Twilight Princess but obviously resembles Four Swords more, and both Wisdomverse and LU have shifted the timeline to match. So there is precedent for similarities to skip a generation or two, even in canon.

I also doubt EoW is going to include a Prince of Hyrule (the one character we know of from Aurora’s backstory). This is fine, because I’m confident I can come up with a reason the Prince was away during the events of EoW. Perhaps during the events of EoW, the Prince left on a journey of his own and first encountered the Wizard that leads to Aurora’s downfall.

Anyways, these are just tentative plans. We’ll see what happens when the game comes out!

Hylian Game Titles pixel art project is complete! Please enjoy all 19 games in their respective Hylian script.

This was honestly super fun to do. I feel like I know so much more about the world of Zelda, and I've started to find small things in games I've never noticed before. I can confidently say that I'm fluent in Hylian now.

Which one is your favorite?

Got an idea for a taol au where zelda doesn't end up getting cursed and young impa is there also :> It's vaguely based off the zelda cartoon? Mostly just to get an idea for link and zelda's dynamic and also some of the designs

Oh and yeah link's there- i don't actually remember why i decided to add her (since as far as i'm aware there was no link at that time) but she's here now :> she's based off that one magazine that had fem pink link lol

The bottom left doodle is not related to the au but it's to show that classic zelda and zelda I 's brother look very alike

Anyway i do not know what to name zelda's brother lol

It is now time to share my piece for Legend of Link Zine! This is part of a series of other OG Link pieces that tell a story (1. artwork by @zolanort, 2.fic by @zartophski, 3. is my piece :D). Thanks to all who purchased a copy of the zine!

Here is the zine's tumblr page: @2023legendoflinkzine Please check out the amazing work that had been put into it! And very special thanks to @seekingseven for organizing this wonderful zine!

I'm immensely grateful and thankful to all my zine-mates who helped me out in the critique channel! Wouldn't have gotten it to where it is now without them 😘 THANKS!!!!! Now below are close-ups and WIP shots:

It's my usual process of drawing with pencil on paper, then scanning and colouring it digitally. After the second image, it was layering colours and smoothing out everything. I wanted to retain the pencil texture, so I did not go too overboard.
