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!

always very romantic when an extremely talented fanfic writer falls in love with a piece of media that's very bad. that's love overcoming all adversity, to me

More favourite tropes:

“Unfortunately, [thing that would ordinarily be described in much stronger terms than ‘unfortunate’].”  

“Fortunately, [thing that is in no way fortunate].”  

“Unfortunately, [thing that would be fortunate in nearly any circumstance except the particular circumstance at hand].“  

“Fortunately, [very minor benefit that absolutely does not offset the considerable drawbacks of whatever just happened].“  

“Unfortunately, [the exact, word-for-word thing that somebody just expressed that they hope won’t happen].“  

“Fortunately, [complete non sequitur].”

Saw that one unused ISAT sprite of, as insertdisc5 put it, wet dog Siffrin, and took that and ran to make sprite edits, since that was also the easiest thing I could do right now with my energy.

As per my previous sprite edit posts, Loopfrins also included. Plus an old Loop sprite edit that I had left over.

And scene

the ending of this game is so wonderfully peaceful, like breathing

(direct continuation of this comic from this au!)

i went back and forth for a while on whether this siffrin would know from the beginning that the king's special attack would be Like That, and the answer i finally settled on is that it's. complicated?

knowing they're in a time loop, and can try again if need be, they haven't been as careful in preparation as they might've been otherwise. he didn't really expect to win this fight on the first try, but decided to go ahead with it anyway to see if he could convince the king to stop peacefully

but they didn't quite realize the king was this powerful. and might've been expecting him to hesitate, you know, a little

i don't think siffrin in the assassiffrin au would be as open & excited about their favorite food, especially this close to their first time facing the king since they changed sides

but like. do yall ever think about how siffrin makes a face every time someone goes to touch him, even when he's trying not to, even when he actively wants to be touched, that makes isabeau go "right! touch aversion! i'll back off! sorry!!"

do you ever think about the physical evidence siffrin has that they were, at some point, loved - but without any memory of it, and without any context that would give meaning to it? do you ever wonder if bonnie is the first person they can remember hugging them, or making their favorite food? or to even know that it's a food they like, let alone their favorite?

do you think the malanga fritters would hit different, in a world where he was more aware what he'd lost? in a world where he'd been trying and failing for months to not get attached to his party? if he tasted those fritters and thought, "i don't remember being loved, but i remember what being loved feels like, and it feels like this!"

"these are the first people i can remember who have really, truly cared about me..."

"...and they're going to hate me in a few minutes"

Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.
