I realised I've never actually shared the detail of my knotwork showing the battle between the First Link and Demise so here you go! This was really fun to create
More info under the cut
This knotwork is loosely based on extant Jelling style examples, although I have absolutely no pretense that it's anywhere near realistic.
On either side of the knotwork you have two figures, Hylia on the left and the First Link on the right. Both are shown with the triforce, Hylia above her because it's a more spiritual part of her existance, and the First on his shield to represent the goddess' patronage.
The knot itself is made of two figures, a wyrm that represents Demise, and a stylised loftwing. On the back of the loftwing is the figure of the First Link, his pose heavily inspired by norse images of Sigurd slaying Fafnir.
Here I have shown the First in the moment that he slays Demise, but have also alluded to his tragic fate by having him also have a sword through his side, showing that he has given his life for his cause.
Also there are a matching set of stylised loftwings on either side of the knotwork because it was fun and they were pretty
I made this as a companion to my fic Untarnished, where the First Link gets a happy ending, actually. It just takes a while.

The duality of man Link
Character ref sketches of First Link and Skyward Sword Link.
OG Link looks like he just got released from solitary after 4 years and then came off a double customer service shift. Sksw Link just woke up from a nap and is ready to smack down a demon god for his gf. They're both big Hylia fans.

This is my version of Hylia, well versions. I wanted to make a Hylia that was more bird like and have different forms. AND MORE HOLO!

going from the hylink depictions in fandom and all the zelda games where link dedicates his life to saving and serving her to the skyward sword prequel manga is wild because you meet the first link, and he's just like. idgaf about hylia (the goddess). you gods are just as pathetic and powerless as we humans whom you supposedly reign above. why are you coming to me to fix your problems. why do we even keep you around. i don't want your stupid sword. the bird is cool, though.
