I drew all of the Links from the games that I've played so far :>
This was honestly such a pain but I managed to push through fghjjgj for some reason i decided to be very weird with the lineart i can't even explain it-
Also don't mind me trying to figure out how to like, sign my stuff i dunno
I didn't know wether i should start with him or with botw Link since my first game was tfh and not albw. But as you can see I decided to start with albw Link
Ik totk isn't out yet but I still put it here cuz why not. I'm so used to drawing this Link because he used to be one of the only characters I would draw for a really long time haha
I don't have anything to say about this one fgjzihhjk
This drawing has to be my least favorite of the bunch. For some reason whenever I try to draw ss Link I mess it up somehow :< my poor sweet boi didn't deserve this
Okay I kinda cheated with this one because I have only played la so far but I just really wanted to draw pink haired Link fgizhgkk
I don't really like this one either, it's better than ss Link but still kinda wonky. I really need to work on my faces, especially forward facing ones. I also cheated again bc I haven't finished taol yet :>

[Image Description: Art from the Tri Force Heroes and a redrawing with the Linked Spirit Links in their place. Rinku (green) is on Hope's (red) shoulders, wielding a sword. Hope points, shouting, and sits on Glider's (blue) shoulders, who is running with a light grimace. End ID]
The fashion trio! (later, after the au's events lolol)
Me: these links have specific colors that match the green/red/blue scheme, I should use that. Also me: and their outfits and hair color change entirely, regardless of that fact.

THE LITTLE LEGENDS
This is a blog for sharing and spreading love for the smaller Zelda games in the fandom!
For everyone crying over Spirit Tracks being forgotten, to people who wish someone else remembered the struggle to find a fourth player for Four Swords or sobbing at the end of online co-op for Tri Force Heroes – this is a home to join others in that love. Mainline and third-party Zelda games are all included!
The criteria for which Zelda games count as “small” is hard to quantify. To make things easier, we went by the numbers posted to Archive of Our Own, which has the option to disambiguate which game you’re writing for and is the current best-known fanfiction site. From there, we removed some things to try and narrow it down to core game fics and picked everything that was under 1000 works.
The resulting list of Zelda games is as follows:
CDI games = 14
Zelda cartoon = 29
Cadence of Hyrule = 50
Tri Force Heroes = 51
Oracle of Seasons = 76
Oracle of Ages = 85
Zelda II: Adventure of Link = 93
Zelda (1986) = 180
Spirit Tracks = 183
Phantom Hourglass = 191
Link’s Awakening = 256
Link to the Past = 260
Minish Cap = 290
Four Swords = 359
Four Swords Adventures = 423
A Link Between Worlds = 587
Wind Waker = 739
Some of this will be a case of poor tagging, and things winding up in the wrong place. (eg. Four Swords has 1200 entries, but upon removing all Four Swords Adventures or Manga story tags it reduces to 359.) Others may not be here at all because nobody has posted it under it’s own name vs a related game or “& Related Fandoms.”
While this means these numbers are not absolute, they still represent the problem: it’s hard to find content for your favourite games if it's in the list above, and we want to fix that!
WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL?
The event we’re planning is very chill, very low-stakes way of building up interest and knowledge, and then collecting and sharing fanworks produced.
The event month will be AUGUST, 2024.
Every few days in August we’ll make a post for each game on the list (and any bonus games that were highlighted alongside the main ones), which people can reblog with a link to the fanwork they created! You can also make your own posts and tag the blog plus the game of the day but we cannot promise to see and reblog everything.
In the lead-up to August, we will be doing round-up posts for each of the above games.
Some will be doubled up and treated as “bonuses” due to their small pool of fans (CDI, the Cartoon), and if there are some we don’t know about we may take them on as suggestions!
Each of these initial game posts will include basic stats about the game: when they were released, on what hardware, where you can find them now, and what their story was. It will also include links to a walkthrough or two, for those without access to the necessary hardware.
The purpose of these posts is to be shared!
Reblog them with your favourite artwork, current fanworks you love and adore, your favourite AU they’re featured in! Share the lore you wish everyone knew, and the characters who get forgotten!
Share prompts you’ve never gotten around to using, or ones you don’t feel competent to handle!
Do not feel bad about doing this! Every exchange or event I’ve been in, people desperately wanted prompts and ideas to spark their own imagination!
The goal is for people to learn more about games that they may have never heard of before, or not had the time or ability to engage with in full on their own. And from there we can push up those numbers on AO3 for everyone to enjoy!
The scheduled games to be “main” features of this event, and their respective introductory dates, are as follows:
May 5th = Minish Cap
May 12th = Zelda II: AoL
May 19th = Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons
May 26th = Cadence of Hyrule
June 2nd = Phantom Hourglass
June 9th = Four Swords Adventures / Four Swords [Game]
June 16th = Link’s Awakening
June 23rd = Zelda (1986)
June 30th = Link to the Past
July 7th = Tri Force Heroes
July 14th = Spirit Tracks
July 21st = Link Between Worlds
July 28th = Wind Waker
Exact dates for the posting schedule of new fanworks in August will be released soon!

If I had the terrible idea to try and muster interest in doing a, IDK event or drive for under-loved Zelda games on AO3 (based off numbers of fics per game) would y'all be interested?
This would be all ratings/all warnings, no themes about angst, fluff, or so on.
What IS the main Generic Zelda tag on Tumblr anyways, if someone knows?
[This is now a Thing at @thelittlelegends!!]
The list of games (...and cartoon) per entries on AO3, for the curious:
[CDI] Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon = (4)
[CDI] Link: The Faces of Evil = (10)
The Legend of Zelda (Cartoon 1989) = 31
Cadence of Hyrule = (54)
Tri Force Heroes (63)
Oracle of Seasons = (90)
Oracle of Ages = (98)
Zelda II: AoL = (140)
Spirit Tracks = (206)
Phantom Hourglass = (215)
Zelda (1986) = (248)
Link to the Past = (316)
Link's Awakening = (344)
Minish Cap = (345)
Four Swords Adventures (466)
Link Between Worlds = (668)
Wind Waker = (867)
Age of Calamity = (1168)
Hyrule Warriors = (1185)
Four Swords = (1202)
Majora's Mask = (1242)
Skyward Sword = (2287)
Twilight Princess = (2984)
Ocarina of Time = (3114)
BOTW/TOTK = (17610)

Totem Time! I wanted to draw something a little more ambitious then usual so I drew Zelda, Ravio and Link stacked like in Tri Force Heroes. Also Zelda gets the sword because she deserves it lol. (And I kind of drew Legend from Linked Universe for Link but that's just cuz I liked how his colors looked for this drawing.)
