Hylian Heroby ~TWULF

(Heads up, Full view is 1000 pix wide)
Bloodlines and ancestry is a familiar topic in The Legend Of Zelda. It's perfectly logical that perhaps somewhere along the time line, the chosen hero is a daughter of Hyrule and not a son.

I wanted to entertain that notion and create a familiar 'Link' design, but as a strong female lead. Before this years E3, there was alot of buzz that the next Zelda was to be 'The Great Flood' and it would star a Hero fulfilling Links role, but not a true Heir(And thus failing to prevent the flood). I had that in mind during the design process.

It was a fun little concept to do. I tried to create a brand new design as opposed to 'What if the Link we know now was a girl'. As in this Hero would star in a brand new Zelda game. Mainly 'cus the whole gender-swapping thing is weird and confusing.

Btw, Nintendo!
BRING BACK THE YELLOW BAND ON THE HAT.
Link To The Past design was awesome!

While I support the idea and think we need more female characters, people would be so pissed if they made a female Link. Fans rage at any change to their fandoms. On top of that, as we've seen with that Anita Sarkeesian fiasco, there are a lot of deeply sexist male gamers out there.

Glad you like the idea! Yeah, I didn't do the piece because I was hoping Nintendo would try it- we can all bet they never will. Just wanted to try my hand at a female hero for that world.
