Heyo! Today I have unearthed some redesign of Fi I made long ago. I made this sketch in an hour or so, I'll share the process video sometime later!

Redesign of the sword spirit Fi, from Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The character has the same blue and purple color palette, but now has long blue hair instead of short, her cape is longer as well as her dress. Her calves have golden gladiator sandals.

#GoldenChainAU Sidon has defied time, by turning into Hyrule's oldest being (apart from the Deku tree), earning the title of Honorable Sage. He feels he should be just Best Uncle.
He has waited ages for a new hero to be born.

Portrait of an aged up King Sidon, the Zora prince from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. He wears a light blue sash, and silver epaulettes and crown.

#GoldenChainAU Once a year, Hyrule Castle opens its gates fully to visitors. Everyone wears historical costumes, although not all of them are good... #LegendOfZelda #LoZ #LegendOfZeldaAU #zelink #tloz
Princess Zelda wears the 80's cartoon outfit instead of the breath of the wild one. Link wears the royal guard one.

#GoldenChainAU I gave Zelda a living mom in this series. She's sweet, but don't mess with her (Zelda, for an unexplainable reason, can't lie to her...)

Image depicting a smiling, middle aged Sheikah woman with her hair in a bob cut. She holds a lens in front of her left eye that resembles the Lens of Truth item from Ocarina of Time. She wears a black turtleneck sweater and a white and red haori jacket.

#GoldenChainAU Zelda has a nickname she earned by being extremely invested in her field of study, Hyrule's history: Nerda.

She's totes Hyrule's LoFi Girl 😁

#GoldenChainAU the duo as kids: Zelda was tiny and sassy (possibly a little bit spoiled by her grandmother, Queen Zelda Viridiana), Link the biggest sweetheart with dreams of becoming a knight!

#GoldenChainAU I shared these #throwback pieces on Tumblr yesterday, Link and Zelda wearing some traditional costumes of their tribes! These two need a revamp, definitely!
#LegendOfZelda #LegendOfZeldaAU #zelink
Golden Chain AU Link in traditional Gerudo clothing. The suit is inspired in modern Indian fashion. Golden Chain AU Zelda in Sheikah clothes. These are a streamlined version of the ones of breath of the wild.

#GoldenChainAU Zelda is always captivated by nature. The problem is that the Lost Woods is not a place to brag about in social media...

It's the final day! @linktober.bsky.social 19+31 free for all (but make it Golden Chain AU Link)
The lad is haunted not by the past iterations of the hero, but by a shadow (a curse? Or of his own making?)

Time to share here some old Linktobers! These are from 2021, both mixed media, focused on my fic, The Golden Chain. The first two days focused on dreams and omens...
#LegendOfZelda #linktober #GoldenChainAU #inktober #illustration #mixedmedia
Dreamlike image of a person in a white cloak, facing right, head partly covered by the hood. Their right hand is wearing a golden armband, with a golden chain that fades into dust on its end. A young woman with long dark hair facing back observes the moon, which is dyed red, making everything the same hue.

#GoldenChainAU Almost every LoZ iteration has an Impa, and I love we get the badass auntie flavor. Despite her stern façade, she loves her nieces, Paya and Zelda.
#LegendOfZelda #LegendOfZeldaAU #LoZ #tloz #illustration #CharacterDesign #Impa #Sheikah
Character redesign for Impa. She has light olive skin , and wears her mid length white hair pulled back in a half ponytail. She wears a black blouse and slacks with a navy blue vest. She also wears a white and red haori jacket. She stands straight, hands behind her back, staring at the viewer.
