Description "As the flames began to engulf the house, she pulled him to safety away from the danger. As the villagers came to put out the fire and get rid of the remaining enemies, she tended to his wounds. She draped her cloak around him to keep him warm in the cold, winter's air."



Now that bs-ing the caption is done, let me explain in plain English what's going on.

It's winter (obviously), and Midna had pulled Link out of his burning house in the middle of winter. If you look closely at the silhouettes, you can tell they are (from left to right) Colin, Mayor Bo, Ilia, and Rusl. Colin and Bo are trying to put out the fire while Rusl is finishing off the last enemy (not pictured due to space and laziness). Ilia is rushing over to where Midna and Link are, obviously concerned about Link's well-being.

I thought it'd be cute to have Link in Midna's cloak like this--it just adds to the passion of the scene.

If you look closely in the flames, you can still see Link's house.

This is for a contest with the LinkxMidna club that I'm in, where we have to depict how Link and Midna would be reunited. I thought it'd be an interesting twist if she saved him instead of visa-versa. Midna is a strong woman, which is what I admire about her, and I wanted to show that in this picture.

I think I may add this scene into one of my fanfics that's been on hiatus for I don't know how many months.

Oh boy. Is Ilia going to get a surprise. . .
I really like this, but I feel like the glow around Link, Midna, and the tree should be yellow or some sort of light orange-ish color because there's a fire in the back ground. Other than that, everything is perfect.

I LOVE the Midna, and, astoundingly, the story is even better than the picture! But that's only because it's such a great story concept. It HAS to be to be even better than a wonderful piece like this!!! I just love the vague silhouettes!

It's part of my story. Monsters attacked him in his home. He fought off most of them, but one caught him off guard and knocked him out. They decided instead of killing him there on the spot, they would set his house on fire with him still inside of it.

It's up on fanfiction.net. My screen name on there is the same as it is here. I still need to add the last few chapters (the scenario I just gave you hasn't been posted yet). The name of the story is "His Aching Heart". I'll hopefully get that chapter up this weekend.

The story is here [link]

Sorry for faving w/o commenting, well, better late than never, right? Anyway, I agree with you about Midna saving Link. She's no damsel in distress, after all! Also, like what you did with the fire and the silhuettes definitely.

Thank you!

And didn't you notice how Link got into more trouble in this game than Zelda and Midna combined?
