Description
So I recently beat Link's Awakening. I CRIED SO MUCH AT THE ENDING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I JUST DID. I almost never cry when watching or playing something. So me crying at the end of a GameBoy game that's literally as old as I am is pretty fucking amazing.Anyway, it's like, 1:30 in the morning right now and I have school tomorrow. G'night.

It's wonderful to see a beautiful work that isn't digital to start with. Then it has to be so crisp and clear. If only I had half your coloring skills...but I digress. Okay, a couple stars off for Originality as the composition comes straight out of the end of the game in Link's profile pose...yet it's still done well. The shading on the ocean and clouds helps give this piece a lot of emotion; and Marin is beautiful without being oversexed. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

You cried for a great reason! Honestly, I can't play that game without feeling so...reluctant to beat it, and sad when I think about it.

I hate it when I found out Marin weren't real, and what's real is only the Wind Fish.

A glimmer of hope if you beat it with zero deaths on your file, you know?

I plan on doing that. Now that I know where all the power-ups are it shouldn't be too hard. Once I got the blue tunic I never died again on my first time through.

ps nice drawing. This is one of my all-time top five stories i think. Amazing Game. Glad to see it's still working its story-telling magic 19years later!

Happy ending? What happy ending? This is the saddest ending in the Zelda series. Koholnit Island disappears. Link's new friends are gone. Turns out that cute girl Marin wasn't real. It's pretty freaking depressing.

This is a lovely picture, but as the point of the challenge was to interpret how you yourself would fit into the Zelda 'verse, I'm going to remove this from Keep-Drawing.

Wow-this is an amazing piece!
Did you paint some of it and use markers? Anyhow I love how you drew Link and how he fits well into the background

I used markers, pastels and whiteout. I didn't use any paints (not that I have any half-decent paints but whatever). I'm glad you like it!
