Description The ultimate mural for my Legend of Zelda fanfiction series: the Bound Destines Trilogy. Before I explain this (hand-drawn) drawing in full, allow me to give you the link to book 1 of the trilogy: Blood and Spirit (www.fanfiction.net/s/9474719/1… and book 2: Wisdom and Courage (www.fanfiction.net/s/8664013/1… . Book 3, Light and Shadow is not yet written at this time, so... 


Anyway, like I do with all of my drawings, allow me to elaborate on this little work right here. It took me the course of an entire weekend to draw this thing (and even longer to figure out how to scan it). I editied it after I got it on my ipad and so this is what I came out with! So, starting from the top to the bottom...


The upper left hand corner contains the Goddess's harp, which I feel is a symbol of the Blood of the Goddess throughout the trilogy. Right near it, you have the goddess Hylia, her design based upon how she appears in the SS prequel manga (as well as SS's prologue cutscene). Then you have the three golden goddesses themselves! Nayru, Din and Farore's designs are all based upon their Oracles incarnations, though I added some of my own touches as well... And of course, below Din is the Triforce itself, since it serves such a huge role throughout the trilogy. Then in the upper righthand corner we have the Ocarina of Time, which is representative of the Spirit of the Hero in the trilogy. Below it you have Hylia's first chosen hero (the Link from the SS prequel manga), with his red cape and all (his pose is actually taken from the pose Link makes in the first concept art that was leaked for Skyward Sword, u know, the one with Fi in it!)


Moving onto the row of main characters, we have (going from left to right), TP/Light and Shadow Zelda (or the Queen of Light as she will be referred to in L&S). Her outfit design is based upon her in-game design, with some additions to it (and of course she has the goddess tiara and the Bow of Light, as all three Zeldas in the trilogy do). Next we have OoT/Wisdom and Courage Zelda (the Princess of Destiny), wearing her epic cloak and hood! (based upon TP Zelda's design along with OoT). Then there's SS/Blood and Spirit Zelda (the reincarnation of the goddess), wearing a torn version of the first outfit she's seen wearing in the game, with the sailcloth tied round her shoulders and her hair tied up!


Moving onto all of the heroes, the first is SS/Blood and Spirit Link (the Hero of the Sky). Like all of the Links here, he is wearing the cape and armor of the first hero, garbed in the classic green and wielding the Master Sword. However, for B&S Link, you can obviously tell that he bares some of the facial markings of the Fierce Deity, as well as some white hair, all of which is a result of the corruption he suffers throughout the story. Moving on we have OoT/Wisdom and Courage Link (the Hero of Time), who, unlike the other two, only has one sign of corrption upon him through his single lock of white hair, which I can't explain here cause that would be spoilers!!! But take note that he holds the Fierce Deity's mask in his hand... Finally we have TP/Light and Shadow Link (the Hero of Twilight). Unlike the other two, he wields the Hylian Shield as well, and once again some of his hair is whitening from something similar to corruption (again can't say much do to spoilers), and if you look closely, you'll see some of the same facial markings that Zelda bore when she was posessed by Ganondorf in TP. I wonder what they could mean for Link...? (Though i really do actually know...


Moving onto the other characters, next we have Navi in both her far away and up close form. I modeled the design of what Navi would look like if she were viewed up close instead of just a ball of blue light on how the fairies appeared in a Link to the Past as well as Wind Waker and if you look, you'll see that her top is a leaf bearing the Kokiri symbol, which is where she originated from! Beside her you have Tatl, who's design I mostly came up with myself! Then we move onto Malon, who's hair I decided to have be tied up for reasons... Then there's Sheik (from B&S), who's design is based upon Impa's and OoT Sheik's with a few twists of my own. Then of course, there's Ilia, who's design I didn't change at all... followed by Skyloft as viewed from a distance and Fi, who's design I changed up based on some concept art from Hyrule Historia!


Moving on lower, we have Saria appearing as usual. Then Hyrule Castle from Wisdom and Coruage. Then there's Romani, who's hair is shorter than usual for spoilery reasons, along with her rough appearance. Cremia beside her is looking a little older as exptected and I decided to put her hair up in a sensable bun, as an older, yet still young woman would have it. Going back up we have Terminus, the goddess of Termina, who's design is based off an antithesis of Hylia/SS Zelda. Between her and the Fierce Deity is of course, Majora's Mask and then you have the Fierce Deity and his epic double heilix sword (which is difficult to draw!). Then there's Clock Town at night, with fireworks being set off above it for festivities. I then have Midna, in both her imp and true forms, both of which are so much fun to draw (though I didnt really change them at all). Going lower we have Impa from Wisdom and Courage, who I didn't change much either.


Then we move on to the bottom, where our villianousesses dwell in the darker region of the drawing. First up is Veran, the antagonist of Wisdom and Courage (and yes her design is the same as her design in OoA, but she is not the same character). To her right is the Fused Shadow, all alit in its Twilit glory (so hard to draw!). Then there's Veress, the villianess of Blood and Spirit, wielding her duel gold knives. Her deisgn is based off of Veran's of course, as well as SS Impa and OoT and B&S Sheik's. Then there's what I like to call the Spirit Shard from Light and Shadow, which i will not explain here because of spoilers! Finally we have Verona, the wicked lady of Light and Shadow, who's design is modeled after Veran, Veress, and Midna, wielding her sword of darkness! 


And there you have it! My Bound Destines mural. If you haven't read the stories yet, I encourage you to do so! My writing is much better than my drawing, I promise! XD

You're artwork isn't half-bad, hell of a lot better than mine. I think you're too hard on yourself.
