Description
(Full View 'cause the color's weird when it's smaller ... wtf, DA...)
Good God, y'all...
I hardly sleep these days. I think my body's rotting...I feel like shit.
But I wanted to get this done no matter what to support and her efforts for this year's Calendar Contest she's holding.
The theme is History of Hyrule this year, and I chose to portray an aged OoT Zelda mentoring a young TP Zelda as the new princess.
I've always been fascinated with the period of time in between OoT and TP. And I feel as powerful as she is, Zelda has the capacity to live a long time. So. Bam. Two generations in the same room.
During autumn. Because it's my favorite.
Okay. I need to go take care of health issues. x~x

What's weird is the Hylian princess that are not seen in games are also named Zelda there's literally a Hylian law saying all Hylian princesses must be named Zelda

(What I imagine is going on in this conversation)
OoT: Ah, it seems you have truly inherited the Mark of the Gods... The true symbol of Wisdom... You are truly ready to be next in line as Princess Zelda, young one.
TP: But Grandmother, I know almost naught of what I am meant to do as the Next in line of the Kingdom.
OoT: In time, my dear... There are many legends and many lessons that you will learn of overtime... You will know your destiny soon my dear... Beyond my lifetime.
TP: ... I understand, dear Grandmother... Thank you.

I always found this piece to be a great illustration of passing wisdom on to the next generation, especially since TP Zelda is descended from OOT Zelda. This piece truly deliver's on the legacy of inheriting the divine Wisdom the royal family has kept in their care for years, kinda reminds me of the Hero's shade passing on his legacy.

It's an excellent piece that really does express your views on how the legacy of the triforce is passed on. It's because the series have gaps of ambiguity that it's cool how fans can express their imaginations on how they see how the events tie together in fun and unique ways.

Absolutely gorgeous!
though if I may, I think Zeldaβs proportions might be a bit of sheβs to small. But everything else looks good!

This was probably TP Zelda when she was a teenager. I think by the time the events of Twilight Princess began, she was already a young adult.

Oot: Ooh, let me tell you sweetie. I was quite the lively deku sprout in my day! There was a time when I had to become a ninja to hide from someone.

This is incredible and I can't tell you how much this makes my inner Zelda fan squeal like an idiot. I just absolutely love the idea of bridging the gap between OoT and TP, and the whole legacy of Hylia/the Princess/the Triforce of Wisdom/etcetera.
And this is just such a lovely piece of art even on its own merits. The composition, the colour, the subject matter, everything. So good. Thank you so much for sharing!

WOW *0*
Is it strange that I'm actually nowΒ kind of hoping for something like this to happen in one of the actual games '^^

I'm so sorry but I don't know an English word which can describe what I think about this art... It's just...

lol That works. Thank you~!

I think it was pretty interesting to see an older Zelda help out the next princess in the line.

Love this! It's so great to see a Zelda as a grandmother and telling her granddaughter why she bears the Triforce of Wisdom.

oh wow I love this! And I love how you colour, especially the skirts, they're fantastic!

Wow, what a beautiful piece! I love the autumn colors, they fit so well for some reason. OoT Zelda looks absolutely gorgeous, despite the fact that she's probably really, really old by now. I love the look of awe and wonder on TP Zelda's face

I think Zelda's head is a bit out of proportion...it just looks a bit big. Apart from that, brilliant.

I love it! I hope you do a part two of this "Passing the torch" art, but use The Hero's Shade(OOT Link) in some way.

Really wonderful artwork. Great lighting and wonderful work on the details

This is amazing. I love all the details, especially on the throne.

Zelda passing on the Legend. Absolutely stunning.

This would be incredible if this actually happened. Because TP zelda could have learn alot from OOT zelda and all of her mistakes.... wait would she even realize her mistakes? guess not, well Im rambling now soooo
yeah....
OOOH! OOT zelda could have informed the few legends she knew, or where the master sword is now considering it was moved (still for reasons unknown correct me if I am wrong) she could have explained what happened to Ganondorf, or about OOT link and how he left.
Did she know what happened to him afterward? I personally believe he married Malon, so did she know about that? know about their life? or was LInk sick of his adventuring life and wanted no contact with her (why they moved to Ordon?) I know that he left the bow he recieved in Termina with the Gorons and even though a longshot was returned to the water temple... did he keep contact with Zelda at all?????

The older Zelda looks beautiful. I often wonder why people draw only young people, when especially old ladies can be so facinating and pretty in their own ways.
π: 0 β©: 1
Young people are considered more attractive since, when someone is aged, they're basically in a very decayed state, to put it bluntly. It's not generally an appealing thing people want to look at. :] But I'm glad you can see a beauty in it.

This is beautiful in so many ways, I love it!

Words cannot contain the amount of awe I have for this piece. It's simply beautiful. All the details, all the colors...! And for some reason, I really like TP Zelda's dress.
But, um, if I could ask a favor...? Um...if I wrote a fanfiction based on this piece, would you mind too terribly much? I'd be sure to credit you. It's fine if you don't want to, of course.
Bottom line, lovely piece of art.

Thank you very much~ :]
I wouldn't mind at all - folks write based on my art from time-to-time, and I think it's great ya'll get inspired like that.
One thing to keep in mind is that, in light of the new Skyward Sword game, this kind of meeting would be impossible since Zelda is technically the Goddess Hylia being reincarnated over and over. But that's alright. It's why we call it FAN fiction, and FAN art. ^^ So, go for it.

No problem. (:
Oh, thank you. And I probably wouldn't keep that in mind. Skyward Sword doesn't change my perceptions at all, despite the spoilers and information I know. I never made it past the second dungeon. XD

This is incredible! I've always been curious about how past Zelda's tell their granddaughters about their adventures and this is a perfect rendition of that. What an amazing piece! I love how both the Zelda's look, you really captured their elegance and young Zelda looks curious while elder Zelda looks so wise and thoughtful. It's clear to see the amount of time and effort you put into this; absolutely gorgeous work
