As some of you may have noticed my art output on DeviantArt has slowed down considerably. However I have been far from inactive. I have written down a lot of ideas but for the most part I finally finished working on my 'Legend of Zelda' youtube video where I talk about my experiences with these games growing up and what they meant to me in specific periods of my life for the series' 30th anniversary!

I drew a lot of cue cards if you will, art pieces, quick doodles for a lot of the games and my life during those times, a couple of these doodles will be made into full fledged artworks later down the line, the Majora's Mask piece for example even had this treatment already.

Anyway, if you want to hear my story, listen to my experiences growing up and check out the many doodles I did for this video, you can check it out right here!

I only had time to watch the video up to Wind Waker.

Oh my goodness... Finally, *finally* someone who admits to like The Adventure of Link!! It's one of my favorite Zelda games, I spent so much time on it as a kid, even more than I did on the first game. For me the most memorable sound effect is when you're fighting the Iron knuckles and trying to block their attacks with your shield and it makes a weird clanking noise. Ugh! I hated these guys.

And yay for the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time! It's my favorite Zelda dungeon, ever! :w00t: The atmosphere and music in that place are just... there's no word. I get goosebumps whenever I hear the music.

And oh man, I can't believe you put in the pre-Wind Waker video they had teased us with... it's been 16 years and I'm still bitter about it, I never forgave Nintendo for teasing us with something that was (then) so beautiful only to come up with Toon Link a year later. And unlike you, I didn't just feel like crying, I just downright broke down and cried, I felt like Nintendo had ruined the one universe thing that had meant the most to me. I still hate Toon Link to this day, I never made my peace with him. I played Wind Waker, but it will never win a place in my heart, and I didn't play any of the subsequent Toon Link games :(
