I usually don't like to draw Zelda like this because people start calling her weak and stuff. (Heaven forbid should she allow Link to hold her. -_-) But I couldn't resist how romantic it was... ^__^

**PLEASE FULL VIEW!** It looks much better. :nod:

Bah! Having some comforting cuddle time with her beloved hero doesn't make her weak! Yes, she's a strong woman, but nobody - man or woman, video game character or otherwise - can be strong 24/7/365. Not while staying sane at the same time, arguably.

You did a wonderful job with this, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I do not know how to put into words the awesomeness that I'm beholding . . .

They look just like what the various different games must have been hinting at!  I love Zelda's earring!!!  And Link's Master Sword is perfect!!!  Wow!  I . . . can't do this picture justice!  This is amazing!  I really want to learn how to draw like this!  Thank you so much for sharing this!

Okay.
I love ALL of your art, even though I'm personally a fan of MidLink :P
HOWEVER. This is definitely your best drawing yet l:< Don't let anyone tell you this isn't amazing D:

Lol, well, this is actually an OoT illustration, and Midna doesn't even exist in that game. xD Thus you could totally ship both OoT Zelink and TP Midna/Link. I personally think the Link/Midna couple makes more sense than TP Zelink (aside from the fact that Midna leaves and cannot come back), but I don't really ship anyone from that game.

And, lol, it kind of makes me cringe that you think this is my best drawing because it's over five years old. ^^; It's perhaps one of my better works (for the time I made it), but it's definitely not my best work yet. ^^; I'm glad you like it, though, thanks!

yes, heaven forbid, the "weakling princess" hugs her hero/possible love intrest. *rolls eyes* people can be so stupid sometimes.

zelda may not be strong physically, but she does have a strong will and heart. and link saves her, not just because she's a princess, and it's his "natural duty to save the princess." he saves her because there is a connection between them. (whether it is a romantic one or not, only you or the creators can decide. one of the creators even said it would be great if Zelda and Link were an item. but i digress...i personally see them as one :love:)

Excellent picture my dear. Faving.

Yes, thank you, I completely agree. And it was Miyamoto himself, the father of TLoZ, that said he'd like to see Link and Zelda together. :aww:

Thank you so much, and I'm so sorry for how unforgivably late this reply is! It got lost in the others somehow... ;3;

I can't believe I actually feel personally insulted whenever Zelda herself is insulted. I need a break.
Pff! If Zelda wasn't there, Link would eventually get killed by the all-too immortal Ganon(dorf).
*Can't stop growling*.
And I thought she was weak at the end of OoT because of all the magic she used to stay as Sheik for so long. *Nods and shouts* After all she's done!
It's Ganondorf, for Farore's sake! Not a random hobo!

I'm always so happy your skills are used for the princess' benefits!
This makes me feel warm inside. Congrats! The humor and violence lover loves your romance. *Bows*

If you want to be less insulted, try Ganondork instead of Ganondorf

Lol, I know what you mean! I also feel personally insulted (though I've gotten better over the years). :XD:

So true! And she was totally caught off guard when Ganondorf put her in that crystal thing- she was in the middle of a conversation with Link! :roll:

Lol, so true, so true! :dance:

Heheh, aww, thank you so much, what a great compliment! :D

Lucky you, I've yet to learn how to handle that sort of wisdom. I'm either so chill I overlook things or so angered I get too aggressive, das ist nicht gut.
I know that if Zelda herself was real, she wouldn't be bothered by that. What matters is making sure her kingdom is at best, not making sure everyone loves her.
I'm always trying to remember this.
*Looks up trying to stay brave* Political geniuses are always controversial.

I see a new chapter! As soon as my mind gets enough strenght to concentrate on one task and one task only, I'll read, enjoy and review! :D (Or else I'll misread half the chapter and think I saw Pikachu shaking hands with Snake when this isn't even a cross-over XD )

This one's great! Everyone needs help at some point or another (even someone as great as Link :D)

Anyone who calls Zelda weak obviously does not know the series. Take for example OoT, how can you possibly say she's weka if she was secretly fighting Ganondorf's forces for seven years at the risk of her own life. And in TP, where she even wields a sword to help defend her home! Lastly anyone who calls Tetra weak will have another think coming.

I think this is really sweet and romantic

:iconxx--ingie--xx:
xx--ingie--xx Featured By Owner Jan 24, 2009  Hobbyist Writer
Teehee, agreed! :D

That's all so very true! Ever since OoT, Zelda has had a much stronger role than in the past. (Though TP does frustrate me... Zelda was locked up in a tower the whole time again, which seemed like a step backward from Tetra. :|)

Aw, thank you! :love:
