Fan Art of the Week #005

A brilliant artwork, “The Hero’s Lineage” by Aremke of DeviantArt. According to the author, this is like a wakeup call to most Zelda fans. Are you guys aware that the Link and Zelda from each consecutive game aren’t necessarily the same people? The Wind Waker made this blatantly obvious, but people seem to be completely oblivious to this regarding the other games.
This is what he quoted, “The setting here is in the final days of the legend. I did the sky orange to try to keep true to the atmosphere depicted in the game artwork, which was always very dark. Basically, by now, Hyrule’s become desolate and overrun with monsters from centuries of Ganon’s repeated attacks, not to mention whatever natural disasters occurred aside from flooding. This Link is the last of a legacy- the last knight of Hyrule.
Props to anyone who can guess what game(s) each Link in this picture is from.”
- Certainly, the picture actually shows Link from the original The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II - Adventure of Link. In the clouds, from left to right: -
1. Link from Ocarina of Time
2. Link from Wind Waker, Minish Cap and Four Swords
3. Link from A Link to the Past!

I clicked on the pic to make it bigger, and I noticed the triforce on his hand.

Actually, the only Links which are obviously not related are WW and TP Link. There is a way, which takes a while to explain, to link Chronologically, Link from OOT to AoL as 1 person growing up from age 9-10 to age 16. But Nintendo has never been specific on which ones are same and different, leaving it up to us, the fans, to make our own little zelda timelines in our heads. Nonetheless, awesome drawing, i like it alot. Classic link is by far my fave and you drew him very will. much kudos, props, and a gold star..hell have two
