Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link.
Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.
This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.
Hope you like it!
I had to share this Zelda revamp because Aaron Diaz NAILED IT!
Could somebody please please please make this? I would play it so hard…
This is an original watercolour painting of the cherished saviour of Hyrule taking a break from saving the world to play his Ocarina. Don’t stand there too long, Link, or a Peahat might get you.
