Hey folks!

As I mentioned in the Catwoman image, I'm trying to make some pieces with the intention of printing them and selling said prints on my Etsy shop (well, the Etsy shop that I'll soon open), keeping in mind images that I think people might actually buy.

A few days ago, I sketched an image of Link and liked it enough to vector it, and this is the result. In the process, I ended up making the sheath and the shield elaborate, since I decided I didn't want it to just be an image of Link. I thought it would be interesting to decorate his sheath with some fancy Hyrule imagery, and the shield with images of classic monsters from the series and how to defeat them. They are as follows:

Ghoma: Intuition (if an enemy has a big eye, hit it in its eye, basically)
Dodongo: Bombs
Keese: Arrows (or slingshot, if you're young Link)
Octorok: Shield (to reflect the rock, of course)
Deku Baba: Sword (to slice the stem)

I think I got all of the names right. I have a decent memory of pretty much anything Zelda, but if I'm wrong, oh well.

Anyway, I hope you folks enjoy! I'll be sure to let you know when I have that Etsy shop opened and when signed prints of this image and others are available!

Beautiful! The sword and shield look fantastic, and their detail really balance out the crisp simplicity of Link's appearance!

Best wishes on your Etsy endeavors!
