Description The intended title was actually "The Fastest Way to Defeat Your Shadow :: Water Temple--Ocarina of Time" Buuuuut that didn't fit. 8D;

I drew this as a Christmas present for the FANTASTIC . o3o If you don't want this up, I'll take it down. ;D just lemme know. <3~

...............and I JUST NOW realized.

I meant to color Link with a blue tunic. WHAT THE FUCK. UGH. *shoots self*

I might redo it, but chances are it won't work out.

So.... u__u I'm going to go ahead and post this.

GOD I want to shoot myself right about now.

I hope you like it anyway, Kelly.

PS--I'm sorry the background and certain other things in the picture I'd rather not point out the crappiness of are lame D:

----------------------

NOTE: the bit of brown-orange (brorange?) above the sheath on Link's back is not the hilt of another sword, but the strap that is actually holding the sheath on. Yeah. Toootally was brought to my attention by a very observant commenter that it looks like another sword. It isn't <3

NOTE2: I did not use the Megaton Hammer because that would have sort of defeated the purpose of the concept of this piece. Also because there wouldn't have been as much mirrordom. Also because when I fought this battle, I found the Megaton Hammer way too slow. It's probably that my own skills with it were lacking but I just gave up on it after a few swings. I hated it.

NOTE3: Yes, technically, Link should either still be holding his shield, or DL should have dropped his. Link's shield would have covered up most of DL if he still had it so that was a no-go. As for DL's shield, it didn't look right on the ground. Not to mention, it seemed like it would not make sense for DL to drop his, even if it was what Link was doing. After all, he is attacking him and trying to kill him. I guess at the same time this conflicts with the concept of the kiss, but generally the kiss is startling DL so much that he doesn't know what to do from there, which gives Link a brief advantage in which he can win the match.

:3 thanks for all the great comments, and thanks for pointing this stuff out!

This picture is significantly lacking in Megaton Hammers.

Also, the entire point of Dark Link in this game is to mimic Link's EVERY MOVE. By that logic, Dark Link should've also dropped his shield.
Third, why does it look like there's another sword in Link's sheath? Is it supposed to be the Biggoron Sword, or...what?

There isn't another sword in the sheath, though I can see where you see that now. That's actually not the hilt of another sword, but the strap that goes over his shoulder. The Biggoron Sword wouldn't fit in the master sword sheath, though, as I'm sure you know. Not to mention, he couldn't carry both the Biggoron Sword and the Master Sword at the same time on his person...

Also, he dropped his shield just before grabbing his face. Since it is in fact possible to out-speed Dark Link and get the jump on him, he does not mimic every single move to perfection. He tries though, which is what makes this battle so frustrating. When Dark Link jumps down into the water, however, he is not mimicking Link's moves. Obviously. He can move autonomously. Granted, I originally did have him still with the shield on his arm, but it blocked too much of Dark Link. Also, when I tried to draw dark Link's shield dropped, you couldn't quite tell what it is and I felt like I needed him to still have it in order to maximize his look of shock.

Finally, I decided not to use the megaton hammer in this picture because that would sort of be defeating the purpose of a playful scenario in which the fastest way to win the battle was to force Dark Link to mimic the motion of a kiss. As with all other artists, I think that the concept is fun enough to deserve some degree of creative license, particularly since I did make a strong effort to stay attuned to the spirit of that particular battle.

I can see where you're coming from, but overall I think that his picture was thoughtful. The only part I truly regret was that I was an idiot and gave him a green tunic instead of blue. THAT will forever piss me off about this, and if I ever redraw it I intend to make sure to fix that part.

I'm sorry it upsets you so much. *shrug* I tried my best, but it's not like I'm the best artist in the world, and there will always be flaws. :3 All I can do is try my best.

Thanks for pointing these things out though! I'll make mention of them in the description. That strap really does kind of look like a sword hilt and that's going to drive me crazy now.

Woah, no need to get so flustered! The Megaton Hammer thing was just a joke.
I don't recall Dark Link sinking into the water; was it his "death" animation? Because I don't remember it. Thanks for clearing up the confusion, and the art actually did get a laugh out of me.

I know I said "nerd rage," but I actually wasn't raging at all. Sorry!

xD I wasn't flustered, I was just explaining where I was coming from :3
I guess maybe my lack of emotes made me seem upset?

And he originally comes from under the water, and if my memory serves me correctly, when you get in close to him he will occasionally flick back underneath and you have to run around the tree or whatever to get him to come out again. At least, that happened a lot in my match.

That battle took me FOREVER because I didn't have Din's Fire, nor did I have any potions. Yeah. :I lol. <3

xD it's totally fine!

Binary-Wings In reply to BeautyChao7 [2010-11-10 01:05:57 +0000 UTC]

It has less to do with actual yaoi and more to do with a surprise attack. Given that that battle is a pain in the ass, it would have gone faster if you could do something like this, surprised him, then stabbed him.

But in the world of Ocarina of time... "Dark Link" doesn't really have a personality or any sort of autonomy in terms of likes/dislikes... he's just Link's shadow in the Water Temples.

if only there was a 'kiss' button on that game, everything would be that much easier. and if there was link would've got Saria, not Zelda

Binary-Wings In reply to thatlankyguy [2010-01-07 00:51:43 +0000 UTC]

I SECOND THAT. Saria was adorable. But very, very small =3=;

Or he would have gotten Sheik. And would have taken off his mask, and shown that he was not Zelda.

Seriously, I just don't buy it. Have you seen him? THAT IS NOT A WOMAN'S FIGURE. And how is it that he was twenty-billion times more useful as Sheik than Zelda was at the end of the game? Her being him just makes no sense.

*snipes Zelda* I think she murdered him and took his place at the very end.
