Description I came up with this idea literally years ago () but I didn't draw it until now because I couldn't think of any good way to turn it into a comic before. The way Link has to pull the Master Sword out of the stone always reminded me of the King Arthur stories, like "The Sword in the Stone". Then I thought "what if the Master Sword actually WAS the sword from the King Arthur story?". Thus the idea

So the guy in the last panel is a young King Arthur, in case you didn't get that. xD Not any particular version of him, this is just my own interpretation. It was fun to create a design for him XD (though this is before he becomes king, so I guess he's about Link's age or something ... does he look it? )
The idea was to make Arthur seem more "mature" and "manly" than Link so that Link would feel challenged XD Who do you think is more good-looking?

Anyway it was real fun to do a TP comic again!! Is this seriously my first TP comic since "Poor excuse"? I think so, unless this counts: [link]
I colored this one with watercolor pencils. I forgot how fun it was :')

Lol, in the first panel Midna is looking at her watch ... xD I guess she gets bored. And the hat in the last panel is because ... well, she's impersonating some kind of "ancient storyteller" or something, so you gotta have a hat XD
... did you know I used 75 % the same colors for Midna's hat as I did for Link's tunic and cap?

Also the reason Link is in pain in the last panel is because he fell over in an unsuccessful attempt to take the sword out of the stone, and hit the ground. Maybe that was unclear ...

I'd love to get some comments and feedback, as always I'd like to thank my family for helpful advice, and myself for making this comic possible. x3

Hehe. This was funny. Although where DID Midna get that hat from?
And why isn't Link a wolf? He's supposed to be a wolf when he gets the sword!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

HikariMichi In reply to Joosh-Face [2012-05-22 13:19:12 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Well, the hat was just there because it was supposed to be fun and random. I guess if you need a logical explanation, it was either there in the first place, next to the pedestal, or she created it herself with her magic because she thought there was a need for it xD

I know. But a few seconds before he takes out the sword he automatically transforms into human. I know that, 'cause I watched the scene from the game recently. I thought about including the transformation in the comic at first, but I figured it would take up too much space and draw attention from the joke.

actually, the Master Sword was based on the story of Excalibur, so you aren't far off

HikariMichi In reply to Sundav-Istalri [2012-05-22 13:25:14 +0000 UTC]

Really?? I didn't know that!! Well, that makes sense.

Hmm, but Excalibur and the sword Arthur takes from the stone aren't the same sword ... At least not in most versions. So, is it based on the Sword in the stone story or the Excalibur story? (Excalibur is the sword he acquires from the bottom of a lake)
