#DATutorialWeapon

Of course I was going to make this Zelda themed, but I had to decide between drawing an ACTUAL weapon, or drawing a humanoid weapon like Fi or Ghirahim. While a thicc Fi might have been cuter, I instead opted to draw a sword because I was in the mood for some still life for a change, and it's less stressful + time consuming.

The Kokiri Sword is Link's first weapon in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and is probably the second most iconic sword in the franchise (after the Master Sword, of course!). While also the weakest sword, it is still a very quick and reliable weapon, and doesn't break after a few hits like all the weapons in Breath of the Wild! In OoT's sequel, Majora's Mask, Link upgrades this sword a couple of times to make it more powerful, and it eventually becomes even stronger than the Master Sword from the previous game!

Anyway... mostly drew this for the badge tutorial thing, which you can learn about here: Tutorial: Draw a Fantasy Weapon with TofusenshiLearn How in Under 2 Minutes!Become a master blacksmith and craft a fantasy weapon with this tutorial from digital artist @Tofusenshi!
