Description
I actually started this last year when I picked Ocarina of Time for my 3DS and I realized Princess Ruto actually looked quite pretty, for a Zora that is. I was always kind of a fan of how cute she acted around Link. So I decided to give them a dip through what we can presume to be Lake Hyrule. Yes Link should probably be wearing the blue tunic, but his green is too iconic, and maybe Ruto is helping with the oxygen supply
All in all, I really enjoyed doing this piece. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot doing it. Took around 40 hours I think (I really need to work on drawing faster) in Photoshop with my Intuos3.
Please enjoy and leave feedback down below
Happy questing in Hyrule~

Princess Ruto is lovely >w< I honestly find the Zora to be a beautiful race, always been curious how a Hylian/Zora baby would look

I think twilight princess version is the hottest ^q^ So maybe that's why the owner/drawer decided for TP instead?

So awesome! Really well done. The only thing that gets me is it looks like Link has a stumpy arm? (The one Ruto is holding on to) I didn't know he was an amputee :/

The chain mail is particularly impressive. A lot of patience was clearly required for this. Well deserving of the Daily Deviation!
