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~

My only problem with Ruto as an object of affection is that, as a fish person, she would always be cold and scaly.

Man, I am so glad you did this. I love it. Really like your Ruto and Links outfit. I think if you had done the blue tunic it would have taken away something

Jadified In reply to ??? [2012-06-21 17:33:43 +0000 UTC]

I've always thought that Ruto was quite beautiful... and who doesn't love Link?

Very nice work! I love the colours, the way everything lays. It's like they're actually in the water, vs being... in the water, but not looking like it. Seeing cling and flow lay, in what looks like a proper fashion is awesome. ^^

XD This is inspiring... I really need to get back into Skyward Sword...

This is absolutely beautiful. I've been a Zelda fan for most of my life (Well, at least until BEN showed up), and even though I have yet to get to the Zora's Domain, I can honestly say I can't wait to get there. Is it me, or do Link and Ruto make a cuter couple in this picture than once thought? By the way, congrats on the Daily Deviation.

PyroKorwin In reply to FrancescaChristianna [2012-06-21 18:30:46 +0000 UTC]

You need to play Legend of Zelda.
I recommend A Link To The Past, use any emulator for the SNES ROM that you can find easily in a quick Google search. That is, if you don't mind playing oldschool games.

This looks great. I like the details and how it looks like they're really swimming through the water. It brings back memories of that temple.
