Description (The Red fairy is just a red fairy. The picture was leaning too much to the left so I needed to put something on the right side to balance it out.)

So I'm super excited for Nintendo's upcoming E3. Sure, there won't be the usual digital event but there WILL be a full day of them streaming the new Zelda game. FINALLY! Everyone's been waiting to see this game for two years! I'm excited. You excited? I am excited!

I was thinking about what kind of companion this game could have and I was reminded of the companions from Windwaker (namely Medli and Makar) who have been my favorite zelda companions largely because they weren't tutorial bots but were characters that, due to circumstances, needed to adventure with me. They were just as lost as I was in dungeons and success lay in working together. I found myself getting attached to them far faster than Fi, Midna, or Navi.

So I had the idea of what if Zelda actually explored temples and dungeons with you, instead of waiting to be saved. Not entirely sure how it would work in terms of game mechanics, but it did inspire this little painting nonetheless.

... I'll probably find some horrifying mistake in this and ninja fix it later.

Thanks! I actually wasn't thinking siblings. More like Player 2 skin.

Thanks!

Yeah, they do look similar. I had this sort of "Co-op Zelda" game in mind. Like I said I have no idea how such a game would work out, but it sounded cool in my head.
No evil can stand against the mystery twins!

Wow this is a really cool picture!  I love the lighting!

I'm also pretty excited for E3.  I really hope they show us some cool stuff from the new Zelda game.  I'm excited by the size of the world.  Plus I want to see if the rumors are true about Link being a girl this time

Thank you so much!

I've heard another rumor that you'll be able to choose your gender along with your name. There's just so many rumors!

Oh, I don't mean to bash. They were great characters. I was actually sad to see Navi leave Link at the end.

Thanks for the comment!
