Description OH HEY I ACTUALLY MADE THIS. YAY.

but anyways, here is my take on Deku Link! I based it mainly off of his manga appearance, cuz seriously, he is absolutely ADORABLE.
then of course I had to go and make everything creepy and make his eyes weird. go figure.

I'm pretty happy with how Deku Link himself came out (dat wood skin tho) but I really HATE how everything else turned out. I ran out of room, so the spin effects had to be condensed down really far, so that looks all crappy, and the sparkles aren't nearly bright enough. but meh, I guess that's what happens sometimes. and yes I am aware the spinning effect actually area supposed to come from his hat, but like I said, I ran out of room.


deku link is my second favorite of the transformations, in close contest with my absolute favorite Goron Link, due to being SO FRIGGIN COOL. yeah, he isn't the best fighter, but his spin attack can be useful in some tight situations, and his minigame with the deku flowers was a ton of fun. also, the fact he is so short he has to jump up to turn the doorknobs is hilariously adorable. it's like those videos of cats trying to open doors.

in case you were wondering, Goron link is my 1st favorite, Deku my 2nd, Giant my 3rd, and Fierce Deity and Zora tying for last because: swimming is annoying and I hate the beaver game, and Deity makes boss fights way too easy. YES I KNOW THAT'S THE POINT BUT I DONT CAAAAAARE

Soon enough I'll get the remake and see what I've been missing for so long... Sure, I have the 64 game but it belongs to my brother and I doubt he'll let me delete any files, let alone if the 64 still runs that game today.

On another note, dat wood texture...

 t-thanks so much! I generally try to avoid drawing too much wood (its so hard ), so this was a major crash course for me. but I am very happy with how dah little guy turned out.

and oh gosh I love your little walking Deku icon!

You're very welcome!
Deku Link can be challenging to draw simply for his woodgrain skin but you did nicely! I used to hate drawing wood texture myself, and there was a year-long period that I simply wouldn't bother with it on deku scrubs anymore, haha. XD But I can definitely relate!

And thank you! That would be my character, Iris I'm quite fond of the icon myself, probably because I've used it for so long. I do tend to make deku walk cycles every now and then when bored <3

the gorons will always be my favorite, but I've always been partial to plant people. especially when they are as adorably quirky as the dekus.

I find Dekus to have the cute factor. That reminds me, you seen Hyrule Warriors?

i know, there are just so many little adorable details that i love, like how he makes such a funny pitter-patter noise when he walks.

YES, I LOVE THE MANGA! I mean sure, it isn't perfect (especially in the boss fights) but the art and character interactions are always amazing. and I'm not even especially fond of that sort of anime styles!

You're welcome. . If you get the chance do you think you could give me a few tips on my colored pencil drawings? You don't have to. I know you are busy and if you don't get the time to do it it's ok.
