Description
Here’s a huge remake of one of my oldest Zelda characters: Zhapon.I’ve always been crazy in Zoras because I think they’re a pretty and cool race. Plus I simply love water and marine life so that helps them being one of my favourite races.
And now some day ago I decided to sketch out remakes of all my Zora characters in Twilight Princess style.
Well, Zhapon here still looks a lot like the Zoras from ocarina of Time/Mjora’s Mask, but it’s because he simply looks like that because his original design comes from ocarina of Time.
I’ll probably do a picture of him in Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask style some day, like just a refresh (and not an almost complete remake) of his original look.
If you wanna see his old look just follow this link: [link]
He’s the green and blue Zora next to the brown-spotted one. BTW, the brown-spotted Zora, Zack, is Zhapon’s half brother.
Also I noticed his torso became too long. I had already fixed it once before I scanned the sketch to colour it, but then it still was too long. I hope it won’t bother you too much. I’ve also spent more time on giving light effects on this picture to give a more “fishy” look
So, let me tell you about Twilight Princess-Zhapon!
Name/Titles/Nicknames: Zhapon. (za-pon)
Also called: Zapp.
Age: Between 20-30
Gender: Male
Race: Zora (Crossbreed: the kind of Zora you see in Twilight princess, river Zora?/Seaweed Zora)
Height: 1,80
Weight: 70 kg
Zelda game timeline: Twilight Princess
Fictions: Twilight Force
Personality:
Calm and quiet.
Serious, he doesn’t like when people are fooling around and acting silly 24/7.
Friendly, and he rarely acts aggressive towards strangers.
Brave, when it comes to fighting and protect his people and family he’s very brave. Some times too brave for his own good.
Job/Status: Guard.
Likes:
Read books. He loves to learn new stuff and he feels like reading is one of the best ways to do so.
He feels relaxed by swimming around in open waters and play around with the marine life.
Hang with his younger half-brother, Zack.
A particular Zora girl who he’s too shy to admit his feelings too.
Dislikes:
That he’s too shy to tell his feelings to the “particular Zora girl”.
When Zack fools around too much.
Shell Blades, jellyfishes and all the other dangerous monsters/creature sin the water.
Weapons: A typical coral/shell spear that most Zora guards has [link] (Twilight_Princess).png
He has a helmet too.
Magic: ---
Other strengths: His intelligence and way of reading peoples fighting strategies makes it easy for him to come up with a way to defeat the person. Also he’s an extremely well-trained spear-fighter.
Weaknesses:
He’s a normal, mortal, Zora. Stab him in the chest with a sword and leave him with no care and you’ll see he’s history soon.
Heat, ice and drought. He’s of a marine race; of course he can’t stand such things for too long.
Relations:
His younger half-brother Zack – Zhapon has taken care of Zack since the day he hatched. He has given him food, shelter, and love and wouldn’t trade him for anything, not even the Trifroce.
Zacks current ref: [link]
His mother Runell – He loved his mother a lot and always felt happy and safe with her. Sadly she died when Zant froze Zora’s Domain, leaving a 17 year old Zhapon, his un-hatched brother Zack and her new boy friend behind.
His father ??? – He never knew his father. All he knows about him is that he was a travelling Seaweed Zora who his mother decided to have a one night stand with.
Zack’s father Lukao – Zhapon highly respects Lukao and sees him as his own father. Lukao has teached him a lot in spear fighting and is as well one of Zora Domain’s guards.
Other facts:
• As earlier stated so is Zhapon a very intelligent person.
• The clamp he carries on his arm was a gift from Lukao.
• Zhapon is not all so happy with his look. He feels like he doesn’t fit with the other Zoras.
This might be edited later on.

Great work with the anatomy My only issue is the legs. To me they don't seem long enough. That's the only flaw I can see, though. Other than that, truly amazing work. Beautiful work on the face.

As I said in Artist's comment his torso became too long. That is why his legs seems shorter than they should be. But I don't blame you for pointing that out!
But howevere I am very thankful that you like the picture! Thank you!
