Description

My second of three entries for :iconfanartintegrityclub:'s annual OC Contest. :)

Fandom Source: "The Legend of Zelda"
Name: Zelda, Chosen of the Crown
Age: Early 20's
Family: Her father, King Darnem Kaepora Hyrule, and mother, Queen Zelda Tetrana Hyrule XII. She also considers her nurse-maid/teacher, Impa, a family member and refers to her as "Aunt Impa".
Strengths: Exceptionally sharp-sighted, gifted with long-range weapons. Highly intelligent, adept with strategizing. Always works to balance pragmatism with compassion and understanding. Strongly confident in herself and her friends.
Weaknesses: Poor with short-range combat. Can sometimes over-analyze a situation rather than react quickly. Struggles to balance her personal feelings and desires with her responsibilities as a Princess and Leader.
Special Abilities: Holds the Triforce of Wisdom. This allows her to communicate telepathically with those she shares a close personal bond with and to sense the presence of powerful sources of Magic from a certain range. There is deeper power to the Triforce, but she cannot use it until she achieves the personal balance that leads to true Wisdom.
Relationships With Canon Characters: Close child-hood friend of Link, Hero of the Crown. She loves Link dearly and wishes to tell him, but fears that acknowledging her feelings might compromise her objectivity as a Leader and thus chooses to keep it secret. Nonetheless, she cares sincerely for Link, and trusts him with her life while always making sure to be there for his sake as well.

Biography:
It is the Seventh Age of Hyrule, a time of peace. The eve of Princess Zelda's coronation draws near. And dark shadows are gathering...

For as long as she can remember, Zelda has known what it means to be a Princess. From her father, she learned a Princess must lead. From her mother, she learned a Princess must inspire. Most important of all, she learned that a Princess must protect from her closest friend, Link. Link, who always believed in her and stood by her side when no other child could see past her title. Link, who she chose to be her personal bodyguard because she knew she could always trust him.

Yet she is so much a Princess, she leaves little room for herself.

On the day of Zelda's coronation, she rides upon her white horse to take her place as a true Princess of Hyrule with Link at her side. And then disaster strikes. An attack of unprecedented force mounted on Castle Hyrule, led by monsters of all shapes and sizes. In all the chaos, Zelda tries to keep the monsters at bay while trying to figure out how to counter the attack, only for Link's adopted mother, Captain Sarius of the Royal Guard, to command Link to take Zelda to safety and leave the rest of them behind; if Zelda is taken, all hope is lost.

And so Link and Zelda made their escape together, desperate to forge a plan to retake Hyrule and save its people.

While resting in a hidden cave following their flight from Hyrule, they are visited by the spirit of Zelda's nursemaid and teacher, the elderly Sheikah Impa, who tells them that this attack on their land has been orchestrated by Gannondorf, ruler of the Dark World. According to Impa, the Dark World was once a place of purity known as the Sacred Realm, until Gannondorf came and twisted it into a land of Darkness. Now, at last, he has come to conquer the rest of Hyrule. Impa tells them there is only one hope: if the three Eternal Jewels-Din's Fire, Farore's Wind, and Nayru's Love-are unsealed and placed within the legendary Goddess Crown, it can be wielded by one who is wise of mind and pure of heart. Once the Crown is awakened, so too is its twin, the blade of Evil's Bane known as the Master Sword, and if both are united with ones who are worthy of their power, together they may restore the Sacred Realm and vanquish Gannondorf once and for all.

And so Zelda takes on the greatest responsibility a Princess can face. To save all of Hyrule, with Link at her side. Yet how can she succeed, when her Wisdom remains unbalanced with her heart...?

I really like how you drew her crossbow and armor. Lots of beautiful details and etching into the metals. And as I've said of the other pictures in your Zelda series, the background is wonderful!
