Original Concept Art for Zelda's Lullaby

Zelda's Lullaby was originally inspired by a dream I had, where Link ended up with the infant child of Princess Zelda. I thought it was such a fun concept that I drew a few sketches and realized that people LOVED the idea. So the story "Zelda's Lullaby" was born. Here are some of the early sketches I drew as I developed this idea.

The very first drawing of Link and Zelda, which went viral on Reddit.

Various sketches of Link, trying to hone in on his character design. I liked the idea that he was a Sheikah from Kakariko, especially since it was the Sheikah gear I liked the most in Breath of the Wild.

While I do like some of the older Zelda games, I found myself drawn more and more to the BotW aesthetic and world.

Jerin is actually one of my favorite characters. He just makes a really bad first impression upon the readers. XD

How does Link travel with a baby? With lots of stuff on his back. I had to figure out a way to draw all of his stuff that seemed somewhat feasibly for him to survive out in the wilderness with a child. It's not really. Which is why I gave him a pack goat.

Some of the Zora friends we meet in the interludes. I had fun with Berry's design (who is on the very right).
