back from only being able to access my personal blog for almost 6 years | 29 | she/her | mostly a legend of zelda blog with other fandoms mixed in | currently cleaning this place up it's a work in progress

The lack of human emotion shown in botw hurts my heart, I keep comparing Link’s facial expressions to those in Skyward Sword. The sky child was so wholesome and happy and the wild child is just straight up depressed.

Compared to botw…

In Skyward Sword, Link’s whole face is used to convey emotions and thoughts, the use of his eyebrows is very important in conveying these facial emotions. In BotW Link’s lack of eyebrow action makes his face seem very stone like and he conveys little emotion. I understand that the tone of this Link is very different then the tone of Skyward Sword’s. link in botw has carried the burden of the master sword and protecting a princess he knows nothing about, where as in Skyward Sword Link is fighting to save his best friend/partner. These two things are very different. BotW Link never fails to break my heart, he’s so worn out and sad.

(Edit: while y’all are here, I post lots of loz content! I am doing Linktober for the whole month and also post fanfics for Zelink and head canons for my version of Link! I would appreciate it if you checked out my work! Thank you for being here! 💖)
