In Totk, the draconified Zelda and Ganondorf have horns similar to Naydra and Dinraal, due to their connection to the triforce.

Wisdom/Nayru backward, spikey blue horns. Zelda has smaller horns because her design's meant to be more elegant.

Power/Dinn curved, warm-coloured horns (some point back on Draganon). The Gan-Man has way more horns, which are very spiky too, which is meant to convey how dangerous he is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So in conclusion, if Link got draconified, his horn would be long and pointy in the middle of his forehead- my bet is that it would resemble the master sword, so it would be straight and probably thinner too.

“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.” “We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.” You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?

Something I cannot overstate the importance of in Critical Role is how often it points out that the idea of going through grief in five linear, relatively short term stages is bullshit.

The five stages of grief as they were originally outlined were never intended to be seen in such a straight order, it was something meant to be a framework to aid understanding, not a worksheet to simplify loss for people who lost someone close to them, and Critical Role gets that in a way that is so, so important.

Some people stay in one stage for years. For Percy, for example, anger motivated an entire arc of the campaign, and when his grief is revisited, and he says “I really miss my family,” it’s no less something to be proud of, even years later.

He is still treated as worthy of being cared about. His grief is still treated as valid. He is still supported and heals in a way that can’t be outlined by stages.

Some people move backwards in the stages. We just saw it with Orym and Laudna, and it wasn’t met with judgement. It was met with empathy, and understanding. Understanding that even if these ideas and actions aren’t necessarily healthy, they come from a place of pain. They make sense.

That’s not a message we get to see in media a lot, but it’s so, so important.

And that’s not even getting into how Critical Role takes an honest look at types of loss that are seldom explored, but happen all the time, like Anticipatory Loss in the lead up to Vax becoming the Champion of Ravens and Ambiguous Loss with Keyleth and her mom and in many, many ways in the Mighty Nein.

Anyway, my point is, Critical Role is really good at showing that grief doesn’t like to follow models, that moves backwards and forwards and sideways, and more importantly, it doesn’t make you a bad, incomplete or broken person if that happens to you.

This is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

this is about what I would expect from the author of Azumanga Daioh writing a Sailor Moon doujin
