excited and nervous to show u guys this one!! it's been in the works for quite a while 🏃‍♀️ 💨

i've had a couple of pretty rough months this year and had my spirits for drawing wane on and off, and ultimately i'm glad i've come back to it!! drawing and animating really makes me happy hehe 🐛

always so surprised that people enjoy what i make... i'm really grateful to have the people around me be so supportive (that includes you!!) and it always brings me back to why i love making art so much. i hope u enjoy this little short! 🌼 have a great day ahead ^_^

    Something about Link taking an impulsive, unflattering selfie and sending it without a second thought just feels right.
  • Link smiling when he sees her message and then going completely neutral when he takes the selfie is perfect.
  • Just noticed that their old texts at 1:58 showing that it was actually Zelda that showed those candies to Link and that he bought them afterwards and gave one to her! So cute!
  • @Egg-gx5bn
    I feel bad for anyone who misses this because her content is top tier
  • @jsjoel16
    The little things like the few frames of texts between the two of them talking about chuchus being cute, and Link giving Zelda a chuchu candy cause of it are such cute details!
  • @TheBubonicDingus
    watching this animation feels like drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows in a fluffy blanket if that makes sense?? its super cute :>
  • @Love2DrawManga
    Rewatching it and can we take a moment to appreciate the animation complexity of Link spinning the pen around in his hand!! I would be so confused trying to animate that!! 0:31
  • The art and animation style is peak. The way link just saw her and totally fumbled his pencil then blushes like a cutie is just hilarious and believable to me
  • @VaguelyRowlet
    I want to express how much I like the lack of dialogue. It really allows the animations and expressions to tell the story and how the characters are feeling. I adore that kind of thing
  • I literally need an hour of this. I'm obsessed with your art style and zelink is literally my life lol. I can research these all day and never be bored of them I swear.
  • @toastedmelon
    the way link goes all stoic to take the photo before blushing and smiling again AAAAAA this is so good 🥹
  • @marykirkland82
    link sending a selfie with a thumbs-up made me laugh out loud, he absolutely would do that!! the characterization is spot-on
  • @Jaja-gamer
    2:30 i love the detail that link is happy but he act like « ok » when he take a picture
  • @oyu-nurukunatta
    リンク、写真では真顔だけどその前後で笑顔抑えきれてないのめっちゃ可愛いな。すっぱくて悶えてるゼルダも可愛い。
  • @emris2697
    Link loosing the pen and just immediately accepting defeat is such a mood
  • @LeviThoughts
    the photo link sent zelda basically represents his nature as a simple creature
  • @keeganmoore99
    I like how Link's stoic nature is shown even in his texts. They're quick, to the point and he uses emoticons instead of emojis.

    AWWW AT THE END HE WAS ACTING UNBOTHERED IN THE PHOTO BUT WAS BLUSHING BEFORE AND AFTER
