Link discovers a mysterious pond in the Pyramid of Power...

And at last, it is done! What started as an unused Zelda zine illustration prompt transformed into a full rewrite of the Cursed Fairy encounter from "A Link to the Past". I was enamored with the idea of designing a Dark World version of a Great Fairy, with ample BOTW inspiration, and once I started thinking about what personality she might have and how she'd treat Link, it was easy to get carried away.

For anyone wondering what I'm rambling about:

My question now:

Do you welcome a clear separation between wild era games & older titles or do you think it complicates things?

Personally, I would be pretty fine with the timeline shown at the event, if there weren't so many references/callbacks to older titles featured in BotW.

That being said, I'm also still wondering why one would put all those in there in first place, if the wild era was never meant to be connected to the other games anyways. Seems like kind of a waste & very misleading.

(I have a theory though. But that's for another day)
