Calendar Contest 2012 - The End

Description

Entry for this years calendar contest over at History of Hyrule [link], for the theme *drumroll* history of hyrule. ...well, actually, one of five:
Prologue [link]
The Beginning [link]
The End
Interlude [link]
Finale [link]
(yes, they're all OoT)

Yes, yes, I know this isn't actually "the end." The idea is that this was suppose to be the end; Link only signed up for following the Deku Tree's instructions to find Zelda, and then went through with her idea to get the other two stones to get the Master Sword. Once he got the sword, his job was suppose to be over.

Anyway, I tried to make him look like, well, a 10-year-old that just went through the inside of a giant tree, a volcano, the inside of a giant fish, and just finished diving into the moat to fish out a magical wind instrument, only to find himself in front of a legendary, practically holy relic that has the power to vanquish all evil. So, yeah, I went with wet, beat up, and awe/trepidation (because, despite that all players just probably ran right up the sword and took it, you'd think he'd be more, I don't know, awed yet timid to be before something on par with the hylian holy grail - yes, I know that's suppose to be the triforce, but face it: swords are much cooler than triangles). And, yes, I changed his outfit slightly; I ended up making it without thinking, and when I tried to change it, it wouldn't go. Thus, it stays. And looks better, in my humble opinion.

I like the light-dark in this picture a lot and your idea behind it. It must be very fascinating but also a bit intimidating for a little child to find this. The monochrome fits the picture well with Links eyes standing out. I also like that you thought of the goron bracelet
