Sorry I’ve been playing OoT ever since thesis finished and I couldn’t resist. I’ll get back to finishing commissions now.
Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link.
Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.
This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.
Hope you like it!

Musical Hero’s Bag
Break out the ocarina, Wind Waker, harp or flute to play your favorite Legend of Zelda tune off these new messenger bags from Level Up Studios. Each messenger bag comes with ten rubber song note pins so you can compose your favorite song on the embroidered musical score on the flap.
I found this YouTube playlist of all the Ocarina of Time songs and I’m obsessed. I’ve been listening to it non-stop. It’s fun to relive in-game memories and my productivity skyrockets whenever I listen to it.
I will standby that Song of Storms is the best Legend of Zelda song followed closely by the Legend of Zelda Opening Theme. What’s your favorite Zelda song?
