My interpretation of the world of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I absolutely loved the game, so I wanted to create something as a "thank you" to Nintendo for it.
Everything was drawn from scratch. I could not put "everything" into this picture. Only the main events/areas/important characters /sidequests, whether it was small or major.
• Some characters were drawn more than once (for example, Groose and Ghirahim) because their roles and appearances in the story change.
• Despite there being four Silent Realms in the game, I only drew one of them to save some room, since each goal in each Silent Realm is exactly the same as the last one.
Important mentions:
A very special thank you to ~MasterSageComics for helping me with some minor edits/errors. Seriously I could not have done this without you. <3
