Description
So the idea for this came from a desire to mess with my brother. We always say that he's Dark Link and I am Link, and recently, at Anime Nebraskon, we cosplayed as those roles with his fiancee as Zelda--with a twist. Dark Link has won and put his enemies in chains. He dragged us both through the con shackled. He was enjoying being evil way too much!
Anyway--Ghirahim freaks my brother out, so I decided that instead of going after Link, he has invaded a water temple in some version of Hyrule and approached Dark Link instead. Dark Link, about to seek out his enemy, intending to run his sword through Link's heart, is surprised by a sudden presence behind him and a hand on his shoulder. Another hand grasps his chin and he finds himself face to face with one who calls himself a demon....
Link, in the background, is a bit smug and intends to sneak out while Dark Link is dealing with his visitor. I was inspired mostly by Ocarina of Time, but it was not meant to be any specific temple. I was gonna put Link in his normal green tunic for contrast, but then I wanted Ghirahim to look different and out of place...and for Link to be more a part of the background, so I gave him the Zora tunic to blend in with the grays and blues. Ghirahim, on the other hand, is stark white. He wears crimson and gold, and does not bother to try and blend in. It suits his personality.
This ended up being really fun to draw!
