Adventurer Hero Zelda

Adventurer Hero Zelda

Improvised design by me, of Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda series, redesigned as the adventurer hero in Hero-tunic style kinda like Link.

---FOR SALE: $180.00--

So this concept, is my idea if Zelda were to need to be the one doing the rescuing~

Pretty much spliced some of her dress styles with Link’s tunic from the series. Utilized different details from different games, then when transferring the concept to custom pony figure, I did a lot of my own readjustments that would work best for the pony figure, a lot of improvising I pulled out of my head.

Who knows, maybe Zelda needed to ditch the dress, take over a mission to keep Link from running off from Midna? xD

The possibilities are endless~

This is also prone further confusion among not actual Zelda fans who think that Link’s name is Zelda already xD

Well…

And for the record, this concept is purely fan-made. Though there are similar concepts that exist in the Zelda Phillips CD-i series where the Princess adventures in a tunic-like-outfit and wields a sword, and of course there’s the new game coming out with a “female Link” named Linkle.

I actually got the idea to make this custom sparking, after I watched the CD-I Zelda games be played, on YouTube.

Pony base is a generation 3 pose that had a 3-D cutiemark.

Entire pony coated in Gesso to give paint a texture to bond to, body painted in flesh tone acrylics but in a coral hue that has more of a peach to it.

Eyes also hand-painted, in realism/anime-fusion style, all paint work sealed in Artists Varnish. Original ears are under hat but I wasn’t happy with that so I made leather elf “Hylian” ears, painted them the body color then attached them. Made her an earring in left ear.

Mane and tail rooted in 6 different pigments of hair. The wavy hair is wig hair I bought from a store, the darker golden blonde is Midas Touch from Doll Planet, Dollyhair nylon mlp hair in the colors Peaches & Cream, Passionfruit and lemondrop, then RetrodollUS’s Jonquil pale yellow.

Had to do quite a bit of styling to give the hair style a shape.

Tied leather in her ponytail and stitched blue and red beads in it.

Outfit- started with boots and gloves. Boots stitched from brown suede, mauve hemp cord bows attached and brown rhinestones.

Gloves stitched from a white fabric with a nice shimmery texture printed on, then a simple band of gold leather strips with rhinestones glued on front.

Tunic- started with sleeves. Used a shimmery pale pink fabric, stitched wide white bias tape then lined a hem of powder blue maxi piping. Used a cotton pink sash along the back of the neck, and for the belly. Made a cross stich of the mauve hemp cord at the front for detail, put a detail of blue ribbon then made a broach from gold vinyl and various rhinestones. Fastened gold spikes along the chest both sides.

Did the skirt of the tunic next, used the same shimmery pale pink fabric, stitched wide powder blue bias tape down the middle, lined both sides with thinner white bias tape and detailed it in red and yellow acrylic paint. Did a cross stitch detail down one side of the mauve hemp cord.

Made her belt from a strip of brown leather, stitched silver beads on it, and a gold heart bead.

On the other side I made a long fringe of light brown leather suede strips, attached silver bead with a purple gem in the middle. Made another purple tassel from wide purple bias tape, made a gold fringe from gold vinyl stitched along the bottom, with pale pink and blue ribbons detailing then a silver hoop at the top with a blue bead in the middle. Made a pouch from the same purple bias tape, stitched it around the belt then embellished it in various purple rhinestone detail. Took paple purple ribbon and made her a string of “red beads” by glueing tiny metallic red rhinestones on it.

Added gold and purple drop beads along the bottom of the tunic skirt.

Crafted her a Master Sword cause the figure was not complete with one.

Double-layered silver vinyl, gave it sturdiness with thick wire then used a dowel for the handle, attached a beads with wire at the end of the handle, wrapped wire around it then added blue leather for the detail of the hilt then a triangle rhinestone I painted gold, then did acrylic paint detail on the blade and hilt. Painted entire handle in pthalo blue acrylics.

Hat- stitched from the same shimmery white printed material that matches the gloves. Lined the brim with the wide powder blue bias tape, then wide pink silk ribbon, painted  Triforce on a large gold circle rhinestone and attached it to the front, and made her a tiara from the gold leather, with gold metallic dots detailing then a gold oval piece with a red gem in the middle to finish.
