Description
Link and Linkle helping each other during such dire moments. I would imagine Linkle being the master craftsman in combining weapons/setting traps while Link delivers the physical attacks.So I learnt that Linkle isn't Link's little sister through Hyrule Warriors (gosh I really dislike her name), but I like to imagine that they are siblings or family in a way.
I drew these two a while ago but decided to do another one with more of a story behind it and with more expression.
Work-in-progress screenshot >here< with a bit of an explanation of how I work.

Fun fact: Linkle was originally going to be Link's little sister but when the game was released, Nintendo strapped that for some reason. I still think they're siblings

So since Link is based off Peter Pan according to the creator of the Zelda games,
I think Linkle should be named "Linkerbell".
Haha

I think so too! But I would say Tinkerbell would be Navi from Ocarina of time

I think you'd be right. Navi is definitely portrayed that way.
Especially with the bell sounds she and other Zelda fairies have in the 3D Zelda games.
Now we just need a molduga with a clock in its mouth, and the Gerudo as pirates again, with Ganondorf as the obvious captain.

Funny
They make Link a small Boy,
they make Link a young Man.
They make him a small Deku,
they make him a hot Zora,
they him him a strong Goron.
They make him a Wolf,
they make him a dark Self,
they make him into a freakin' DEITY of Wrath!!
Yet when Fan's (no kink involved) ask and beg for YEARS that Nintendo makes a "Girl-Version" of him,
the Developers get their Nerves into a Panic and have all Excuses not to 
It "ALMOST" gives You the Impression they "are into small/young Boys" (no Calumny intended 
But hey,
" AT LEAST " they made a cool, adorable, cute and new Character,
where everyone knows - "Aha! THIS could easily be the Girl-Version of Link"
( tough everyone who studied "Linkle" for a bit, knows her Character Personality is clearly different than Links

This is absolutely awesome, them assisting each other in combat would be awesome! I would've preferred it if they were actual brother and sister.
Also, I dislike her name as well. Why didn't they call her Linka? I think that would've worked way better.

Actually, the Developers seemed to be in a bit "of a Panic" to "NEVER" make a Girl-Version of Link
Everythings fine
Majora's Mask? - > freakin' " DEITY OF WRATH LINK " who destroy's everything in his Path
Plus never forget
Plus "Wolf"-Link in Twilight Princess - > plus "Dark Link",
yet when " m~aaany Fans " ask for a Girl Version of Link,
the Developers were only like: " W~UUAAAHHH (Γ_Γ) N~OOO!!! HURRY!! We MUST create another Character!!! "
Thus, Linkle was born
She is clearly not intended to be "Girl-Link", but everyone knows she could easily be Links Genderswap

I honestly do not see the harm in having a female option in a Zelda game.Β The only thing that would change would be the relationship status between Link and Zelda, and even then it would not be by much.Β Link hardly ever ends up with Zelda romanatically, that it would be fine.
It also would not be a problem if a female link ended up with Zelda, it's always an option.
They should either give the option to play as a male or female link, or make Zelda a playable character in a mainline game.Β Why wouldnt a princess/queen want to defend her people?
Ester from the Bible ring any bells?Β I'm sure there are lots of examples in real life and in fiction, that was just the one that came to mind the quickest.

Interesting how no one is screaming about how there isn't a man version of Samus or Lara Croft.
No one is worried about how we don't see female versions of Mario or Luigi. Or male versions of Peach/Daisy/Rosalina.
And despite every variation possible, no female Sonic.
It's almost like the person is a character with certain defined characteristics that shouldn't change like name, gender and general personality.

I just remembered how agitated some folks where when "Bowsette" made her Debut ... ...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I imagine they were furiously busy with something else. -insert eggplant emoji here-
However most people that were offended by Bowsette were offended by her "bimbo-ification" as opposed to Bowser becoming female.
Although honestly the whole concept was based on an in-game principle of the crown that makes the wearer more like Peach.
So not much of a stretch for Bowser who has used the cat bell to be Meowser, to use this crown power-up and become Bowsette.
But even that is still just a temporary on/off switch.
Zelda fans who want a female Link aren't looking for an on/off temporary switch, but rather a playable female Link.
Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I feel like there is a difference there.

I love it! Linkle is SO awesome! She kicks ass! Also, I agree that them being family some how would be cool.

the fact they did not just make Linkle Aryl both in name in relation is such a misstep really, I choose to see this image as Link being aided by his SISTER named ARYL
π: 0 β©: 1
It's funny that you say that because it turns out that Linkle was originally considered to be Link's younger sister, but Eiji Aounuma spoke against that because he didn't wan't Linkle's existence to conflict with Aryll's.

Linkle is such a stupid name. 
My headcanon is that girl!Link is just another reincarnation but I'd be happy with her as Wind Waker's sister grown up too.

Great job on the expressions! You really show a mastery of that in this picture!

I think my favorite thing about this is just.... the placement and posture of these two in the composition. I'm sure somebody will think I'm a totally archaic-thinking sexist for this, but....
The right side. You've got Link, the male, with a slightly stronger and taller posture, on the lookout for danger, and these very angular, sharp shapes on his side, dragon-silhouettes, arrows and all this very aggressive imagery--aoh gwa I love the look on his face--
And then the left side. You've got caaaan't bring myself to type it, the female, more passive posture, not really a sense of weakness in what she's doing, but rather a clever way around undoubtedly stronger enemies than she might be able to cope with physically. You've got the rocks behind her, more solid colors giving a sense of cover and relative safety.... gosh I love her hair in her hood, I can just feel the way it would lay against face and neck....
I guess what I mean in a tl;dr kinda way is that.... I just really love the way you've got these two interacting here, in a lovely, balanced set of different character aspects.
Cool.

I never thought about that drawing this piece up actually. It just came to mind.
But reading your comment has given me a new perspective on this. Thank you so much for sharing!
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, I'd wondered whether any of it was actually intentional or just happy accidents, but lookin' at it, it just all comes together so well!

I rally like this as well as of your explanation for the picture!

Looks great.Β
Also I think that Link is the reincarnated Spirit of the Hero, while Linkle is a descendant of a previous Link. That she has the blood of a hero running though her veins.Β
π: 0 β©: 0
yeah, strange choice of name, especially since she's not a parent of link or something.
That said, perfect composition on this artwork.

Love how much more intense the concept is due to how expressive both characters are. You really have a sense of creating an atmosphere!
π: 0 β©: 1
Fantastic artwork!Β I really like the setting of the art piece.Β The depth and volume of how the characters and other things that are placed around them.Β
Yeah, I really wished they would have come up with a better name for her.
π: 0 β©: 0
I hate that name, too lol Β I love the look on her face, too, like "I'm trying to make an arrow, if they don't stop attacking us, I'm going to rip their heads off and bounce them down a hill!"
