I left the room for 30 seconds to grab some chips after I told this mother to take her teen daughter to the fair.
I came back to the mother in her fanciest outfit, ready to enter a hot dog eating contest. The daughter was still back on the sidewalk in front of their apartment, considering the hollowness of life.
My Sim wanted to work out to some music, but one of her roommates decided she wanted to dance in her nightgown, too. This blue dress Sim CONSTANTLY dances on the top floor of the dorm. ALL THE TIME.
My Sim lit her dorm on fire trying to make waffles, but all she cares about is crying that she’s very hungry.
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!
While Nintendo isn’t likely to do something like this themselves, It would fit just as excellently into its own original setting.
If you get an indie developer to do something with this, please bring me on board for concept art, tia.
A better name than The Secret of Zelda, that’s for sure.
