Link Vs. Octoroks

Description

Another Link picture? Well, I just finished playing through the first Legend of Zelda again, and I guess I'm just in that sort of mood.
It's not the most epic or iconic battle but it is one of the more frequent ones. I also kind of like the idea of Link wandering into these cute, apparently harmless creatures and they start spitting rocks at him.

Legend of Zelda, what a success! This submission does tribute the game series with honor.

I really liked that you as the artist jumped in the world of Hyrule and candidly depicted an encounter in a way that seems more typical than the way it is sensationalized in the series. I mean that instead of orchestral music blasting out of the surround sound speakers, a giant red arrow pointing at a monster, a fairy screaming "Look!" and "Listen!", a battle boils down to this: Link is pelted with stones and attacks, and when they stop, Link slashes in return.

Block with shield. Brandish sword. Bloack with shield. Brandish sword. That is how battles go. And you depicted the reality of the battle. Beautiful execution!! (No pun intended).
