Let’s Draw Link from Zelda!

Drawing characters from your favorite games can be super fun! Today, we’re going to learn how to draw Link from the Zelda games. So, grab your drawing tools, and let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

  • Markers or colored pencils
  • Paper

Step 1: Draw Link’s Face

Nose: Start by drawing a small “V” shape near the top of your paper. This will be Link’s nose.

Eyes: Draw two eyes, one on each side of the nose. Make sure they are the same size. Add a tiny oval in the top left of each eye to make them look shiny. Color the eyes, but leave the tiny oval white.

Mouth: Draw a happy smile under the nose.

Step 2: Outline Link’s Head and Hair

Head Shape: Draw the shape of Link’s head by starting under the mouth, curving around the eyes, and connecting back to the chin.

Hair: Draw Link’s hair with curves coming down from the top of his head to his chin. Add more curves on top to make his hair look lively.

Step 3: Add Ears and Hat

Ears: Draw pointy ears on each side of his head, curving them back into the hair.

Hat: Draw a point for the hat, then make a wobbly line that goes up and behind his head, connecting back to his ears.

Step 4: Draw Link’s Body

Body Shape: Draw two lines going down from his chin to make the sides of his body. Connect these lines at the bottom.

Shirt and Belt: Draw a “V” at the top for his shirt. Below that, draw a circle for his belt buckle and add a swirl inside it. Draw lines from the circle to make the belt.

Step 5: Sketch Link’s Legs and Feet

Legs: Draw the outer lines of his legs coming down from the body, then add inner lines that curve out.

Feet: Draw diagonal lines for the toes, then connect them back to the legs. Add curves at the top for the boots.

Step 6: Add Arms and Sword

Arms: Draw the left arm with a diagonal line. For the right arm, draw it closer to the body, leaving some space.

Hands and Sword: Draw a “U” shape for the hand, and add a rectangle for the sword’s handle. Make the blade by drawing an upside-down “V” and connecting the sides to the handle.

Step 7: Final Touches

Other Arm: Draw the other arm, putting it on his hip or belt.

Details: Add any extra details you like, such as a shield or a cool background.

Step 8: Color Your Drawing

Now it’s time to color! Use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to bring Link to life. You can choose your own colors and add extra details to make your drawing special.

Conclusion

Great job! You’ve drawn Link from Zelda. Remember, the best part of drawing is having fun and practicing. Feel free to add your own creative touches and enjoy the process!

  • What was your favorite part of drawing Link, and why did you enjoy it? Can you think of another character you’d like to draw next?
  • Link has a special sword and shield. If you could have a special item like Link, what would it be and what would you use it for?
  • When you draw, do you like to use lots of colors or just a few? Why do you think colors are important in a drawing?
  1. Character Observation Walk: Take a walk around your home or neighborhood and look for objects or people that remind you of Link. For example, a green leaf could remind you of Link’s hat, or a stick could look like a sword. Draw or write down what you find and share it with your class or family. This will help you see how everyday objects can inspire your drawings.
  2. Create Your Own Character: Using the steps you learned to draw Link, create your own character! Think about what kind of hero you want to create. What will their hair look like? What kind of clothes will they wear? Draw your character step by step, just like you did with Link. Share your drawing with a friend or family member and tell them about your character’s adventures.
  3. Story Time with Link: Imagine a short story where Link goes on a new adventure. Draw a picture of one scene from your story. It could be Link finding a treasure, meeting a new friend, or exploring a mysterious forest. Share your story and drawing with your class or family. This will help you think creatively and use your drawing skills to tell a story.
