This is attention to details man
Ganon holds a bow straight while Link holds it at an angle.
Ganon also draws the bow like a samurai, (since this Ganon is more samurai like) he positions/aim the bow then draws.
(Not shown here) Even if Link uses a long bow like Ganon he will still aim at an angle since he is a soldier. He positions/aim the bow and draws at the same time.
The bow Ganon uses will recoil meaning this is a heavy bow. (They didnt need to add that detail in, but they did man)

Oooog what if he pretends to submit to Ganon as a gloom created puppet with the heroes' soul trapped within, and Ganon is a over confident little shit about it and let's his "perfect creation" run free to cause havoc. And he finds out that was a mistake, to let him free. Maybe not immediately, maybe not even extremely quickly, but finds out the hard way. That the Goddesses chosen hero's spirit can't be forcefully contained like that. Link is stubborn, and now he's angry directly at him with new powers getting steadily stronger that Ganon himself gave him and can no longer control nor take away from him. Their his powers now, how is he doing these things, how is he learning so quickly, getting stronger so quickly?
And not just angry either, more chaotic, the Link from before would have likely given Ganon a quick death. But gloom link? Why would he. His creation into what he is now was outright torture. The thing he gets angriest about isn't even that he is practically a living corpse, but the idea that he might not be able to safely be near Zelda anymore.

I headcannon that the reason Link in TOTK is lowkey feral and tortures the koroks is because the gloom that almost killed him still possesses him with darkness. Bro now has dark thoughts and impulses. Ok the end

New TotK headcanon: Gloom is basically liquid depression. It’s gnawing hopelessness. It’s the cousin to Malice’s hate. TotK’s Ganondorf was a successful test run for the Curse because he willingly gave up his individuality early in life.
But if you know what it is… you know it’s doing something to you and can be fought.
Which also raises some INTERESTING potential for a Gloom-exposed Happy Mask Salesman…….

broke the master sword? no worries! find its evil version instead!
as ganondorf broke the master sword i think it'd be very fair if link could get Demise's Sword. as a treat. (because stealing his horse isn't enough.)

some more Gloom link au ranting (some repeating just to have almost everything in one place)
Au of He came back "wrong", his memories are there but incredibly foggy, the only crystal clear memories he has are Zelda and Ganon. He spends a long time just wandering the depths in a haze.
He's made entirely of gloom at this point, mostly. If you stripped the gloom away far enough you would find his mummified body. The a mix of his old magic/soul and gloom is literally keeping him alive at this point. Without the gloom his body would fail him and he would die. Pruha and Robbie thinks he can be cured, uh oh! Impa is unsure.
The reason this au happened in the first place is because Raru's arm didn't have enough energy when detaching from Ganon and dissipates. Zelda picks up the Zonai stone as normal, Link protects her from the awakening Ganon as normal, they all fall and Zelda is sent back in time. But no one is there to catch Link from falling into the depths with Ganon.
Ganon takes advantage of the situation, wants to use their hero against them. He tries to control his mind in different ways but none of them work, Link is too stubborn, he won't be controlled. So he decides to just let the gloom overtake him completely and start from scratch with the heroes soul as a baseline. Is this new gloom created Link still Link. Link doesn't know either, who is he, why is he. He does know he isn't going to be taking orders from this asshole, and when he's gained enough strength back makes a run for into the depths. Learning to teleport between sources of gloom.
He is very protective of his tattered champions tunic, the broken master sword (he does later manage to get it to the temple of time), and his only clear memories (mostly being of Zelda) his later interactions with old friends goes as well as you would think when he's a walking corpse now and barely remembers them.
His first interaction with another person after being turned into gloom was with a Yiga, who needed help escaping a Lynle. Link has been enjoying fighting stronger monsters lately just to let off steam. This first yiga doesn't know how to feel about this, they're alive thanks to the guy they want dead, and are they a little more unhinged than usual?
Link is still kind and caring at heart, he collects brightbloom seeds to give to people who can't see in the dark like he can. He will gladly show lost explorers towards the nearest sign of life or an exit. He has become a sort of cryptid/myth
He physically can't talk, he screech like those hands though. And as his control of gloom gets stronger he is able to make different types of noises, like chirping, growling, and laughing. He is still unable to produce words, that would require functional vocal cords and his are unfortunately mummified
He likes covering up completely, usually in the depths set as it contains the gloom he's made of so it's less likely to harm nearby people. It also helps if he needs to go to the surface, the sun is a tad painful these days. Light itself and light magic being particularly harmful to him.
Getting the fully healed master sword from zelda (the light dragon) has a very good chance of outright destroying him. He's the only one who can wield the sword, and the only one who can retrieve it. He will figure it out
He ends up making quite a few friends with Yiga due to his acts of kindness. He doesn't notice he's getting a small following until it's too late to do anything about it. His ability to manipulate gloom has been seen as impressive he guesses. The following gets bigger when he's able to start controlling monsters with the gloom
Can use gloom like glue, can still use Zonai devices to his advantage. They are more likely to fall apart on him though do to the nature of gloom.
Prefers being in the depths at this point. Is concerned about what Zelda will think of him once she's turned back. I'm thinking of having her come back "wrong" too. Anthro dragon princess and the love her life mummified twink resurrected by gloom. Don't worry (worry actually she will over work herself) she'll find a way that they can safely be together.

So I was messing around on procreate…
Tumblr media
I’ve mentioned it before but I headcannon that when link lost his arm and all that gloom went in that it lowkey possessed him and is causing him to have darker thought? I think it would’ve been a cool thing to explore in game. Like his dark side shines through and he’s tryna fight it.
My explanation for why he’s lowkey feral and torturing koroks 😭
I’m still learning digital art. It’s been years. Feel free to leave constructive criticism. I’m trying to get better ✌️

Losing
Lately I feel like everything is against me. I had a very bad week, and a very bad evening. I immediately came home and drew this. Very thankful I can express and cleanse with art.
