It's the moment you've all (Ralph) been waiting for!  These are the comics that I write about The Legend of Zelda.  They are the first ones in which I use my unique art style, and you can kind of see it evolve as the comics progress.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, refer to The Kelly Chronicles (see sig link).

However, I would like to make an important note: THESE ARE BASED OFF OF THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME

They're still fun to read if you haven't played the game, but you'll understand them better if you have.  Also, since the comics follow the game's plot, they will spoil it for you.  So, if you still want to play it yourself first, I recommend you hold off on reading.

Another important thing to know about these is that this story is without end.  I've written a ton of these already, and as of yet they are still not finished.  I'll try to keep up with making them so I can continue posting them, but we may hit a rut eventually.  But that won't be for a looong while.

I'm going to try to post two every other day again, but you'll have to forgive me if I miss a beat.  College life can be so cruel...

#1 & 2



Unlike The Kelly Chronicles, Hylian Odyssey is written in pencil.  I never inked them over, so I use Photoshop's Auto-Levels function to make the scans more readable.  I've recently started writing them in pen, but that's only after 180 pencil ones.

Ah, it's the beginning of an epic...I hope you guys enjoy these!

more like "EPIC FAIL!" OOOH!

45 minutes, tops.

Anyway, while it's not quite as epic as the Kelly Chronicles, it still has its moments.  There will be times when you'll laugh, and times when you'll shout "ELI, WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOU WHEN YOU WROTE THIS?!  AAAGH!"  Hopefully, both in good measure (I like the idea of people screaming at computers).

So it's basically a webcomic?

The idea is great. I like comic strips as long as they have on-going stories that change and progress. So it'll be great to have the story progress and change while it goes along (instead of the usual..."5 years pass and it's still trying to be funny" routine)

Well, not so much a webcomic as an ordinary comic that is presented on the web...but it does have a progressive storyline.  This way I don't have to worry about hitting a punchline every four frames.  I try not to force my humor, either.

#5 & 6



In the early ones, I wasn't real big on "finessing."  That's why some of the art is so crappy (but isn't it crappy all the time?).

Lol, aside from the really childish art. This is actually a pretty good take on Zelda 64. Some parts are pretty funny too.

I like the dialogue.

Yeah, my comics have Da Vinci spinning in his grave.

But, seriously, there's a lot more to my art style than meets the eye.  An initial glance would suggest that it's childish, but it has changed over the years, and there's a certain amount of detail I can convey in unique ways.  These comics are the first ones I ever wrote this way, so I was still figuring out how I wanted to draw some things back then.  You can see my art evolve!

And these are almost completely reliant on dialogue.

#7 & 8


That 'lienz cossack' thing is in the 'traitor' sense from Goldeneye 007.  When I showed this comic to my aunt in the military, she blew me away by telling me what the term really meant.  Yeah, I'm ignorant...


I was just making stuff up w/ Demon-Cricket, but it gets explained later anyway.

Enjoy!

Yeah!  Stupid gravity!

Link was more prone to senseless violence against his friends in these older episodes.  He grows out of it eventually (don't worry, dear, it's just a phase...).

Ah, the first double-post...truly, the series has begun.

#11 & 12



I got to make up all kinds of stuff in these two.  I would like to apologize if I offended any japanese people or nazis in the making of these comics, respectively.

Unless you knew exactly where you were going and cut every possible corner, there was no way you'd ever reach the castle before nightfall.  You would be right by the drawbridge, and it'd pull up and leave you stuck fighting Stalchildren all night.  This is what usually happened to me when playing the game.

Come to think of it, Castle Town sucks at night, too.


Navi tells you stuff about all the things Link sees on his adventure.  Informative!

Though this doesn't quite catch up the Fairy Files, the adventure continues after this anyway.  This is the only time there's more than two of them in a row, and they become a regular feature after this point.  Each time five new characters/monsters are introduced, you better believe Navi will tell you all about them (unless she completely forgot one, which means they'll either get covered later or not at all).

We'll never find out where Link really got the frying pan, but it still comes up every now and then later.

Link doesn't like long boring cutscenes.

I don't know if Impa was supposed to have a freakish appearance, but if she was, then the creators of OoT nailed it.

Sorry about the delay.  I know I usually have these up by 6:30, but I slept in and Imageshack was having retard issues besides.

#25 & 26


Who didn't attack the Cuccos, at least once before?


The symbol that's the title of 26 (besides being the pound sign) is the musical symbol for sharp, or as close as I can come to it on a keyboard.  Also, if you look to the right a little bit on 26, you'll see a real Lantern Ghost getting stomped.

The symbol that's the title of 27 (besides being a lower-case b) is the musical symbol for flat, or as close as I can come to it on a keyboard (just like on 26!!!).

Also, Zubat is from Pokemon, and Shy Guys are from Mario.  If you didn't know that already, then God help you in reading these.

Don't worry, he may have escaped this time, but he'll get attacked by a ReDead eventually.  Since we all know how much fun that is.
