Holiday: Trans rights are human rights

Trans rights are human rights 

Trans Pride Axe: Double-bit felling axe with the trans pride flag on the head.

The current American political climate is deeply problematic, so it is important that we stand up for the rights of people who are under attack.

Trans rights are human rights.
Protect trans kids.
Gender isn’t a binary.

If you have an issue with any of that, find a different place to be.

The Minish Cap: Sea Witch’s Charm

 Sea Witch’s Charm

Mysterious Shell: These shells can be found all over Hyrule in every sort of place Link can find items. Link can exchange mysterious shells to purchase various figurines depicting characters, monsters, and bosses from Link’s adventures in The Minish Cap.

Rumors speak of a witch who lives beneath the sea who can grant any wish, for a price. Petitioners of her great power should beware, as the cost of her gifts is always something dear, and the wish always comes with some sort of vicious technicality where the witch can win their very soul. It is said she keeps the souls of her poor, unfortunate victims in the golden shell she wears about her neck, its ever-growing contents empowering and emboldening the witch.

----------

I haven’t drawn an item card for each figurine Link can find in the Minish Cap. If I ever reach the point where I have finished drawing all the items in every Zelda game, I may come back and draw the figurines. With the amount of items in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, as well as the number of echoes in Echoes of Wisdom, I don’t think I will reach that point any time soon.

The Minish Cap: The Dragon’s Scroll

 The Dragon’s Scroll

Tiger Scrolls: The eight tiger scrolls record the new fighting moves taught to Link by the Blade Brothers. After Link has learned the move from a Blade Brother, he receives the scroll to represent his learning and allow him to review what special moves he has mastered. 

This scroll is said to contain the secrets to limitless power. It was inked by a temple master who transcended their mortal form upon completing the scroll. The scroll was left with the cryptic instruction to only be given to the dragon warrior, a presumed mythic figure of a long-ignored prophecy.

----------

There are many props from the Kung Fu Panda movies that I would love to draw.

The Minish Cap: The Golden Touch

 The Golden Touch

Tingle Trophy: If Link can complete 100 kinstone fusions throughout his adventures, the man fairy Tingle will give Link a golden trophy to celebrate his commitment to friendship and kinstones.

When a greedy king earned a boon from the gods, they wished that anything they touched would turn to gold. The king eventually learned a bitter lesson when they turned their favored child into a golden statue. The king’s closest advisors learned an even more important lesson when they learned the king’s severed hand still carries the gilded touch, even after the death of the king and the amputation of his hand.

----------

Midas was not the wisest king, and he was punished for his folly. Don’t make the same mistake Midas made. Make specific wishes with reasonable limitations and safeguards.

The Minish Cap: Greedy Catfish

Greedy Catfish

Kinstone Bag: This sack stores all the kinstones Link collects during his adventures, swelling to near bursting by the end. Link is given the bag near the start of his adventure after conquering the dangers of the Deepwood Shrine.

This massive catfish is responsible for the disappearance of at least three gold rings. The first, it ate off the finger of an unlucky fisher, and the second and third were lost when the same foolish fisher baited their hook with rings only to lose the lures to the wily fish.  There is now an informal bounty on this big fish, with the reward being all the gold the greedy fish has eaten. 

----------

Losing a ring in the water only to eat the fish with your missing ring still inside is fairy tale destiny at its finest.

The Minish Cap: Box of Troubles

 Box of Troubles

Empty Bottle: These bottles hold potions, water, critters, and all other sorts of odds and ends. Link can find up to four empty bottles in Minish Cap. He will need to fuse kinstones, purchase, and trade for the bottles. 

This box was crafted by the gods to hold back all the ills of mortal life. As long as the box remained sealed, the world would remain peaceful. Unfortunately, a curious mortal couldn’t help themselves and they peeked into the box, releasing all the maladies it contained. 

---------

Pushes up glasses, Pandora’s box wasn’t actually a box, and instead should have been translated to Pandora’s storage jar.
