The comparison becomes even more obvious when he's revealed to be Link's Lorule counterpart. (He's even carrying a comically-oversized rupee sack in the ending!) A sharp-eyed player will also notice that he destroys all the pots in Link's house after "renovating" it.


He is aided in his quest with a magic bracelet that gives him the ability to turn into a 2-dimensional painting, letting him walk along walls and enter narrow openings. The game once again features Dual-World Gameplay, though this time Link travels back and forth between Hyrule and Lorule. Satoru Iwata has hinted at the existence of a "mirror" of the Triforce within this world, which shows up on the game's logo as an inverted black Triforce. His journey eventually brings him to a Mirror Universe with a decaying kingdom called Lorule (a land similar to the Dark World from its predecessor) ruled by Zelda's Alternate Self, the somber Hilda. With help from Princess Zelda, the elder Sahasrahla, and the seedy rabbit-costumed merchant Ravio, he embarks on a quest to halt Yuga's reign of terror. The plot sees this Link, an apprentice to a blacksmith, encountering an Evil Sorcerer named Yuga who is traveling across Hyrule turning people into paintings. Shigeru Miyamoto was directly involved in the production, in contrast to the other post- Ocarina of Time games being handled more by Eiji Aonuma.Īlthough Hyrule appears similar to A Link to the Past, it is set long after that story and features a brand new Link. This makes it the 7th game in the " Hero Defeated" branch of the Hyrule timeline leading to the NES games. Chronologically, it takes place after Link's Awakening and the Oracle games, but before the original game and featuring a new Link. The game is essentially a sequel to A Link to the Past, albeit set many generations later. Endlessly inspired and in awe of the queen (she’s essentially his idol), determined to be among the ranks of her court mages one day.The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a game for the Nintendo 3DS released in 2013, the 17th installment in The Legend of Zelda series. Thin as a rail with a timid, shy disposition to match, Ravio scares rather easily, but he works hard and dreams big for his future. He grew up on a farm before he gathered his courage to go for the new apprenticeship program set in place for anyone wishing to pursue a career in serving directly under the crown (which was originally reserved for those born into it). Ravio, age 15, aspiring mage-in-training. A bit of a big sister/mentor figure to Zelda.

She’s strict and can be intimidating with how no-nonsense she is, but does whatever she can to do right by her subjects and allies. She gained her position due to her father stepping down in light of ailing health, and has since earned a reputation of being a just and competent queen. Queen Hilda, age 32, the queen of Lorule and the youngest one to assume the crown (she became queen at the age of 16). After I got Hilda finalized, Ravio was a walk in the park, so I’ma go ahead and show ya’ll! Here are their finished designs side-by-side! :3 Some quick headcanon on them:
