Thank you all for your contributions!

Whether you reblogged the posts, tagged someone, or shared new or existing pieces, this has been a great time and the love and attention we brought to these less-loved games means so much.

We're going to keep the blog around (as much as we've all struggled with our personal lives and been late on occasion.) The information posts will be re-reblogged, and we may start reblogging fanworks here ourselves.

Please continue to use the information and works posts to share your thoughts, works you've made, or ones you wish someone else would adopt! We are still a community, and still checking this space!

Once again, thank you for your participation and I hope we'll continue to see more done!

CURRENT PHASE: POSTING!

The month of August is focused purely on created works, primarily new – we want you to make things! -- but also the old, we’re not picky.

Reblog the main posts we create with links to your works, or @thelittlelegends and use the tag(s) The Little Legends/thelittlelegends and whatever games you created for! We will try to reblog things we’re tagged in, but we still might miss some!

There is no such thing as a late entry! The posts will remain rebloggable indefinitely, but we may be less attentive once August is done in terms of reblogging your contributions back here.

IF YOU WANT TO TREAT THIS AS AN EVENT:

The “posting” month begins August 1st with Minish Cap, and ends August 31st, two days after Wind Waker is posted.

Hard mode: besides that this went up the day before... have every game entry done before the next game after it is posted.

Is there a reward? Not at the moment, but we will be deeply grateful and you will get showered with love for your services! If someone states an intention to try for completionism, perhaps we can work something out!

BRIEF GUIDELINES:

You may share other people’s work as well, but please find and @ the author on Tumblr (or comment on their AO3 if you can’t find a Tumblr url) if you do!

While we can't -- and don't want to! -- stop you from reblogging with stuff based in an AU, we ask that you focus on materials that highlight the setting and side characters of the game in question in the works you produce and share. Something that focuses on just Wind Waker Link isn’t as meaningful as something happening on Outset Island. A well-done Link’s Awakening Space AU (ala @ovegakart's short piece here) is very welcome!

Recommended tags for the games themselves usually follow these formats:

LOZ: [Abbreviation, eg. MC, AOL, OoA, LA, etc.] Legend of Zelda: [full name] [Full name] eg. Legend of Zelda (1986) or LOZ (1986) (Remember Tri Force Heroes is three words!)

I am unsure if there's a standard tag on Tumblr to disambiguate Four Swords (2002) from Four Swords (manga) but you can start using that if you'd like for this purpose!

Posting Schedule for games in August:

August 1st: Minish Cap August 3rd: Adventure of Link August 6th: Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons August 8th: Cadence of Hyrule August 10th: Phantom Hourglass August 12th: Four Swords & Four Swords Adventures August 15th: Link’s Awakening August 17th: The Legend of Zelda (1986) August 19th: Link to the Past August 22nd: Tri Force Heroes August 24th: Spirit Tracks August 26th: A Link Between Worlds August 29th: Wind Waker

Yes, Wind Waker falls under the Little Legends! Its AO3 count is only 739!

Wind Waker was the successor to the wildly successful Ocarina of Time. It went in a very different direction with art which polarized the community but has remained a timeless style that's held up over the years. Whatever you think of it, it remains as good as it began! It also opened up the map to new and exciting mechanics with the game's companion, the King of Red Lions!

At present it is available on Gamecube, Wii, and WiiU (in HD, with a much improved Triforce quest.) A text walkthrough for the HD version is here from Zelda Dungeon, and a video play through with commentary is here, from Game Grumps.

Reblog and add what you love about the game, things you would like to see, or other resources for those who would like to learn more about it! Here are some suggestions to get you started:

Spirit Tracks is a beloved twist on the overworld movement in so many Zelda games: travel between locations is restricted to movement on a train, with combat and mini-games baked in! It is a two-character experience, with many sections requiring you to move Link and Zelda sequentially to cover two positions at once or traverse terrain one or the other cannot cross. It's one of the most intensive playable-Zelda options in the main series at the present time and many fans adore it for that (and for Zelda's strong personality.)

At present, it is only available on 3DS and buying the game quite expensive. A text walkthrough is here from ZeldaDungeon.net, and my favourite video walkthrough (with commentary) is also ZeldaDungeon's. Other Let's Plays without commentary, and without being guides are easily searched online.
