Study - Nayru

I felt it would be fun to make a study of every Zelda character once in awhile, both canon and OC that I have drawn or will come to draw in my series and maybe shed light as to why I chose their designs.

"Din created beings of power in her favor, such as the Gerudo and Gorons, to worship only her. Farore created beings of free spirit such as the creatures of the Kokiri Forest to worship only her. Nayru created us Hylians, and in her wisdom lets us worship her sisters equally. " -Scrolls from King Gustaf of Hyrule's library records.

Full name and other titles: Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom, Herald of Order

Appearances: A Link to the past, Ocarina of Time, Mentioned in Twilight Princess and Windwaker (canon), TBA (non-canon)

Design Notes: Here I wanted to show that I would think the Goddess in all their power are capable of assuming a physical form. It seems insulting to limit the appearance of an omnipotent being, but considering how radiant the Goddesses would be in their true forms it would make sense they would have to limit themselves to appear before their mortal creations (Like that will ever happen...). For Nayru I took the looks of her oracle from Oracle of Ages as the basis for her physical form. Slowly but surely her golden body melds into that of a Hylian-esque beauty.
