Got to playing around with more concepts, and I thought of a little "What-If" for Kokiri warriors. And then after playing Horizon Zero Dawn, I got really inspired to draw Saria in HZD-esque clothing.

So what makes HZD really neat is you can make arrows and other tools out of materials you find while you explore in the wild (it's often compared in some ways to Breath of the Wild, since they were released around the same date). So it made me think of the concept where maybe Saria (along with a few other Kokiri) were chosen by the Great Deku Tree to help protect the Forest from any danger. Most weapons that Kokiri would use for combat and archery are all crafted by these warriors, with guidance from the Deku Tree.

With Saria, she'd have what I'd call the Kokiri Spear (equipped somewhat similarly to how Link equipped the Kokiri Sword), and for her bow, I would actually call that the Fairy Bow. Mainly because it would make more sense that a weapon like that would have more of a forest-y type look, and it's also heavily referenced from the Fairy Bow in Epic Battle Fantasy. Which I've not played, but you can see it here: epicbattlefantasy.fandom.com/w…

And of course, all Kokiri will have their own guardian fairies, but for the warriors, these fairies can help target enemies for more precision in archery and other projectiles used in combat.

Enjoy~!
