Sonia is the ancestor of all Zelda characters, including the one from Skyward Sword
Totk makes this clear, and Master Works doubles down on this fact. Yet for reasons beyond my comprehension, most Zelda fans deny this. It's like they are immune to facts and evidence.
>母のような包容力や懐の深さを持つとともに、ゾ ナウ族であるラウルと結婚するような大胆さも兼ね 備える女性として、どのように描くかがとても難易度 の高いキャラクターでした。なかでも顔の印象は非 常に難しかったです。目つきが強すぎても弱すぎて もイメージと違い、バランスをとるのに苦慮しました。 妃という高貴な身分でありながら裸足であるとい うのもこだわったポイントです。彼女自身の個性 としての天真爛漫さ、古代人のプリミティブなイ メージ、巫女としての神聖さなど、さまざまな狙 いを込めています。
>As a woman who had to serve two roles, both having the tolerance and depth of heart of a mother, and also the daring to marry Rauru of the Zonai tribe, she was a very difficult character to design. The impression of her face was especially difficult. I was really racking my brain about balancing the strength and weakness in the expression of her eyes. I also made a particular point about her being barefoot despite her noble status as a consort. There were various aims such as the naivety of her own personality, the primitive image of ancient people, and the sacredness of a shrine maiden.
>あらゆるゼルダの始祖のようなイメージを持た せられないかと考え、全身の随所に過去の「ゼル ダの伝説」シリーズのゼルダ姫のモチーフをちり ばめています。皆さんお気づきでしたでしょうか?
>I thought about her carrying an image like she’s the progeniture to every Zelda, so motifs of Princess Zelda’s from the past ‘Legend of Zelda’ series are inlaid throughout her whole body. Did you notice them?
This is very clear. Timeline debate is over. Stop the cope refounders.
