What is Courage?

***UPDATE***

I WON THE CONTEST!! I came in first place, and I won the Hoodie!! :D WOOHOOOOOO!!
************

This was made for a contest, hosted by Zelda Dungeon (a Legend of Zelda news/fan website). The contest required people to create something (written, played, drawn, etc) that best described their idea of "Courage"

Courage, being one of the 3 forces that make up the Triforce, (the other two being Power and Wisdom) is a trait held by the series' protagonist, Link. I had to brainstorm quite a bit to finally get an idea for a drawing, and this is the (sort of) final result :D

Facing our fears is something that takes an immense amount of courage to do. As is facing any hardship, or challenge. That ability is something that I noticed in every incarnation of Link. Despite all the monsters, fiends, and almost impossible quests, Link (and in effect, the player) pushes on. And that's what I chose to illustrate in this drawing :)

This piece went through a lot of design changes ^^; I originally planned to have one of the bosses from Ocarina of Time (either Volvagia or Bongo-Bongo) hunched over Link, looking menacing, as bosses do. But I was a little pressed for time, so I compromised and chose to use a dark abyss full of the eyes of enemies and some recognisable bosses.
