I like the idea of Link actually being seen with the weapons and items he carries with him. Included in this piece are some of my favorites from the game.
Roc's Cape, which allows you to jump over large gaps
Pegasus Boots: So you can dash across precarious looking cracks in the ground, or for running into trees and knocking goodies out of their branches
A small bag of who-knows-what. Maybe bombs, or rupees, mushrooms, fairy dust, a Boss Key? Maybe a snack? Good Ol' Raisins & Peanuts?
The Deku Shield carries the sign of the Kokiri. I really like the idea of runes. Like, these magic symbols that represent the language of the universe. In my drawing, there are enemy arrows lodged into the wood, partly broken off by Link's sword, or arm.
The Sword is just a sword.
Wrapped around his left wrist, is a Power Bracelet, which allows the wearer to pull sticky levers and lift boulders. There's a lot of magical jewelry in Zelda and they should be drawn more often.
