Ravio is one of the new supportive characters from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the 3DS Zelda which plays in the same Hyrule from Zelda 3: A Link To The Past many years before.

In the game there are enemies from the classic Zelda game and there is also Ravio..a new guy, but also basically a cameo of the “Rabbit Form” of Link when he enters the Dark World for the first time in Zelda ALTTP.

Ravio plays an important role in A Link Between Worlds since he can sell Link items he needs to conquer the Dungeons in any order.

He is from Lorule and served Princess Hilda before they decided to take the Hyrulean Triforce. While he did not confront them by himself, he searched for a worthy hero in Hyrule and found…Link!

Ravio was originally not planned to be a part of Link’s Friendlist. We started the project back in October 2013 when the game was not yet released and Ravio was not known yet. In December, Kurama-Chan, who also drew one of the Sheik illustrations for the Friendlist, asked if Ravio could be included.

And sure, why not add this fun new guy? 🙂

The image to the right was not a direct submission to Link’s Friendlist.

Just like the one about Groose from Skyward Sword, it was drawn and shared online during the development of our project and when I saw it, I thought it looked damn fine and should be included. Corvalian loved the idea and I have a feeling that we might see more from him on Game-Art-HQ in the future!

Thanks a lot to both of you!
