There was this time some years ago when I still thought I could draw, and Zelda-related stuff was pretty much the only thing I ever got on paper. The art style still affects stongly on anything I bother to doodle now. I only draw pointy ears on people, partly because they're easier than normal round ones, and they always end up looking better anyway.

I used to practise some Zelda tunes on the piano, and also made a short "song" at one point, kind of like the ocarina songs in OoT. That was when I still thought I could play the piano.

Cosplaying counts as creative. I cosplay. My Zelda-costumes have been Vaati about two years ago, and Ordon Link last summer. Link was the most fun ever, the clothes were awesome.

Yeah, Zelda is inspiring, very much so. Hard to say how much it affects whatever I draw, write, or design, but it's in the background, I'm sure.
