Skeleton, I don't know how serious you want to be about art, but I'm going to unload a few pointers either way:
First, I would say that, while you're drawing quality isn't terrible, it it is far from excellent. I would suggest doing studies from real life figures. There's nothing wrong with a cartoony style, but looking at you're comic it's clear you are inexperienced, mostly because Link looks really stiff. If you're just doing this to goof off and you think it might be a project you drop in a few months time, then I would worry about it too much. But if you really want to learn to draw, then learn to draw people and objects first, than cartoons.
Second, Your text isn't terrible, but it is a bit small and hard to read. Maybe increase the character spacing on it if possible and switch to an off-white color.
Also, you should probably put in backgrounds of some sort. Even if this is a sort-lived project (not to imply that it is), just making the background a different color might improve things a bit. Here, for instance, the absolute minimum might be to make a dark red background, because then Link would stand out because red makes green pop and vise versa. Learn some color complements and apply them to make the comic more visually appealing. But don't just throw random colors around either because that would look terrible.
On the other hand, while the writing isn't fantastic it is actually pretty decent for an amateur work. It isn't very wordy and it's pretty quick and to the point. It is somewhat generic but that mostly has to do with it being gamer humor and sorta comes with the trade to a degree. It could have much more pizzazz but a lot of that has to do with taking advantage of the medium, which I don't know too much about, and drawing ability, which I already talked about.
tldr: not bad but could be better.
Thanks for the pointers.
