Dragon Link

A bestiary of East-Asian legends — in your pocket.

Dragon Link is an offline illustrated encyclopedia of the dragons, fox spirits, qilin, and naga that shaped East-Asian folklore. Forty hand-painted entries span China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia — from the celestial Long among storm clouds to the nine-tailed Kitsune at a torii gate, from the mountain Tengu to the multi-headed Naga of the Mekong.

Built for slow reading, not slot mechanics. No timers, no streaks, no shame — just lore.

What's inside

• 40 illustrated codex entries with native script, romanization, era, symbolism, and the festivals and texts each creature appears in
• 6 themed cultural-knowledge quizzes (180+ questions) — Chinese dragons, Japanese yokai, mythical beasts, origins & etymology, East vs West symbolism, festivals & traditions
• 20 unlockable hero artworks in the Dragon Hall — earned through reading and quizzing, including the four cardinal guardians (Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger)
• A Lunar Calendar tool that converts your Gregorian birthdate into a Chinese-zodiac reading (zodiac animal × element, 60 hand-authored readings) and surfaces upcoming dragon-relevant festivals (Lunar New Year, Lantern Festival, Lóngtáitóu, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn)
• A Daily Lore card on the home screen that rotates one creature per day from across the codex
• Optional gentle daily reminders — only if you ask for them

Reverent, never predictive

The Lunar Calendar reading is phrased as cultural information ("the zodiac tradition associates this sign with…"), not fortune-telling. The app describes folklore as subject matter — not as a guide for life decisions.

Fully offline. Forever yours.

• No accounts. No analytics. No tracking.

Whether you're a long-time student of East-Asian mythology or just curious about the difference between a Long and a Ryū, Dragon Link is a quiet, beautifully illustrated companion for the journey.
