The Legend of Zelda Message Board older than one year ago

Console artist Zoki64 once made the prettiest Nintendo 64 (and GBA!) I've ever seen. He's back today, with one of the prettiest Super Nintendo's you'll ever see.Read more...

Reader Adam had a smith craft him a replica Master Sword. It's so good I hope he goes and hides it in a temple somewhere.Read more...

Ah, young love. Check out this adorable mash-up by Nerdist of the ridiculously catchy 'Royals' by Lorde and Zelda—not only is the result charming, but it's also chock full of references to the Nintendo franchise.Read more...

Let's admire this painting of Link by James Zapata. Just...soak it up. It's the kind of treatment you normally see for the absolute classics of history and mythology. So it's also the kind of treatment Zelda deserves.Read more...

A tradition based on a great tragedy that only seems to breed more tragedy? Awkward Spaceship has a point — maybe Hyrule needs to revisit its princess naming policy before everything explodes. Read more...

Call him Toon Link, Young Link, it doesn't matter; Link is one badass swordsman in any shape or form. This new batch of screenshots for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS shows off what his Wind Waker iteration will look like in action.Read more...

There are impressive Animal Crossing towns, and then there's this: an incredible recreation of Koholint from the Game Boy game The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, presented as if it's a dream world of its own.Read more...

The Legend of Zelda's abysmal CD-i adaptation from 20 years ago—Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon—were KGB'd out of Hyrule Historia, the series' canonical volume. MTV Multiplayer asked series director Eiji Aonuma why, and got a rare comment from Nintendo about one of the worst games of all time.Read more...

Some people play Skyrim for the big open world, or the variety of interesting quests. The guy who makes Zelda, though? He plays Skyrim because it starts with the same three letters as Skyward Sword. Read more...

The graphics of early 3D games such as Donkey Kong 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time on the Nintendo 64 are just perfect for silly, glitchy corruptions that have become an artform lately, thanks to the one and only Vinesauce Vidya on YouTube (who we've featured a few times before).Read more...

The Wii U grows exponentially more interesting, with the addition of outstanding modern platformer Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams and classic role-playing game Breath of Fire II in today's Nintendo Download. What other wonders lurk in this week's selection of digital downloads? Behold!Read more...

It's a rather interesting choice to do a mashup of the art style from Kentucky Route Zero and Link, camping in the Lost Woods from the first Legend of Zelda. But digital artist Denzel Sterling was able to do it in a really charming way.Read more...

At PAX Prime today, the line to see Wind Waker was way longer than I thought it'd be. People do love them some hot Wind Waker action!Read more...

It's Pokémon Rumble U day in the Nintendo Download. They might not be the Pokémon you've been waiting for, but they'll do in a pinch. Don't forget to hit up GameStop for the near-field communication toys. And hey, is that the entire Bit.Trip Saga on 3DS for $5? SOLD! And that's pretty much it for this week's Nintendo Download, unless you count The Legend of Zelda for the Wii U. Read more...

Speedrunner Cosmo Wright is on a roll—last week, he was able to nab the world record for fastest Ocarina of Time run, beating it in nineteen minutes and fifteen seconds. Today he's back with another record: the fastest Wind Waker playthrough as of this writing.Read more...

Link might need another one of those bombs to defeat this Dodongo, a classic enemy from The Legend of Zelda games. It's hard to tell who's scarier in digital artist Jason Custer's poster: Link with his bomb or the funky-looking reptilian.Read more...

Last month, we took a look at some of the earliest Zelda art available, some production and marketing pieces done by Katsuya Terada for A Link to the Past. Today, we're looking at something similar, albeit a little rougher.Read more...

Reader Brady Goldsmith drew this rather grisly take on The Legend of Zelda. He writes: "This is my attempt at a realistic approach to Link—bloody, raw, gritty." See more of his art at his Deviant Art page.Read more...

In 1990, children across the U.S. flocked to Nintendo Powerfest events to show their appreciation for the company and its products. Nintendo repaid them by making them dance to the Nintendo Fruit Snacks "rap." Those with sensitive stomachs may want to look away. Read more...

This morning, we got a closer look at the world in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. What most people didn't notice, however, was that there was a significant change in Link's character design, concept art wise—according to Tiny Cartridge, Link seems to have gotten goofier between now and the last time we saw him.Read more...

Legendary comic book creator Stan Lee is the master of film cameos, and no stranger to video game appearances either, but it's not enough. He needs to be in every video game, from Duck Hunt to The Legend of Zelda. Read more...

All you need to do to make someone seem less fierce is to catch them prancing around without a care in the world, like in this art by Mr. Florey.Read more...

Today's glitched-out delight from Vinesauce isn't a nightmare, like it tends to be. Having Sonic star in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time instead of Link—and making sure the character model goes fast—is more of an absurd hilarity.Read more...

Then he'd probably look a bit like these renditions by TanBurn. The two above are, of course, Link in the style of South Park and Link in the style of The Simpsons.Read more...

Here's a neat project by disbala, who is retexturing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to look like Skyward Sword—the newer Zelda game in the franchise, which features visuals which aren't as realistic.Read more...

Snapped at PAX Australia last weekend. I wonder if it would be any less annoying if it was J.A.R.V.I.S. banging on at you to "please listen".Read more...
