At the beginning of the month we learned that the impressive Figma Link figurine would be coming to the United States later this year. Various online retailers were offering these action figures, and now a major American video game retail chain will have these available for purchase. GameStop will be selling Figma Link for $49.99.…
This is for all you ladies out there. Today we are featuring the unlikely duo, Link and Groose, drawn by Deviantart user lyiol. While this picture is somewhat awesomely goofy, it does immediately remind you of Link and Groose’s teamwork to stop The Imprisoned. In my very humble opinion, Groose’s character change in Skyward Sword…
Music is a universal language of diverse rhythms, jumps in dynamics, and everlasting melodies that evoke hidden emotions. A favorite tune can immediately improve a bad day. For me, troublesome times dissolve the moment I immerse myself in the sounds of The Legend of Zelda, which surprises my friends; they just don’t think of video…
Welcome back to Fanart Friday! Today we have a simple, yet heartwarming piece by deviantart user nuv. For those of us who have completed Skyward Sword, it no doubt reminds us of one of the ending cut scenes. While there are not a bunch of things to notice about this picture, I did lock onto…

We are back with more spectacular art from Zelda fans! Deviantart user Jimbo02Salgado has created this very unique piece. I won’t pretend to understand it completely, but I will say that this piece is kind of creepy in a way. The way Zelda is portrayed contrasts the sunny, happy Zelda from Skyward Sword that most…
With Friday comes fan art! Today we have a more unconventional take on two of the franchise’s main characters, with deviantart user Pertheseus giving Zelda and Link an eastern theme. Specifically, the clothing and weaponry are typical of ancient Japan, kind of appropriate when you consider where The Legend of Zelda was created. It got…

The CD-i Zelda month celebrations continue with another artistic portrayal of classic, cheesy Zelda cut scenes. Mixing his love for Etch-A-Sketching and CD-i Zelda games, one of ZU’s very own has combined two of the most tedious works of art to create a more aesthetic form. Rather than watching a boring, two hour video of…

But at last, this incredible project known as the Twilight Symphony has been released. Before you start asking where you…
The sprite above is easily recognizable to any Zelda fan who has played through the first dungeon of The Minish Cap; however, the enemy on the left comes from a different video game universe. Believe it or not, these two adversaries share something in common other than looks. Both spore spraying enemies are known as Puffstools,…
