Animator Alex allowed the Wind Mage Vaati to take centre stage in his recent animated GIF on his Alex Draws Tumblr. The Minish sorcerer…
One of the features of CD-i month will be cosplay on Tuesdays. For some strange reason, the CD-i Zelda characters aren’t as popular to cosplay as their mainstream counterparts so I decided to seek out all of the CD-i Zelda cosplay that I could find. I was expecting to find a few kings and maybe…
The worlds of Hyrule and Kanto collide in Finni Chang’s beautiful artwork for a Zelda/Pokemon crossover. The three staples of the Triforce, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf, are joined by their own teams of the elemental critters. Presumably, Link’s companions Ponyta and Noctowl take the roles of Epona and the talkative owl Kaepora Gaebora respectively. Zelda’s Pokemon are majestic…

Deviantart user Vihola created these stunning voxel renders based on The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. If you’re unfamiliar with voxel art, it’s basically where 2D pixels are turned into 3D blocks. Think the NES Zeldas, but Minecraft-style. Vihola used a program called Qubicle Constructor, added his own lighting and rendering…
