Continuing a sillier theme begun last week by Team Groose, we are now featuring a creative piece by Deviantart user Tchukart. The art is pretty self-explanatory. Link’s days of assaulting cuccos have finally caught up with him! Anywhere he goes he will now be a wanted man due to cucco abuse. I dare say that…
There’s the Boomerang, Ocarina of Time, Hookshot, and Bow, but what if Link had an iPhone? This is the question asked by the blog “Texts From Zelda”, which provides text conversation between Link and various characters from Ocarina of Time. These witty conversations are sure to humor any Zelda fan. Read the conversations after the…
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…
Last year, we witnessed the release of Figma’s impressive Skyward Sword Link figurine. Good news for all of you who missed pre-orders or held off on paying the absurd eBay prices–Figma Link is now headed to the US! Online retailers Big Bad Toy Store and Anime Island have listed both the Skyward Sword Link figure and a Metroid Samus figure to release in…
Thanks to portable games, clothing, manga and toys, you can take the Zelda series almost anywhere you want in some form. But there’s one place you can’t yet enjoy the series: in the tub. At least, not without putting your 3DS in danger of a watery grave. Enter these rubber duck adaptations of Midna and Wolf…
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…
While the Zelda franchise had no presence at this year’s PAX East 2013 expo in terms of games and announcements, the spirit was still very much kept alive by some awesome fans and their cosplay outfits. Thanks to our friends over at Zelda Dungeon who took a ton of photos at the event, you can…
Some of Hyrule’s mysteries are veritable founts of secret knowledge, partial truths, and manifold quotes that, while they don’t entirely spell out Nintendo’s hidden secrets, at least point in the general direction of the creators’ thought processes. Others are much more subtle and vaguely mentioned, and such conjectures require deep dives into context and some…
“Cute” is not normally a word that is associated with any of the characters from the CD-i Zelda games. In today’s piece of fan art, Flitter-Flutter has managed to depict Link and the two versions of Zelda in just that way. Instead of the obnoxiously annoying heroes we’re used to, the trio seen here look…
Many readers on ZU are undoubtedly attached to the Link figma that released last year. Today that figurine went from being a great collector’s item to “pretty cool, I guess” in my mind, because Medicom Toy have crafted a Link figurine so amazing that it makes all others obsolete! This Skyward Sword Link is the latest…
Zelda is a series full of complex design choices. With it’s devious dungeon designs, deep story elements and high quality composed music, there are many variants that fans have high expectations for. Yet, according to creator Shigeru Miyamoto, one of the biggest struggles that comes from starting development on a new Zelda game is Link’s…
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…
Saber Blast is a newly founded company that aims to “amplify your online marketing” and raise awareness for other companies in order to bring in new customers. More interestingly, however, they also appear to have stolen a particular Nintendo character as their own mascot. The pixellated hero on their home page looks almost identical to…

We’ve seen Link reproduced in countless different art styles, but Jed Henry, a web artist who is a big fan of video games, is the first to venture into the ukiyo-e woodblock print art style for Link.
