Do you enjoy using Legos as an outlet for the creative architect inside you? How about The Legend of Zelda? Well, I’m willing to bet you enjoy the latter, at least, since you are here at Zelda Universe. A program named Lego Ideas helps to make people’s ideas for Lego sets become reality; and it looks like…
Earlier this afternoon, much to my shock, I got an e-mail from Nintendo informing me about Women’s History Month. It wasn’t so shocking that they were commemorating the month (although I didn’t quite know it was Women’s History Month), but it was shocking that they were featuring The Wind Waker’s very own Tetra as one of the…
Hiding your true feelings from your crush is hard, but imagine having to conceal your identity too. After a while, the deception becomes too much. That’s what Zelda had to deal with in Ocarina of Time when she became Sheik. DeviantArt user Queen-Zelda illustrates the incognito princess’s inner turmoil in this picture, entitled “I’m Sorry for Everything”. Zelda, disguised as…
Chris Puziak celebrates the women of Nintendo with an ongoing series of artwork entitled “8-Bit Pin-Ups”. In this portrait of Zelda, Puziak uses a vibrant color scheme reminiscent of A Link Between Worlds. However, what truly impresses me about this picture is how well he shows off the princess’s beauty without being unnecessarily sexualized. Puziak has also completed…
Meg Hinklein thought her Zelda amiibo was a bit of a fixer upper, so with the help of paint and of course glitter, she transforms Princess Zelda into Queen Elsa from Walt Disney’s Frozen. We’ve seen a few customized amiibo before, but being the huge Disney fan I am, this one is my favorite. I never…
With Christmas less than a week away, it feels only fitting that this week’s Fanart Friday feature some Christmas goodness, along with a little Zelda/Link action sprinkled on top! Daniel-Link of Deviant Art manages to portray a charming yet cute version of what a ZeLink Christmas would look like in his piece “Merry Christmas 2012.” While Link has yet…
Ocarina of Time has one of the most emotional endings of any Zelda game. After Link fulfills his destiny as the Hero of Time and defeats Ganon, Zelda utilizes the power of the Ocarina of Time in order to send him back seven years in the past, restoring the time that he had previously lost. Link and…
In the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed that the Link Amiibo will unlock a special weapon in Hyrule Warriors: the Spinner. Now, Koei Tecmo has revealed that the Princess Zelda Amiibo will also unlock an additional weapon in the game, although what exactly the weapon is has not yet been disclosed. It seems that we will have to wait until the…
Halloween is a special time of year, filled with horror and fright. While the Zelda series has a family-friendly tone, it can also have its mature, scary moments. When I was a child playing A Link to the Past for the first time, I was terrorized by the wizard Agahnim to the point of having nightmares! Ganon from Ocarina…
Ocarina of Time is one of the most beloved games in the Zelda franchise, touching the hearts and minds of Nintendo fans all over the world for the past 17 years. In celebration of completing the game, DeviantArt user Amelie-ami-chan has created this beautiful portrait that depicts the game’s major characters: Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf. Drawn in an anime-type style,…

For this week’s iteration of Fanart Friday, I wanted to highlight one of my favorite characters in the Zelda series: Skyward Sword’s Zelda. She, like Link, travels on a difficult journey throughout the game, and the piece chosen this for this week’s Fanart Friday reflects the heavy burden on Zelda’s heart that this journey requires. Not a…
As someone who “mained” Princess Zelda in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I was very intrigued when it was announced that Sheik and Zelda would now be separate characters in the newest iterations of the Smash franchise. I thought it was a fantastic creative decision, because now it would free up a slot for an extra move and…

Regarding her latest Zelda costume, Kovacs states that the process “probably took almost every single technique I’ve learned in costume-making.” The video also details how she created the costume, piece by piece. Kovacs states…
With the return of Fanart Friday coinciding with the American release date of Hyrule Warriors, we’ve chosen to commemorate both events with this beautiful piece of artwork by Chel-chu. Zelda fans have been asking for a game with a playable Princess Zelda over the past few years, and now they have one, with Zelda kicking some…
