Divine Beasts sculptures by GizmoForge

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Divine sculptures

Although the general consensus about Breath of the Wild’s Divine Beasts is that they were unsatisfying Zelda dungeons, no one can deny that their designs are awe-inspiring and leave lasting presences in the world of Hyrule. When I saw the incredible sculptures that GizmoForge makes and sells of the four Divine Beasts on their Etsy…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Impa cosplay

I’ve never been much for cosplay, but I cannot dismiss the talent put on display through these creative outfits. And sometimes, the skill catches me by surprise. That’s why I’m compelled to share this amazing depiction of Impa from Hyrule Warriors. Also, to ignore this cosplay would be to disregard Impa. And even if she’s…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Knock on Deku wood

Living around the mountains in a small tourist town, it isn’t out of the ordinary to see wood carvings of the various fauna to some degree. One can easily spot a bear spawned from the massive trunk of a once living-and-thriving tree or even small carvings dedicated to remnants of the Native American heritage that…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Waking from the dream

The hype that I have for the Link’s Awakening remake has been bottled up and it can no longer be contained. Every single screenshot, gameplay video, new feature, and everything else make me more and more excited. Link’s Awakening was, like for many I’d imagine, my first foray into the mostly wonderful world of handheld…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Goku vs. Link

How did someone take 90 percent of the life during the early 2000s and cram it into one image? I never thought I’d see art like this, let alone discuss art like this in an article, but here I am. Artist Autobiotic has made something truly special here: Link and Goku squaring off at the…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Prinny of the Wild

Anyone who knows me well enough knows that one of my favorite game series is Disgaea. Obviously, The Legend of Zelda is a close second, or an equivalent. It’s to the point, however, that my entire online existence has strongly correlated to Disgaea. “LaharlKun” was even one of the first usernames. Back in 2004, it…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Sand Ambush

Legend of Zelda games are known for their amazing and memorable boss fights, and The Wind Waker’s assortment of monsters certainly make the short list when it comes to best of the best. The bosses of Wind Waker are amazing spectacles that blend the game’s narrative, gameplay, and challenge into their intense encounters. While it is one…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Getting the red stone

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a game all about larger-than-life moments. Meeting the Great Deku Tree, stepping out into Hyrule Field for the first time, and climbing Death Mountain are great examples of this, but in many ways, they pale in comparison to the intensity of the game’s bosses and the battles…

finding the ocarina by dottie torres gimmeswords

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Time for a dive

In what looks like a page straight out of a children’s book, Dottie Torres (aka Gimmeswords) takes us underwater to see an absolutely iconic scene from Ocarina of Time — the moment when Link dove into Hyrule Castle’s moat to fish out the magical ocarina. It was then that his future instantly changed forever, literally.…

Cadence of Hyrule and Zelda fan art by stupjam

Yuga’s Art Gallery: A duet of Hyrule’s heroines

The Zelda series seems to be heading in a really refreshing direction in terms of its female protagonists. We got both Zelda and Cadence as playable characters in Cadence of Hyrule, and speculation is already wildly circulating about whether Zelda will be playable in the Breath of the Wild sequel. Regardless of whether she is…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: A peaceful moment together

The relationship between Link and Zelda always tends to be the same in most games. Link is from a small village while Zelda grows up in royalty. The two meet by some twist of fate, and Zelda gives Link his grand quest. Within this, it’s often difficult to really see any sort of relationship between…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Link and Spyro

My journey with The Legend of Zelda started in about 2006 when I played The Wind Waker for the very first time, but my interest in video games started long before then. My step sisters had a Playstation that they’d bring over on the weekends and they would let me play my first video game…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Wingieees

I suppose my article about Quill made it hard for me to avoid sharing this. “Wingieees” by artist jelloire is a fun, stylized portrait inspired by my favorite Rito postman, so my appreciation for it should be expected. As mentioned, it is a modest portrait of Quill and is a good representation of him. He’s…
