Happy Friday the 13th everyone! Today is the first Friday the 13th in 2017, so I thought writing about some creepy Legend of Zelda fanart would be the best way to commemorate the day. This piece was created by Finni Chang, also known as finni on DeviantArt. She has created beautiful Legend of Zelda artwork in the past,…
Any Zelda player knows the feeling of finally finding a fairy after a difficult trial, and Saltycatfish put all those feelings of relief and calmness into this piece of art. Everything about this drawing is so serene. The light, sketchy line work doesn’t feel so intense and allows the drawing to breathe. The dim lighting…
Isn’t the Zelda universe a fantastic place? I mean, we spend hours wandering through a realm surrounded with a great sense of foreboding and danger; we listen to the woes of the residents and battle the giant and terrifying monsters that terrorise them in a bid to bring them safety, and we act out ancient…
If you couldn’t tell, it’s the holiday season and from everyone at Zelda Universe we wish you a festive season! There’s only two days left until the big day and DeviantArt user aquanut imagines what life is like in Wind Waker‘s Hyrule during this time of year. As everyone knows, this time of the year…
Princess Zelda has had many different incarnations and appearances throughout the Legend of Zelda series, and one particular design of hers that I often find overlooked is that of Four Swords Adventures. It is rather unfortunate seeing as it is quite a delightful look for the Princess (at least in my eyes), which is why…
As a child of the 80s, I was raised on such epic fantasy movies as Krull, The NeverEnding Story, Legend, and Clash of the Titans — if it had a magnificently over the top premise and questionable acting, you can guarantee I had not only watched it, but loved it unconditionally. There’s something wonderfully innocent…
When I stumbled upon this fantastic piece on Deviantart, my jaw literally dropped. I’m in love with the mythos of Japan, portrayals of samurai and of course, The Legend of Zelda, so this represents a perfect storm for me. Take a bow, Pertheseus — ‘The Myth of Zelda – Link-Zelda’ is magnificent. Somewhere, in alternate…
For this weeks Fanart Friday, I have chosen Nicole Gustafsson’s (Nimasprout) 2010 entry for the Desert Bus 4 Hope charity fundraiser for Child’s Play. Titled “Treasure!” the fanart depicts Link and the King of Red Lions hauling treasure inside a bottle. There’s something very surreal about the painting and gives me the impression that Link…
Five years ago today, Skyward Sword was released on the Wii system for all Zelda fans to enjoy. My love for Skyward Sword has always been intense, and seeing this fanart earlier this week put a huge smile on my face, so I knew I had to write about it. This artwork was created by Edalie-chan, an…
Recently, I have purchased Animal Crossing: New Leaf and I must say I am loving it, and by loving it I mean it’s stolen my soul. With the upcoming news from Nintendo Direct, information about Zelda themes and characters making an appearance has made its way around the internet, and hearing this I could not…
We’re rounding off our Halloweek with this incredibly fitting photo from Deviantart user, johwee, who has carved this beauty of a pumpkin to celebrate both Halloween and the upcoming release of Breath of the Wild! Officially titled, ‘Wake Up, Link – Sheikah Slate Pumpkin’, I have to admit that I’m absolutely in love with this.…
Welcome to this week’s Fanart Friday. Today I have chosen “The Little Hylian” by Flickr User Daniel Bressette. This picture reminded me of how Majora’s Mask was such a weird and fantastically original game that felt like a Studio Ghibli film. Like Chihiro in Spirited Away, Link finds himself in a magical new land and…
Happy Friday, everyone! Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend Another Anime Convention — AAC for short — located in Manchester, New Hampshire. It was amazing to be able to attend panels, make new friends, and spend a ridiculous amount of time walking around The Dealer’s Room. The Dealer’s Room is probably one of…
“Awaiting His Return” by Art-Zealot is a beautiful piece of fan art for Skyward Sword. Fi watches over Link as he enters the silent realm, patiently waiting for him to come back from his spiritual trial. Though the art itself is gorgeous, what I love even more is the story behind it. Art-Zealot states in…
I am an unashamed fanboy of Link Between Worlds. It’s a game that took an absolute classic and brought it into the twenty-first century of gaming; adding some modern dynamics, visuals and sound to an already impeccable title. For a man cynical of remakes, I took a great deal of pleasure roaming around the retooled…
