“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…

Hyrule Warriors has added quite a variety of characters to the Zelda universe, including Linkle, the lady hero of legend. She is said to be a female version of Link, but still existing in the same universe as the male Link we all know and love, so seeing fanart such as raposavyk’s “Linkle and Link”…
If you asked a thousand Zelda fans which of the many franchise installments was their favourite, I’d bet you’d hear the answer “Oracle of Ages/Seasons” less than five times.

When I first saw the design for Link in Hyrule Warriors, all I had to say was “fantastic”. He looked amazing, just like he does in this Hyrule Warriors fanart by Ferisae. First and foremost, Link looks amazing. His hair, his hands, his expression; everything about the character himself looks great. Then there’s the style…
Picture this. You’re Link and you’re in that room in the water temple. You see Dark Link, and, like every enemy you’ve come across, you attack by smashing the B button. Except, to your surprise, you hit nothing but air as Dark Link somersaults himself away from your every blow. What seemingly started off as a…
When Tri Force Heroes first came out, a lot of us questioned: “What ever happened to Purple Link?” There are supposed to be four Link’s, right? Alas, he never made his way into the game, and we can only speculate where Purple may have wandered. I suppose he went off to a distant land on…
This week’s Fanart Friday is one that I hold very close to my Heart Containers, so much so that I actually have a print of this very piece hanging in my lounge. “Link to the Past Final HD” by DeviantArt’s Billysan291 is a delicious rendering of Link squaring up against Ganon, showcasing the final boss battle…

Prince Altea versus the Legendary Hero, Falchion against the Master Sword, who will win this ultimate face-off? “Sudden Death” by CharlieRomeo on DeviantArt is an art piece of two of Nintendo’s greatest swordsmen locked in combat. Along with the Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem has been a favorite game franchise of mine ever since I was young.…
For a gamer, nothing quite stokes the fires of excitement like the arrival of E3, and unless you’ve been living under a sizable rock since the show, you’ll know that Nintendo took the decision to focus almost entirely on the upcoming Zelda title for the Wii U and NX, finally unveiled as ‘Breath of the…
