Today’s Fanart Friday is a beautiful depiction of Link as he and Midna enter Snowpeak Ruins for the first time in Twilight Princess. Garbed in an nontraditional coat, Link travels with his companion to seek out the next fragment of the Mirror of Twilight. Wonderfully drawn by Mitsuyuki32 of DeviantArt, this piece of artwork depicts the loneliness…
Now that Nintendo has announced that Twilight Princess character Agitha, the Princess of Bugs, is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, I thought it would be only fitting to feature the young royal in this week’s Fanart Friday. I love the colors in this picture of Agitha by DeviantArt user, Xenonia. The self-proclaimed princess looks so…
They say that light cannot exist without darkness, and that fact cannot be expressed any more explicitly than in this stunning piece of artwork by yakiteri on DeviantArt. The attention to detail in the art is astounding, and the contrast between the two princesses is what caught my eye instantly. Zelda is so vibrant and full of life, while Hilda…
E3 is a magical time of year for all video game fans, but this year was uniquely special for Zelda fans; more Hyrule Warriors information was released, the game was playable on the show floor for the first time ever, and we even got our first glimpse of the brand new Zelda for the Wii…
Today is Friday, and that means it’s time for some incredible Zelda fan art! Today’s featured piece, “Zelda and Link”, was done by EshiraArt of DeviantArt. Although perhaps not intended, it seems to portray the scene in Ocarina of Time where Zelda sends Link seven years back in time, an emotional moment to say the least. This appears…
I think it would be cool to be a Zora. Swimming every day sounds like a pretty good life. Since it’s finally summer and I’m craving the ocean, I wanted to select some fanart that features the Zoras, my absolute favorite Zelda species. Dyru from DeviantArt drew this picture of Mikau from Majora’s Mask. Sitting beside a shipwreck,…
Since the reveal of Impa as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, it seems appropriate to feature some Impa fan art this week. VegaColors from DeviantArt created a beautiful portrait of Skyward Sword’s Impa. She’s such a strong character, not just physically but mentally. I love the wistful look in her eyes in this picture. When the world…
From ZU’s own insanely talented EternaLegend is this portrait of Princess Hilda from A Link Between Worlds. Hilda is arguably one of the most emotionally conflicted characters in the Zelda series. Her kingdom is falling apart, and she’s running out of options. EL did a beautiful job illustrating the princess’s inner turmoil. The desperation is apparent in Hilda’s eyes.…
Have you ever imagined our favorite princess crossing over into the Pokemon Universe? Deviantart user Lady-Zelda-of-Hyrule gives us an idea of how it might look. As the chosen guardian of the Triforce of Wisdom, it’s only fitting that she train the psychic Pokemon, Espeon. Plus, any royalty knows the importance of coordinating her accessories with her outfit, and Espeon’s lilac fur…
The Link in Skyward Sword may be lazy, reckless, and a bit of a sleepyhead, but when compared to the other Links in the Zelda series, he is one of the most determined and and may be the fiercest of them all. Charged with the task of rescuing Zelda, he dashes ahead without hesitation and…
Inspired by A Link Between Worlds, DeviantArt user CupOfKafei has created this beautiful depiction of Princess Hilda and her champion, Dark Link. Oddly enough, minus the eye color, this depiction of Dark Link can almost pass as a more mature version of Ravio. It appears that Ravio has a new rival for Princess Hilda’s affections! To…
DeviantArt user ZantChan brings us a bright and beautiful colored pencil drawing of Link and Zelda. The pair look so happy as they forget about all the troubles in Hyrule for a moment and simply enjoy being together on this sunny day in the forest. I love the intricate shading and vibrant colors. She’s added…
The Fused Shadows from Twilight Princess have always been a bit of a mystery. Midna, Link’s not-so-trusty sidekick for that game is always eager to grab the pieces away before he can even physically touch them. Why is that, you might ask? ZU’s own EternaLegend has come up with her own answer to that question, summed up…
We know how much the King of Hyrule loves his dinner and his wine! This depiction of the King of Hyrule from the CD-i Zelda games, mah boi, is beautifully illustrated by NecroBern, and attempts to show how the King would appear if he was in one of the proper Legend of Zelda titles.
One of the most interesting aspects of the CD-i Zelda games is its unique cast of characters. Deviantart user Breakfast put together a special piece of artwork portraying the cast of these classic Zelda titles! From something done from memory via Microsoft Paint, this is quite impressive! What do you think of this portrayal of…
