Welcome to another edition of the Fanart Spotlight! Today we are going to take a look at a wonderful pocket-sized piece of art from DeviantART member RoteGruetze titled ACEO The Legend of Zelda- Link. It features young and adult Link from Ocarina of Time, along with the Master Sword set symbolically between the two. The artist does a great job of showing the contrast between the young, naive looking Link and his older self who is much more visibly worn…

Welcome to another Zelda Fanart Spotlight!  Today we will be looking at an ambitious piece of art from Puerto Rican artist Luis Carrasquillo. Zelda Anthology is a tribute piece filled to the brim with characters from all entries in the series. The artist describes the style used in this piece as a combination of the Wind Waker’s bright cel-shaded look with the official art of Ocarina of Time. If anything, credit must be given to Luis for the sheer amount of time it…

For today’s Fanart Spotlight, we are going to take a look at a picture inspired by The Wind Waker called “Kill the Plant” by Finnish artist Merrycka. It features Link facing the Forest Haven final boss Kalle Demos. Although this piece retains The Wind Waker’s distinct cel-shading look, it has a style of its own. The color choices help create dramatic lighting. The pitch dark background makes the neon bright colors on the plant-based boss pop, the faint light radiating…

Welcome to another edition of the Zelda Fanart Spotlight. This week we are looking at a digital painting called The Legend of Zelda:: Back from the Journey by artist Kissai. In this piece, an older Link is sitting comfortably with his owl friend, relaxing after what was certain to be a difficult journey. Cluttering the floor around him is a bunch of different items from every game in the series. How many different items can you spot? This one you’ll…

Today’s Fanart Spotlight is a beautiful statue by artist Ingtron. Based on the digital piece “The Wind Waker: Forbidden Woods” by the very talented fellow fanart artist Purrdemonium who is known for their cel-shading and The Wind Waker style emulation. Ingtron does a masterful job of bringing their Hero of Winds fanart to life. The artist first sculpted the work in a basic gray clay in the work in progress image that you can see right after the jump.

Welcome to another edition of the Zelda Fanart Spotlight, featuring artist Malfey and her most recent work named Quite Terrible Indeed. While oddly enough one of the first thing the artist admits to is the fact that she has never played Majora’s Mask herself. Still, she does a good job of giving form to the dark, twisted atmosphere the game is known for. Along with the heavy shadows inspired by the games official art, Malfey perfectly captures both the Happy…

Hello and welcome to another Fanart Spotlight. Today we are looking at an illustration by artist Joel Sousa called Helmaroc King is Going Down! The drawing features a scene from The Wind Waker featuring one of the most memorable characters from the game- The Helmaroc King is introduced to the player within the first hour of gameplay, when the bird kidnaps Link’s young sister Aryll. At the time, there is nothing the poor future Hero of Winds can do but…

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Zelda Fanart Spotlight, where we take a look at some of the latest and greatest fan work the community has to offer. Today we are looking at Forest Ancients, a digital illustration by Daniel Watkins. This piece features a stylized Deku Tree with a composition that is similar to a piece of official art from Ocarina of time. However, the atmosphere is interpreted very differently by the artist. The picture takes place…

Welcome to another edition of Zelda Fanart Spotlight. Today we are looking at a digital illustration from brazilian artist KlausBoss. Poe Collector features a very striking moment in Ocarina of Time when you enter what use to be the Guard House. During those seven years the Hero of Time was sealed away, it had been refurbished into the Ghost Shop. With no guards in sight, a strange fellow whose face you cannot see now occupies the building. While he might…

It features a touching portrait of Malon and Epona called Bring him back safely. The title helps tell the story of the painting, as Malon does what she can to help the Hero of Time on his journey and prepares Epona for the next time Link calls on her.
