Greetings and salutations! You have found yourself once again at another Zelda Artist Exposition—the feature series where I exhibit a new artist for your viewing pleasure. In case you are new these writings, suggestions are always welcome. If you know of an artist you would like featured, please comment. And if you do not know of someone, comment anyway and show some support. Anyway, our feature for this week is the esteemed UNIesque.

Hello everyone! This is Zelda Artist Exposition, an editorial series where I feature exceptional artists. In case you have not read these before, although I have done many of them, suggestions for artists are always welcome. The only criteria is that they need to have at least three Zelda-related pieces, and you need to think they are a fantastic artist. The goal of these posts is to spread the joy of art wherever possible and to expose artists to a…

Soon to be a father during the development of The Wind Waker back in 2003, Zelda developer and producer Eiji Aonuma decided to instill a bit of a fatherly figure that would in a sense, look out for his son when he would play it in the future. Of course who other than the King of Red Lions would fit this role? Among all other Zelda titles Aonuma worked with, the Wind Waker is particularly special to him with all…

One of the interesting aspects about gaming is hearing about how the games are personally significant to the developers due to emotional ties or connections they have with them. One such example, as revealed in a recent interview is WIRED, is that The Wind Waker is particularly special to series developer Eiji Aonuma as it was developed just as his son was being born, which can be subtly seen through the dialogue of one character in the game. Hit the…

Just imagine: As you finally conclude harsh trials necessary to prove yourself hero enough — several steps above “man enough” — to acquire the means to defeat the ancient evil that took your sister, your talking boat and teacher whisks you beneath the waves to- Oh, wait, you’ve played The Wind Waker? Ah. No imagining necessary then. Who didn’t have their mind blown pretty severely by this part of The Wind Waker? The journey down into Hyrule was both extremely…

Zelda Dungeon has been at E3 for the past three days and has managed to get up close and personal with the biggest names who work on the Zelda series. Also gaining the opportunity to meet series’ producer Eiji Aonuma, ZD managed to catch a rare glimpse of Mr. Aonuma actually pretending to impersonate Link by  “sailing” on the King of Red Lions at the E3 showfloor. It’s quite a sight to behold as Mr. Aonuma jumps aboard the majestic…

Welcome to another edition of Zelda Fanart Spotlight. Today we are looking at Treasure Hunting by Swedish artist Axel, an inspiring digital painting depicting the Hero of Winds and the King of Red Lions from The Wind Waker fishing for treasure. While the composition is simple, the artist does such an amazing job rendering the calm ocean waves that it looks like it came straight from the game. Axel creates a real sense of unity with the excellent color choices;…

Good afternoon my Zelda Dungeon friends, and welcome to another Monday and another Flute Boy’s Meadow! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving week/break, for those of you who celebrate it. For this week’s feature, I’ve opted for something people requested in the comments last week: a look at the themes for each of the companions throughout the series. Now first, I want to clarify who Link’s companions are. The term refers specifically to the guide characters that tend to…

AriaBlarg is a well-known painter who uploads videos of herself speed painting beautiful and vivid masterpieces from certain video games, and just recently she has chosen to put together an awesome still shot from The Wind Waker. The painting is composed of Link sailing on the King of Red Lions and the painting is so well done that Link looks like he could just jump out of the artwork at any time. The great use of color and shading also…

Ninjatoes has created a template for a life-sized model of the King of Red Lions and Josh Darrah has taken on a daunting and difficult task of constructing it using paper! It is very well made and it’s one of the best papercrafts I’ve seen. I can’t even imagine the time it must have taken to build this piece, or how much paper it must have used up. You can even attempt to build it yourself if you’re feeling adventurous….
