Zelda Oil Paintings
Posted on June 14 2015 by Alasyn Eletha
It takes some talent to paint something Zelda related and make it look as if it could actually be a screenshot from one of the games. That’s basically what reddit user benthunderbolt did with a few of his oil paintings that he shared with fellow Zelda fans over on Imgur. This one here is of the opening screen from Ocarina of Time. It’s so well done, and so identical to the real deal, I can almost see Link and Epona trotting over Hyrule field as if I were about to start playing!
Make the jump to see the other two that benthunderbolt shared!
Even here, I feel like I just turned on my GameCube and started playing The Wind Waker. It’s so simple and beautifully done, I can just use my imagination and see Link swaying and waves tumbling in the ocean.
I can’t decide if this one on the left or the painting for Ocarina of Time is my favorite. For Majora’s Mask, though, this is pretty spot on. I always thought there was a lot going on with Majora’s Mask. So many different colors and shapes coming together to create something sinister-looking. And benthunderbolt does a beautiful job capturing that in this painting.
What do you guys think of these paintings? Which one is your favorite? If benthunderbolt were to paint something else, what would you like to see next? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below!
