But let me guess, you like OoT, with it's hermaphroditic manfairies and repulsive naked Zora children?

Try not to post a horribly squished piece of art to illustrate your point that it doesn't suck by comparison to the old stuff, kthx.

Nice thread, MarsKitten. Those pics are awesome, I remember seeing 'em in Nintendo Power and the old manuals. Great art.

The coloring style reminds me of European comics.

I rest my case.

Oh wait, no I don't.

That creepy ass baby was actually my favorite character from Twilight princess. And Midna.

Thanks for this thread.

And to agree with Vasteel, Midna's awesome. One of my favorite characters in a Zelda game.

someone brought this stuff up to me recently. i remember trying to copy this artwork as a kid. i love the one of him throwing the heavy ball at the pillar. he looks like a pathetic weakling. the artist also did this bad ass monkey king comic in recent years.

I would play a Don Bluth animated Zelda game based on the old style. And I would love the shit out of it.

Fuck, Don Bluth does need to handle a Zelda project. I would like a DB Zelda movie way more than a live action one, when/if one ever for real happens.

Also, Agitha is easily the best character from TP. She loved bugs way too much.

Oh damn... what was the point of the guy all in black? I can't even say it was horrible advertising since the game was so successful.

only in the 80's.
