Old Zelda Art

[Bacon McShig]

God I wish the Zeldas today looked like that in motion. Also that the current character designer would die in a fire.

What?



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.

[Son of Bryce]

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.

I think it should stay in the 80s

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.
