Description To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Legend of Zelda, I've created this image parody of the 25th Anniversary of Zelda. Why would you name a franchise when the hero is not named "Zelda?" (lol). This image is part of a show at Hero Complex Gallery to celebrate Zelda's 30th Anniversary. Open to the public until March 13th. You can see more great works for the 30th Anniversary at: hcgart.com

Oh, this is amazing. I love that you even added the nowadays very obscure original "Princess Peachy" Zelda. The only one I'm missing is the one from the cartoon series. Despite what people think of it, I really liked that design

Is it just me, or the NES Zelda sticks out like out of the rest? I still like the pic.

DaveSong In reply to Legoranger [2016-09-02 00:59:13 +0000 UTC]

Since Link to the Past, Zelda's characteristics and design are similiar. Prior SNES, her design was quite radical to her later designs and perhaps that's why she sticks out the rest. Cheers!

LTTP Zelda fit well with environment, NES Zelda feels like a character is wearing a TOS uniform in the JJverse.

Super-Jestar [2016-07-14 19:49:05 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic work! I like how you placed each Zelda in the same spot as their respective Link (as best as you could at least). I also like the little details mixed in like the Triforce of Wisdom on the back of OoT Zelda's hand and how MC Zelda is wearing the Mage's Cap. Very nice!

Fan art groups, digital art groups, illustration groups (just saw that you've got it in a couple Nintendo and Zelda themed ones) - for this incredible amount of work and final outcome I hope its views proliferate

Fantastic! I think Nintendo should have made an official image like this for Zelda's 30th, but seeing as how you've done it already, they should ask you if they could use for official promo artwork.

Probably not.

DaveSong In reply to Maklods [2016-03-12 19:21:09 +0000 UTC]

Not many version of him compared to Link or Zelda. Maybe a 30th Anniversary Boss poster?

Maklods In reply to DaveSong [2016-03-17 14:52:48 +0000 UTC]

I guess so, but at least he has a lot of minions which would make a great anniversary picture.
Sorta like these images with Bowser and his minions.
