The original is more like a skull face that just saw something traumatizing and the remake is more like an angry old man that’s about to sneeze on you with his big honking schnozz

I made justice for the Bombchu Girl 💣❤️ from* Ocarina of Time*; an NPC who barely gets any screen time, yet somehow became a childhood crush for an entire generation of players.

I wanted to do something a little different from a regular character illustration, so I turned her into the cover star of HYRULE BOY, a fictional 90s-style magazine full of Hyrule gossip, scandals, questionable advice and kingdom secrets.

Featuring The Original Hylian Crush, The Gerudo Guide to Getting What You Want, Hotter Than Death Mountain and, of course, Sorry Zelda, We Need to Talk.
I met her in Majora’s Mask and I truly spent some time in her place…

Did you have a childhood crush on her, too? Wich other Zelda character deserves their own magazine cover? think out of the box! I’m thinking on continue creating covers for Nabooru, Midna… idk.

I’m imagining Sheik as an independent male character who isn’t Zelda in disguise, maybe just a Sheikah agent?

Darkiron is a mix of Iron Knuckle and Darknuts, maybe could come up with a better name 🤷‍♂️ I’ve always loved every variation of those enemies

A user in the previous post mentioned how it would be interesting to see the connection between Picori and Koroks/Kokiri explored, so I made a sketch of a few tiny forest characters gathered together

I’m also imagining that Link is married to Malon here. She would probably not be wearing the exact same outfit she did as a young adult but I wanted to keep her recognizable

More to come! Let me know if you have other interesting ideas or anything you’ve wanted to see explored more in Zelda

Just checked my tracking information and my Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 is arriving today instead of tomorrow. 😌

Ill show yall when ill be done painting the whole figure ! Its my first time figure painting( i just realized that her head on this stick feels very disturbing 😅)

A short animation inspired by the redesign of adult Link and the recent trailers

(This is all in my opinion and experience, of course)

Whenever I get burnt out of gaming, the older 3D Zelda titles scratch an itch that no other games really do. The linear nature of them means that the more you play them, the more you remember how to play them, and subsequent playthroughs almost start feeling like youre watching a playable movie (or playing a watchable video game?). You can just turn your brain off and flow through the game like water, knowing where the keys are, where the chests are, where you need to go next, what enemies are where, etc. These actions become automatic in a sense, and for me, it's incredibly meditative.

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword all have this effect on me- but I constantly find myself replaying OoT in particular multiple times a year, and its been this way my whole life. I haven't always had a 3DS either so I've mostly gravitated toward the N64 version, and since that version came out on NSO, that's been my go-to.

Now here we are in 2026, 28 years after the original's release, and as the release date approaches its dawned on me that while I'm definitely still going to replay the original 1998 game, this new 2026 remake is what I'm likely going to be playing and replaying over and over again for the next few decades of my life every time I feel burnt out.

Not sure if anyone else feels the same way, but its as if I'm getting pre-nostalgia for the fact that this game is going to have such a prominent role in my recreational life for quite a long time, and for all I know, I may not even live to see the next remake two or three decades down the line. I intend to be around in two or three decades, but life's weird like that. Sometimes you don't get to choose when you exit this game.

It's a strange feeling, as if I'm self-aware of being present in the past of a future I can see in my mind's eye so clearly. Nine days away until I get to meet the new sanctuary of my escapism, soon to be eight days away as the planetary cycle spins anew.

TLDR: Despite being over a week away from its release, I'm already nostalgic for the fact that I'm going to be replaying the 2026 remake for many, many years.

Hey...not bad for not having carved a pumpkin since 1993!

For all my impatient brothers and sisters who ordered from Nintendo directly, it looks like the systems were shipped in bulk without getting scanned until arriving locally leading to the "label created" crisis. I moved all the way from WA to Florida this year so I thought I'd be waiting a week or more. Lfg

Also how am I just now noticing YEARS later that the BotW/TotK heart container is basically the exact same as the Skyward Sword one?? Totally blew my mind when looking up the images to make this edit

Hi i just started playing breath of the wild 5 days ago. It is my first zelda game. I just got done with my first boss in the desert area. I just wanna express both my frustration and satisfaction. I thought zelda is just about puzzles adventures and hack and slash type of game but man this thunderblight ganon made me fume. It took me around 30 tries to beat it. I never payed too much attention into parrying and dodging because it wasnt needed for the fights i had but i literally had to perfect both just to beat it because it only takes one attack to kill me. It was so frustrating the way you cant even block his third phase, it took all of my reaction time just to flurry rush it and even that took 4 tries. Now I don't know if i should be excited for the other 3 and the last boss or just lose hope atp. I hope the other 3 won't take this long smh. I really love this game and I think it's beautiful. I just never came across a boss this annoying.

This is the last boss right?

​I made this diorama featuring the Great Deku Tree and the Master Sword in its pedestal. It is entirely handmade using wooden sticks, acrylic paint, and Das clay. Hope you like it!

This is my own design in green tourmaline.

Since the stone had so many fissures it ended up looking cloudy and opaque, so sadly you can't see through much and the Kokiri spiral I tried engraving on top of it isn't showing well enough on camera.

Still, I hope you like it! I think it has a pretty nice green colour which really reminds me of forest green.

I put my pre-order in on day 1 when it released and swear it said it would be arriving on launch day but I changed my payment method to a different card today just cause I wanted to use that card instead and noticed it says it's now delivering November 9th. Did this happen to anyone else?? I pre-ordered early to get the foil, what are the chances that I'll still get the foil if I cancel and pre-order again to fix the delivery date?
