Zelda Wiki:Featured Picture Nomination

= Current nominations =

Scenery from Skyward Sword
Nintendo has described the graphical style of this game as "a painting coming to life", and who could argue? With its great quality and breathtaking view, this image deserves to be featured. 23:35, 22 August 2010


 * 1) I support it. It'sa really good image to add and I like the art style.  14:53, 5 September 2010 (EDT)
 * 2) Ooh... pretty. Nice, well-drawn image. I think it seems to do a nice job of representing what we've seen of Skyward Sword thus far. However, the image is somewhat bland, and seems to not have any actual focus. The reason I'm OK with that is because there are no other featured images of just scenery.  19:21, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I like how the picture is high quality. This deserves to be featured! --Zeldarules8 19:56, 28 December 2010 (EST)
 * 4) Yes. Yes.  Like Alter stated, we don't have a lot of pictures of just scenery.  It's very high quality, and reminds us of the joy of Skyward Sword we are to enjoy.  This deserves to be featured!  PreludeOfHeroes 21:47, 25 January 2011 (EST)


 * 1) I have a strong feeling this image is going to end up being "one in a series", given the Cezanne-like landscape artstyle of Skyward Sword. It wouldn't make any sense if this was the only landscape-like piece Nintendo cranks out in the Skyward Sword era because the image work is so brilliant. I'd just rather wait and see than to vote now. 19:06, 3 January 2011 (EST)


 * 1) This image just makes me think about how much I am going to LOVE Skyward Sword. It's a pleasant reminder each time :D  (Unsigned vote - see rule 6 above)
 * 2) I am looking forward to september for skywar sword's release and think that this should be featured.  (Unsigned vote - see rule 6 above)

I love this image. The colors in this image are very vivid and it has a nice resolution and a good transparency. Despite this boss's flamboyant colors, the official art really plays up the shadows and gives it a more ominous feel. 02:46, September 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Wow, nice. From far away the image doesn't seem that impressive, but when you load full size image you can really appreciate the carefully chosen hues of the flamboyant colors and the details in the shading. The juxtaposition of the bright colors and the foreboding lighting only make it that much more intimidating, from my point of view.  12:11, 7 October 2010 (EDT)
 * 2) I agree with Embyr. It's a good image, the shading and the overall tone make it a pretty unique image that deserves the nomination. Makes me want to pick up The Wind Waker and fight it at Ganon's Tower, but wait. That's black and white... Gormanbros 20:46, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * 3) I love the colors on this boss, and totally agree with Embyr and Gormanbros! Linkissohot 16:16, 23 December 2010 (EST)
 * 4) I don't know of a more vibrantly-colored boss! The image is of large size, and the transparency is professionaly executed. Let's feature this baby!  19:02, 3 January 2011 (EST)
 * 5) There's nothing else to say other than to agree and show my support. This is definitely one of the better boss artworks of the series. It would make a great addition to the featured pictures. It's now 5-0, so let's just get some votes in, and, like Cip said, feature this baby!  17:38, 11 January 2011 (EST)
 * 6) This picture really shows how the art of wind waker can create some of the best looking bosses in the series.Link hero of the winds 03:43, 20 February 2011 (EST)

This was a very memorable boss for me. I remember the boomerang kept missing its strings completely! This boss had some of the best graphics in the game, in my opinion.PoKaNoZ0 17:46, 29 March 2011  (Personal opinions unrelated to the actual image in question - see rule 7 above)

Mirror of Twilight (Front)
The Mirror of Twilight is a very beautiful work of art that is rarely seen in the series. Vastly unique. But the problem is that arguably the back side of the Mirror is just as beautiful and is even more obscure and rarely appreciated. It's appearance is so intricate and alluring on either side that you can't stop staring at it. (Now we now why Yeta couldn't stop looking at it!) So I'm choosing to nominate them both at once. This one is for the front of the mirror. Scroll down the page for the back! GO VOTE! 01:51, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Mirror of Twilight (Back)
The Mirror of Twilight is a very beautiful work of art yes. Vastly unique. But the back side of the Mirror is just as beautiful and is even more obscure and rarely appreciated. Very few people stop to take a look at the back of the mirror. It is surprisingly intricate and detailed. So I'm choosing to nominate them both at once. This one is for the back of the mirror. Scroll up the page for the front! GO VOTE! 01:51, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Hyrule Field Ocarina of Time 3D Artwork
A gorgeous image of Link and Epona riding through Hyrule Field that reminds us just how epic Ocarina of Time truly is. The colors are vibrant and both the image size and quality are decent. A perfect picture to get us pumped up and ready for the upcoming release of this grand masterpiece! Dany36 22:13, 13 April 2011 (EDT)


 * 1) The vivid usage of colors in this image, along with the epic scene really make this image stellar. The resolution is great, along all the small details such as flowers, birds, ect. that really give it depth and character. It's quite awesome, and very deserving of being featured. 02:43, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I like it as well. Has my vote as well. --K2L (Interrogatory) 23:58, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) What a dazzling piece of artwork! Hyrule Field has never been this beautiful. The image is incredibly detailed and accurate; the presence of Lon Lon Ranch, Hyrule Castle, and the entrance to Zora's River bring back so many memories of roaming Hyrule Field. I don't see how any Legend of Zelda fan could not feel nostalgic looking at it. This image is a perfect representation of how Ocarina of Time 3D breathes new life into one of the greatest classics of all time. 07:27, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 4) I was uneasy over the original version of the image. It was blurry, had visible compression artifacts, looked like it had resize pixelation, and didn't have Navi as was in the official artwork. So I went and fixed that and now that I've replaced it with a much better version that has sharper details, better colors, absolutely no jpg compression artifacts, better resolution and size, and has Navi, it's great! The colors are vibrant, and it has a lot of attention to detail. It's only a 2D image, but you can't help but feel that Epona's popping out of the screen at you, something we can look forward to in the game. It has my vote. 07:12, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) I am such a nerd. My heart actually started beating a little faster when I saw this image. It is crisp, beautiful, and a vivid reminder of why we love this game so much in the first place. The colors are rich; this is the Hyrule I saw in my dreams when I was 8 years old. :) Feature!!  11:27, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 6) I feel like I'm looking at something hanging at an art museum. This had so much attention put into it, and every part of it is crisp and beautiful... Wow.  09:57, 16 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 7) This piece of artwork has a good sense of what is featured in the game, such as Hyrule castle in the background. —★ Chip  200  20:30, 16 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 8) This piece of art was used on a teaser website, and I must say, I feel teased. The detail, the colours, the perspective. It all falls into place. Truly spectacular! 09:12, 17 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 9) This masterpiece is a wonderful throwback to the original Ocarina of Time's poster-esque artwork. This style is reminiscent of the scenes for other OoT, which away with the hard-edged black lines in favor of the crisp, natural colors that make the artwork look more alive. This picture is the epitome of that style. Noble Wrot 14:00, 18 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 10) In perhaps the fastest ascension to Featured the wiki's ever seen, I'm sealing the deal on this bombastic piece. Just look at it - words cannot describe how smoothly the textures melt into each other, how the sun seems to climb to greatness in the background while Link galops away on his noble steed in the foreground. Image is large, quality is sharp, and if this is what we can look forward to for Zelda art in the future, boy, our eyes are going to be well-fed for years to come! 15:26, 18 April 2011 (EDT)
