Morpheel
Okay, I was asked to nominate this one. It is a good image. It is large and highly detailed. It's pretty good. Worthy of being featured. 19:54, November 19, 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) A lot of detail has gone into this image, even though it wasn't one of my favorite bosses its still a worthy picture.--Makar11 19:34, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I enjoy the flavour of the colour it presents an old apperance--Zanramon 20:11, 2 December 2008 (UTC)it has detail and its nice
 * 3) We do have alot of Twilight Princess pictures featured but this a very detailed image.--Link hero of light 01:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) This image is an accurate reprisentation on how the boss looks ingame and is strikingly detailed--L285 19:16, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I think it is detailed nice and it is agood pic and boss.--Midna1 02:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) This is a very good picture of this particular boss. The lighting shows every detail of this water beast. Definetly should be featured.--Nintendo_Master 03:15, 05 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) I think it is great, very detailed and better quality. --Link6767 12:34, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Since my suggestion has been met, I'll vote for this now. The image is definitely better quality and size. Not to mention, Morpheel was a good boss.  00:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) I would like to fight this boss. im almost there... its a really good, cool-looking picture. Qloob 11 22:52, 4 June 2009 (UTC)Qloob 11
 * 10) I remember fighting this boss he was very interesting but to this day I still love the way this picture makes him look. Heroofstuff 15:37 June 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Support


 * 1) This definatly depicts the boss extremely well. Just by looking at this picture you can imagine the boss swimming around.  (Unsigned vote by L33TSkillz - see rule 6 above)
 * 2) I think it is  a great detailed pic of this boss  it shows all of mophfeel--Bobbb 20:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Vote negated for abuse of multiple accounts. 20:44, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) It is a great it like you can see it the water a great and a detailed pic!!!--Kidd 21:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Vote negated for abuse of multiple accounts. 20:44, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) it is a great picture vey epic you see the whole boss.--Hi Vote negated for abuse of multiple accounts. 20:44, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Opposition


 * 1) A detailed picture to be sure... but it is not a very interesting image and not the greatest boss. I do not believe it is feature-worthy.--HeroOfTheWinds10 19:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree, its a good picture and all but nothing is really going on its just Morpheel on a white background... Im sure if you tried looking you could find a more worthy picture of him to be featured but this one just doesnt cut it.--Kresh64 01:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC) Above votes negated per opposition guidelines at the top of the page.  01:53, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I find the picture extremely boring. It doesn't show Morpheel's home terrain and looks fake because it's computer generated. It is highly detailed, but it looks like a sandworm because it's out of the water. Gives me the wrong impression, I had to do a double-take.  08:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC) Above vote negated per opposition guidelines at the top of the page.  19:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) The picture maybe a rendered version, but it's slightly bad quality. There is also a higher resolution on wikia.com found here. If we can get this rendered without the white, then it'll be good.  15:18, 10 May 2009 (UTC) I believe everything pointed out and requested in that opposition has been corrected and done. Therefore, the vote no longer applies.  00:06, May 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) This picture is rather uninteresting, and seems to lack color. Also, as Yusei said, there is a version with a higher res on wikia. It doesn't really seem "feature worthy" to me.  19:06, 13 May 2009 (UTC) Vote withdrawn by voter.  20:00, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) I think this image is to bland. It only shows his body, not how big he is in comparison to Link, not what terrain he is in, etc. --Purlo 15:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC) Above vote negated per opposition guidelines at the top of the page.  19:39, June 4, 2009 (UTC)

Everyone hold off one voting for this one either way for a while. We might be fixing some minor things with the image soon. 19:30, May 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Matt, are you sure that you don't just want to freeze the voting since you were the one who nominated it, and it gets shot down with one more vote? :) Just playing. :D 19:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)/


 * Okay, the new version is up. Bigger, better, brighter. Okay, mostly just bigger. Less blurry this time too. You may return to voting little peeps. 00:06, May 14, 2009 (UTC)

Zelda Wii
Leaked artwork from the upcoming game. It has a similar style to Twilight Princess and is very mysterious. It's also interesting Link isn't holding a sword.--Link hero of light 04:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) The image has little chance of it being a hoax anymore. Aside from that, it is a great size and quality. It is likewise a great painting, and having this as a featured picture is definitely worthwhile, as it depicts the current hot-topic of Zelda Wii, which people are interested in greatly. Has my support. 04:37, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I support Mases 04:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) It's probably real. It's similar to what the people who were able to attend to closed-door press conference described. An artist probably wouldn't have whipped it up so quickly, either. That point aside, it looks pretty darn awesome. Decent size and rez, too. 05:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Yes. Good image. I support. 06:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm definitely for it. The image gives fans a lot to think about. At least we have something to show us what the next Zelda title is going to look like. Noble Wrot 16:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Absolutely. I don't think there is any reason for this NOT to be featured. It has great resolution, a nice tease with the mysterious girl, great quality, and overall a very cool picture. This has MY vote! --DekuLink 02:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) Steve does have a point, but I think this image is too good to pass up waiting for something possibly better or more complete to appear. After all, it could always be replaced in future if deemed necessary. 17:37, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) This image is fantastic. Not only is the the image high quality, but it also raises questions. Who is the female/male behind him (note that the hair may look like a female, but I don't see anything on the chest :P)? Where are they going (note the background eerily looks like a cavern entrance that has blown up with fire coming out)? Is this a Twilight Princess Link or an Ocarina of Time Link in Twilight Princess style? What will the game be called (examples: Spirit of Time, Blade of Bane, etc. ...)? Just so many questions that can come from image. Anyways before I rant on... *places vote* 12:44, 2 July 2009 (UTC).
 * 9) You know what? We haven't gotten anywhere with this, nor voted in an image for more than a month, so I'm changing my decision. This is a good image after all, but it's been doing nothing but collecting dust, and I agree with Adam that it can always be superseded. The style is great, it creates alot of controversy for the new game; it is absolutely great. 03:22, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) Oh man, this image is a must, This is the image causing excitement among the fan community. Art is all about invoking emotion. Who'd deny this picture is doing that? It's an incredible image to see as well. 03:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to vote for this yet. It's a great image, superb size and quality, but judging by the title being simply "The Legend of Zelda" I can tell this isn't the final artwork. If there is, for all we know it will be even more epic than this, so I'm going to hold off just a bit longer and see what happens. Though, judging by this it will be featured within little time. 05:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC) Vote withdrawn by user.

{{hide|header=Death Sword (September 27, 2009)

Death Sword
I'm trying this again. Mostly because the image was updated since last time. I did some research. The votes against the old one were unfounded. Screen brightness has nothing to do with it. The real problem with the old in one was the loss of the glow and some color information in Death Sword itself. This new version is exactly the same except the darkest parts of the background are transparent. The new version is just a vibrant as the other. Except that is new really easy to see regardless of the screen brightness, unlike the old versions. This version is also huge. Actually bigger than the old one that is currently featured. 00:21, January 20, 2009 (UTC)

featured picture. --DekuLink 19:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) This picture isn't all that great at the size it is now. But it's quite stunning when you enlarge it. It really should be replaced.--Link hero of light 02:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Though both versions of this picture look great, this new one is totally sweet! The mist surrounding Death Sword gives the image the ethereal quality that you would expect from a ghost. Truly awesome ;) 04:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Death Sword was my favorite TP boss, and that pic is awesome! It really shows more of it's face.--SethOmega 04:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) As with the Faron picture from before, this image is far superior than its unrendered predecessor and should replace it as a new featured image. Mases 20:54, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm gonna have to support this. The render is extremely professional and worthy of
 * 1) I'm supporting this picture. This is truly great artwork, as both versions are the picture show the death sword great, especially the new one.Shnappy 07:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) The newer image is a lot better and actually better fits the Wiki page. As for the monster itself, it was the most amazing of all the mini bosses with it's ghostly wail and it's dark sword. Makes me wonder what it was and why exactly it was sealed.  18:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) It reminds me of a Nazgûl from LotR. I love it. Gammadiologist 20:05, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Some may recall that I opposed this suggested replacement back in October last year, when it was first proposed. I think, based on the level of support this already has, it makes little sense to hold this back over such a small change as the background colour. Also, with Matt's recent addition of the "imageback" option (which I've now also added to the boss template), we could potentially simply overlay the image on a black background to recreate the original effect if desired. 09:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I think its really pro picture and should get props for it so im going to support it.--Lt. Hammerspace 08:20, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Opposition


 * 1) I don't know how we stand on personal opinion when it comes to New Images Vs Old, but I'll take a risk. All I can say is the background of the old one is half the reason I like it. The new one does look good, but I still like the old more more than this one. --Felicia&#39;s Champion 09:01, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Above vote negated per opposition guidelines at the top of the page. 00:36, March 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) The new pic makes Death Sword easier to see and makes it seem more solid, therefore taking away some of the ghostly quality that it should have since it's just that,a ghost.--Bolter1 05:56, 25 March 2009 (UTC) Above vote negated per opposition guidelines at the top of the page. 18:28, May 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't want to make anyone upset or complain too much (it is because of that I didn't write this as an opposion) but once again, this is just the same picture with a swap of backgroundcolor. The same thing applies on the picture of Faron that became the new featured picture. --Olle93 23:09, 1 February, 2009 (UTC)


 * Change of back ground color can make a world of difference but, this image had more then just a "back ground color swap". For one, the old image was slightly cut-off (this one isn't), and the new version is larger, not to mention easier to see :) 04:28, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, on my computer the new version isn't larger, it actually seems a bit smaller than the new one, but maybe that's something that's just wrong with my computer... Anyway, I kinda think that the old backgroundcolor was better for a "dark" monster like death sword. --Olle93 18:15, 3 February, 2009 (UTC)


 * i think it is god but i think it takes away the quatiy --Link6767 18:20, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't oppose it according to the rules, but I definitely appreciate the original image more. As other users have stated, the black background adds to the ghostly feel, which is why the image probably became featured in the first place. Don't get me wrong- the new image looks great, and is done very nicely. However, it seems to pale in comparison. Just eep in mind that not all images look their best when transparent. 21:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Link and Ezlo
This image never got a fair run. The opposition against it last time was invalid but we did not have the guidelines then. This one is just so cool. Of the four images like this, this one is the best in my opinion. And the other three are featured. I say this one deserves that too. 20:43, April 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) It is nice detailed and colorful and looks cool.--Link6767 11:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) It's really detailed and it shows a bond between Elzo and link.-Mishalyn11 00:41, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) This picture is great. It has good color and detail, and I just love it. - ShellShocker 09:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) This picture is epic indeed. Seeing Elzo saving Link from a fiery death is awesomeness. --Petman1325 11:08, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) This picture is very detailed and I love the cartoonish style of the picture. I can definitely see some fear in Link's eyes.--Zenox 00:20, 24 May 2009
 * 6) It's a good image. It has a lot of stuff going on, without appearing to be too busy. It really defines Link and Ezlo's characters. 18:16, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) I support this image. Mases 05:43, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Yeah, this image is of nice quality, and it's also interesting. 04:19, October 13, 2009 (UTC) 04:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) Picture quality is sharp! It really captures Link and Ezlo's relationship - its got my vote! 15:23, October 21 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) This is a great quality, great size and really encapsulates the feel of The Minish Cap in a very attractive piece of art. Deserves to be featured. 06:23, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Hyrule Castle Twilight Princess Artwork
Gorgeous, rare image that depicts Hyrule Castle in all its glorified majesty. Great artist rendition seen in the Japanese guide that definitely should be featured for all Zelda fans to see. :) Dany36 02:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) This artwork is pretty classy, I must say. Showing its glory would be an amazing thing. Plus, it could even prompt intrigued readers to read more ;) 03:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) This picture is great. Just great. It needs to be featured! 03:52, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) YOWZA! This picture is so hot, I'm getting burned just leaving a supportive comment! Agreed, it's quite an excellent picture, so let's feature this baby! 01:21, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Sweet! Totally gorgeous and sophisticated (Like Link! Ha!) 01:45, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Amazing. It's so lifelike, it's hard to believe it's art. Beautifully done. Guru-Guru NMW 22:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Pretty cool image, I must say. However, I wouldn't call it "rare" anymore, now that we've all seen it. ;) 19:47, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Breathtaking. Really makes you wish it was a real place you could go to and explore. 19:53, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Amazing image. Not only is it great and majestic, it also is extremely clear and centered well. It definitely deserves to be featured. Psychoboo13
 * 9) Considering that this is from the Japanese release it is rare for an English Wiki. Amazing artwork, very nearly photorealistic. PureLocke 23:06, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I love this artwork and have liked it since I last saw it about a month ago. Definately a treasure that should be posted on the featured pictures on the main page. Also, ten votes. I win. :P  23:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

{{hide|header=Cragma Artwork. August 4, 2010)
 * content=

Cragma Artwork
This picture truly captures the dangerous feel and epic-osity of Link's battle with Cragma, the fourth boss of Spirit Tracks. The image quality and applied transparency is extremely sharp, not to mention the eye-opening usage of color and contrast. The physical emotion that emanates from this fiery fight is extrordinary! 05:20, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) This is an all round great image. The transparency is done perfectly and it is of a large size and quality. It artistically captures the severity of this battle, and the meanness of Cragma. There's not really anything against it. 11:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) As Mel said, the transparency is great and...er...what else is there to say except epic? 06:48, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) I love the details, the action poses, and the colors. A great picture that deserves to be featured. Dany36 18:43, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I support this image. Mases 00:14, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) This is one of my favorite images we got from Spirit Tracks. It has nice colors, shows how difficult Cragma can be, etc. etc. I approve it due to being epic. 15:59, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) i really like this image. it has good transparency, and amazing quality. it really is one of the best pics on the wiki, in my opinion. plus it's epic.Ottobot 16:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I haven't played Spirit Tracks, but this makes it tempting, very vivid and exciting, besides having a really cool design. PureLocke 17:00, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Why should this not be features? Out of all the crappy Spirit Tracks images, there is one that stands out. This is it, and is among the few epic Spirit Tracks images. 14:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Exactly what Mel said. It's a perfectly made image in almost every way. Josh 21:09, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Totally agree with Cip on this one. Aside from the outstanding quality, I love the way the lighting's done and the overall dynamic feeling it has. Epic, it most certainly is! 16:09, 4 August 2010 (EDT)

The Wind Waker Artwork
Another fine piece from The Wind Waker, and unlike the others, captures the mood of the game with Link sailing on the King of Red Lions. Further than that, it's a very large image with great quality and color; definitely feature-worthy. 20:49, 21 November 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) Nice, epic image. Supported.  23:05, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I like this image. It's nice quality, interesting. Should be featured. 19:37, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) A beautiful scene from The Wind Waker, high-quality with vivid, eye-opening colors. It captures the sense of adventure found on the Great Sea and evokes an epic feeling. It deserves to be featured. There are only two other Wind Waker pictures featured, and this one is unique on its own - one of my favorite from the Wind Waker. Midnafan321 21:31, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I can't believe you drew that! That's amazing! Totally should be featured! Linkissohot 14:44, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I support this image. Mases 16:40, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Out of all the pictures nominated, this one is my favorite, you can really get the feeling of high adventure found in all Zelda games. User:coasterjudge 21:03, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) This is a great image! It's viewpoint, Forsaken Fortress backdrop, and appearing more as a screenshot than most WW artwork (A nice change of pace) makes it a great piece of art that deserves the spot. Gormanbros 21:34, 15 August 2010 (EDT)Gormanbros
 * 8) I like this image, how it shows Link heading into the Great Sea, with the evil behind him(Forsaken Fortress). Really Nice! should definetly be featured.--Vaati28 21:42, 20 August 2010 (EDT)
 * 9) This is the quintessential image of The Wind Waker. Not only does it capture the cartoon-like, exaggerated feel of the title, it's brilliant coloration and size rounds out a perfect nomination.  18:44, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
 * 10) I love this image, and not just for its style and quelity, but for the movement and emotion it carries. It reminds me of my favourite pastime while sailing in TWW; panning the camera around slowly at a low angle like this, to get the full effect of the epicness of Link and tKoRL cutting a swathe across the vast ocean!  08:04, 23 August 2010 (EDT)


 * 1) Though I'm not entirely sure, I think the image is a little cut-off at the top. Didn't this picture initally showed more? The Goron Moron 07:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, you're right. There's more to this image but I can't seem to find a high-quality full version of it. So I guess this will have to do...for now. :( Dany36 11:17, 23 August 2010 (EDT)

Rail Map
I absolutely love this image. It has such a intense feel to it. I love all the detail it has in it and how ornate it looks. I had looked at the in-game versions of this and I had noticed some of it, but this image simply took my breathe away. It's awe-inspiring and stunning. What more is there to say about this awesome image? 04:27, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) The texture of this map is practically tangible. I can picture myself holding the map, running my hand across its heavy relief; the image is so refined and of such impeccable quality. 00:44, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
 * 2) Awesome! It feels so mysterious and adventurous -- and that is so classically ZELDA!! Really great image. 10:55, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
 * 3) This image is extremely high quality, and it's very detailed. 20:24, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I didn't know this picture existed until now. It is really a good picture, quality wise. Gormanbros 17:16, 20 September 2010 (EDT)
 * 5) Wow!! I can imagine digging that up from ancient ruins or being a ancient treasure passed down through many Generations, it looks Brilliant!! GFlame 05:00, 30 September 2010
 * 6) This picture is really detailed, I could just gaze at it for an hour or two. Zeldarules8 08:57, 25 November 2010 (EST)
 * 7) What some see as "not blending well into the transparency" or "looking choppy" I see texture that makes this picture feel so ancient and realistic, like the map would crumble to the touch. With the newer, higher resolution version uploaded just recently, there's all the more reason to be featuring this. 11:53, 2 February 2011 (EST)
 * 8) The high resolution picture definitely makes this picture appear much better. It feels to me that I could just take it up from the screen and run my hand across it and feel every groove, bump, and texture on it. I wonder if I do that will make something pop out of it. *laughs*. Well done and well deserved to be a Featured Picture. 10:43, 14 February 2011 (EST)
 * RAP, you are and continue to be my hero. I was tempted to vote for this before the upgrade, but it was so tiny I just couldn't bring myself to do it. This image is unique and superb, and needs to be shared with the world! 16:28, 15 February 2011 (EST)
 * 1) This image is definitely one of the best I've seen on this wiki. The high-resolution image makes this picture better than most. It actually looks realistic. This image is definitely worthy of being featured. Danton12396 20:01, 18 February 2011


 * 1) If opened in full size, this image's sides don't blend well into the transparency and look a little choppy. 09:43, 2 November 2010 (EDT)


 * 1) Heads up! I just uploaded a more hi-res version of the image. Glare and stare...! For those who are about to oppose, or still kept its' position, check the image first! --RAP 00:40, 29 January 2011 (EST)
