{{hide|header=PhantomHourglassscene13.png (Bellumbeck) — Failed on April 18, 2009 This picture is from the ending sequence of Phantom Hourglass. I think it's style is pretty neat.--Link hero of light 16:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

{{Support}} {{Oppose}} {{neutral}} Size is reason enough to not vote for it, but hardly justifiable to Oppose an image. The Images above are all great but Opposition votes with the reason of "We already have several very similar images featured." would fit in the rules as stated above. Just bear that in mind before Failing this image. {{:User:Axiomist1875/sig}} 04:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) This is a great picture showcasing the artstyle of Phantom Hourglass's cutscenes. I major Yes. -ATRUEZELDAFAN 13:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) PH has no featured pictures yet, this is worthy on it it's own, it reflects the action and style of the game very nicely. Much more than being a nice image, it's the perfect example of what can be expected from Ph's innocent appearance and fearsome phantoms. {{:User:Axiomist1875/sig}} 06:44, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) An awesome picture, very stylish and cool looking. Also, a nice action scene. Axle the Beast 04:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I love this style and tried to do something like that, too. And therefore I can say that this picture is one of the best from the cutscences and not as simple, as it may seem. And also, if PH doesn't have any featured pictures yet, this is another point for it. --Nelde 18:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) This is a really good picture from what is perhaps one of the best portable games ever. It shows all the dynamic emotion and styles that were used in the game, as well as how the boss is fought, in a sort of vauge way.--Petman1325 20:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) The Phantom Hourglass cut out style is so unique!Corey Lord of Tacos! 02:02, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) This image is incredibly small. It is much smaller than most of our currently featured images. Plus it is one image out of many that are very similar to it. Doesn't really strike me as awesome. Not compared to what we have.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 21:47, April 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with Matt. Although Bellumbeck is awesome, this cutout doesn't stand out from the others in my opinion and doesn't really seem like much compared to other nominees. Kind of droll really. Then there's the size. {{:User:Melchizedek1866/sig 04:12, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Bellumbeck would have made a good featured picture however, this image is incredibly small. Hardly eye catching or even interesting. Not really feature worthy.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 02:21, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

I as well, will not oppose this image, we have had Phantom Hourglass nominations before. I'd hate to see this one fail because of my vote, but it's certainly not featured material. First of all, Link hero of light, when Matt and Mel told you the image is too small, they meant the image itself; increasing the thumbnail size will do no good. Also by "large", they mean LARGE at least 900px in height, and size of an image does matter (large images give the "wow factor"). Even in the guidelines it states "it's too low resolution" as one of the examples as a justifiable opposition.{{:User:Steven2113/sig}} 20:31, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

{{hide|header=Epona w link.png (Link with Epona) — Failed on October 1, 2009|content= This is a very cool image that needs to be featured. There are not very many Epona pictures but I think this one is the best. It really captures the image of Ocarina of Time. It is very nicely drawn and old school. It needs to be featured.--Lt.

 * 1) Eh...my first and real gripe with this image is the quality. It seems choppy and the transparency job is rather poor. It's also rather uninteresting.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 04:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) The transparency job is done badly, but the image also offers nothing special. It is rather stock-standard, not encapsulating any mood or interest. It doesn't draw people in. {{:User:Melchizedek1866/sig 04:11, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) There are several visible leftovers from a quick and somewhat sloppy transparency job. The tail seems a little choppy and it looks like the sword is missing a few pixels. The tail and mane also look like parts are missing as well as having some background left over. As far as I'm concerned this isn't the highest of quality.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 04:32, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) The image doesn't look that great now that I know what it is. It's not bad, but not featured quality. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 18:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

{{hide|header=Link and Ezlo Still Life.png (Link and Ezlo Still Life) — Failed on May 10, 2010|content= Boy do we love {{TMC}} here at ZW! This image brilliantly captures the relationship between Link and Ezlo, reminiscent of Link and Navi from Ocarina of Time - Ezlo always tries to provide Link advice and "get through to Link's head", literally! With it's expertly done transparency, cartoony, yet vivid contrast, and nice size, this image is definitely overqualified for the Featured Pictures category! {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 21:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Wow, my b. I did not realize that this image was one in a series of similar images, all depicting Ezlo and Link in a similar manner. :( {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 21:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I vote against for the same reason as Cip, here. It's one of a series of similar images. Nothing unique about it.{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 03:26, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

{{Support}} {{Oppose}} {{Neutral}} }}
 * 1) Well I think it's a good image, despite what Alter said. It has much more positive things to be a Featured Image instead of that one fault. It has nice colors and perspective. It shows fierceness in Link... Etc. {{:User:Yusei/sig}} 23:05, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose per opposition guideline part "E". Several variations of the images make for an unimpressive Featured Image. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 18:18, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I have to agree with Alter. It's not terribly unique, really. It's the same sort of thing we've seen in the artworks from PH and TMC, which make for a generally bland feel. We've got much better ST images than just this, so why settle? :P{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 21:48, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I agree as well. The image is generic, rather uninteresting, and really no different than the hundreds of other, similar images of Link, the Phantom, and the Spirit Train. 1337star 21:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

{{hide|header=LinkImpa.png (Link and Impa) — Failed on September 13, 2010|content= I'm not sure what it is that caused me to look at this picture and think "Oh, boy! I think I'll nominate this for a Featured Image!". For some reason, it just struck as interesting, in a good sort of way. I love the image as a whole; it feels reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel in both theme and art (though Impa hardly fulfills the role of the witch). The piece of art itself is rare, having been scanned from an original Japanese guide for {{TLoZ}}, and is of good quality and size. And the transparency job's not too bad, either. I should know, as I took care of that myself ;) {{:User:Alter/sig}} 04:22, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

{{Support}} {{Oppose}} {{Neutral}} }} {{clear}}
 * 1) I like the art style, and it has pretty good transparency.Ottobot 23:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Uh... the quality of this image is very poor. The edges are ugly: It looks like a Cucco pecked a keyboard to do the transparency. And it looks like it's a low-quality scan that was blown up to size, so it's all pixelated. Frankly I'd be embarrassed to have something with such low quality featured.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 04:27, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) The quality isn't very good, and the transparency is bad considering there's a white line around the whole thing. {{:User:Mandi/sig}} 04:47, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm not a fan of the style, mainly because it makes the image appear blotty and horrible. We're really looking for some higher quality images to feature, not ones that make people look and think "Ew, that's messed up." I know it's really supposed to look that way, but it just isn't presentable. Sorry, but I gotta oppose.{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 20:55, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
 * First off, I mistakenly uploaded the wrong file. :P I just replaced it with the most recent one, so the transparency problem's fixed. Also, artwork of that style is usually similar in "quality". That's not a quality issue, I don't believe, but a style issue. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 23:22, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

{{hide|header=Ambrosia Lite.png (Ambrosia Lite) — Failed on October 7, 2010|content= This image really sums up the awesomeness of the Valiant Comics. Whether you're a fan or not, this is a fun, high-quality image (as high as it can get), which 99% of the Zelda population has never seen before now. Cast your vote below, and remember- drink responsibly. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 05:46, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

{{Support}} {{Oppose}} {{neutral}} {{negated}} }} {{hide When I first saw this image, I was just... wow. The detail is stunning, with the light coming through the leaves and and the shading on the Great Deku Tree himself. It captures the intensity of a new adventure, with Link staring timidly into his darkened mouth. I think it truly is feature-worthy. Rambo Zelda 15:39, 29 October 2010 (EST) {{Support}}
 * 1) I don't know why, but I really like this image. Like Alter mentioned, it's not a well-known image, and the details are pretty amazing. Definitely should be featured! Dany36 05:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) This is a great image. Good quality considering it's from the comics, and while some people may wonder why an image like this could be featured, I think that the curiosity raised is a nice opportunity for Zelda fans to learn about the comics. Given their age, there's a good chance that later-generation fans may have never even heard of them before. Shona 09:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Definitely. I still need to get those comics, anyway it'll be good to raise awareness the comics and the older games. PureLocke 22:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, totally unique, and the quality is surprisingly good. I say we have more obscure pics like this in the future! {{User:Pyrobomber/sig}} 02:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) To me, this seems like a rather small part of Zelda and Valiant Comics. It is deatiled, but there's nothing special about it. --F4{[Domino29]} 21:17, 12 August 2010 (EDT)
 * 2) Am I allowed to re-add and re-phrase my vote if it got negated, especially if I feel the negater misunderstood me? Because I wasn't saying that the subject of the picture was bad, I was saying that the picture itself doesn't deserve to be featured. It just looks like a normal picture; nothing special about it. {{User:Minda of Darkness/sig}}
 * 3) Although this technically meets all of the criteria, I feel that the image is a little small in terms of resolution. Also, it doesn't really have the visual impact I'm looking for in something that's going on the main page. Aside from that this was nominated 10 months ago and has only gained four supporting votes; that's enough to convince me that it's never going to make it to featured status. {{:User:Adam660/sig}} 07:59, 7 October 2010 (EDT)
 * 1) Guys, it's not even that detailed. {{User:Minda of Darkness/sig}}08:38, 14 September 2010 (EDT) Negated per opposition guideline # 2.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 02:16, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) This image...it's so opaque, but the thing about it that caught my eye is the shadows. They contrast with the rest of the image so well I want to get my controller and make a new file just so I can compare the image to the tree in the game.{{:User:HelmarokKing/sig}} 09:33, 2 November 2010 (EDT)

{{Oppose}} {{neutral}} Good picture, but please try to find a better, higher-quality version of it for a featured picture. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 19:03, November 25, 2010 (UTC) }} {{hide A big image with fantastic quality, also it shows the three main characters of Spirit Tracks. If viewed at full size, you can see that it is perfectly cropped and not messy. It shows that even the train is an important character in the game. This picture has every right to be featured. --Masked Kafei 06:29, 4 May 2011 (EDT) {{Support}}
 * 1) This image isn't that high of quality. It looks rather pixeled and low quality, something you'd see from a crappy scanner.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 21:03, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm going to have to say no here, too. It's way too small and pixelated. It looks like it was scanned out of the Nintendo Power guide, as it's about that size and it's has artifact lines running back and forth on it that look like it's from light leaking into the scanner, like you get when scanning something from a book or magazine. Unless a better version can be found, I don't think this should be featured.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 02:07, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, unfortunately the size and quality are too limited for this to be used. Maybe if an improved version can be found this could be nominated again. {{:User:Adam660/sig}} 08:02, 25 February 2011 (EST)

 * 1) I agree. Even zooming in all the way, the picture is not pixely.  It is very HQ and shows the "characters" of the game.  :3 LegendOfHyrule31 21:00, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

{{Oppose}} {{neutral}} }}
 * 1) While there's nothing particularly wrong with this image, I'm not wowed by it at all. There's no weight to it - it's three rather plain, if accurate, renders in one picture. It needs something more notable to qualify for featured status... something that makes me say to myself, "How have I never seen this amazing picture before?!" {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 00:53, 6 May 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) I absolutely agree. There's really nothing that special to me about this picture. If this deserves to be featured, then so does pretty much every other high quality Spirit Tracks artwork we have. There are plenty of amazing, high quality renders around the Wiki. That doesn't mean they all deserve to be featured. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 08:15, 6 May 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) While this image is fantastic in the respect that it really showcases some of the characters of Spirit Tracks, however it's rather bland, and there's nothing extraordinary considering we have much more interesting images from Spirit Tracks.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 18:16, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

{{hide 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.

Not only does the resolution seem to be low, but the transparency is choppy and not to mention the black lines are rather obnoxious looking. It's a beautiful image, just not feature quality. {{:User:Mandi/sig}} 23:04, June 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, it's interesting in terms of something to have in the article, but the image doesn't stand on its own merits. The black lines look weird, and the pixels are all quite visible. Also, it's a circular object, but this image isn't even round; it's a regular icosagon! (yes, I had to look the name up) {{:User:Adam660/sig}} 16:01, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

{{neutral}} {{clear}} }}
 * 1) I'd nominate this one because it's just so cool, but my only critique would be that it is a bit blurry at full size. I believe that making this image smaller (maybe around 20% smaller) may fix a large percentage of the blurriness; across the wiki in thumbnail form, this image looks highly awe-inspiring! {{:User:Cipriano555/sig}} 09:16, 6 May 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) Ditto Cip's sentiments. I love how this is one of those things you don't see often but just looks so cool... if the blurriness can be dealt with, it will have my vote. {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 12:52, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

{{hide Came across this ages ago, and I've finally got around to nominating it. Sure, it's a minor item gameplay-wise, and only appeared in one game in the series. But does that matter?

 * 1) Brilliant quality and an interesting image. Featuring this image would be a good way to introduce people to an obscure item that they have not seen before. The curling smoke just makes it that much more interesting--Fierce diety 00:23, 12 May 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) Amazing coloring. Not only is the item itself pretty cool, but I've always thought those treasure orbs looked epic. The smoke at the bottom gives it a very mysterious vibe, too. The Reject Phoenix 03:59, 12 May 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) Whoa, that looks awesome. The smoke looks like a Floormaster a bit AND my favorite color is purple. I never knew they were called Treasure Spheres either. Epicly voting for this.- TriforceSlash 18:19, 12 May 2011 (EDT)
 * 4) Sheesh, man. I always see these and I have to slash at these whenever they appear from any enemies, it's just so surreal and beautiful looking, plus, you really and honestly don't know what will appear in the mystical/mysterious sphere, really. I vote for this, very, very much.  Hylian Historic  14:48, 3 June 2011 (EDT)
 * 1) The quality isn't the best, and I think the picture is kind of odd. The smoke seems to have been taken from another shot. TriforcePieceofWisdom 13:04, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) The quality seems quite poor. The smoke does stand out quite a bit more than it ought to, it isn't the same quality as the rest of the image. It looks like it was just pasted over it, just tacked on after the fact, poorly. Several parts of the image are very blurry, which makes an unpleasant contrast with the parts that are very sharp. I just don't see how it stands out.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 05:23, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Though small, this image still pulls off the look of a traditionally made collage flawlessly, with crisp colours and textures which really gives off that traditional storybook feel, brimming with legends to tell. Even with the restraints of the small "canvas", every detail has been carefully added and placed; you can still tell what story is being told. With an artistic flair, you cannot deny, this charming piece deserves a feature. Ochibi 06:16, 7 November 2011 (EST)

 * 1) It's a good picture—one that certainly speaks volumes—but I don't think it's so special as to be worth featuring. Generally, when I look at any of our current featured pictures, I could stare at them for hours on end. This one is not particularly dazzling; one quick glance and you've seen all there is to see. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 07:25, 8 November 2011 (EST)
 * 2) I have to agree with Hylian King here. I do not see anything particularly iconic about this image. It seems the moment is not very memorable compared to other events in the game. There are better images represented in the same style as this one, too. It is not a bad image, but it is not Featured Picture worthy either. Noble Wrot 12:51, 17 December 2011 (EST)

 * 1) This is image is supported by me because i think the Mirror Of Twilight is a very cool item also if you look at this picture it gives off kind of a rotating illusion.Sammoldy  04:20, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

 * 1) While it looks OK in thumbnail view, I have to say I don't think the image quality is good enough to feature it. There's that weird black line around the inner edge. And the fact that it's angular instead of circular... Also, as a unique magical object, to me it's much more epic when it's actually doing it's thing than just sitting there as a flat surface. EDIT: Plus, this version is significantly better! {{:User:Adam660/sig}} 02:27, 28 February 2012 (EST)

I also noticed this with the edges of the image itself.

 * 1) As Cip predicted, there are now other similar images of Faron Woods, so nothing to really set this one apart. Also, there are plenty of other, arguably more interesting landscape shots from SS. I feel like the first image we feature from the game should be something more engaging and representative. {{:User:Adam660/sig}} 02:27, 28 February 2012 (EST)
 * 2) Indeed. As beautiful as this picture is, I don't find it stands out from the many other awesome Skyward Sword landscapes. Lake Floria, Eldin Volcano, the Ancient Cistern, and the Fire Sanctuary are just a few examples. I wish we could just feature all of them! {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 07:15, 29 February 2012 (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. {{:User:Cipriano555/sig}} 19:06, 3 January 2011 (EST)

 * 1) It's kind of interesting looking, I suppose, but I can't say I'm really happy with the idea of prominently showing high-resolution product images like this (since it's something other wikis specifically tend to steer away from for legal reasons). Aside from that vague concern, we already have quite a few WW images featured, two of which have Link and KoRL as their subject matter, so I don't really feel it helps the overall diversity. {{:User:Adam660/sig}} 03:05, 29 February 2012 (EST)

 * 2) If we had an image from the HD Experience demo, it'd be much better to include the one of Link fighting Armogohma. While I love Link's model in this, it is essentially just an HD version of his Twilight Princess and Brawl appearance, and not really that worthy of a featured image, although it does have nice lighting. {{:User:Fizzle8094/sig}} 18:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) This image doesn't seem very impressive to me. The lighting is quite nice, but that's about it. There isn't really anything about this image that's particularly amazing or notable; it's just Link standing there, and it's slightly blurry too. I agree with Fizzle; it'd be far better if we were to feature one of the images of Link fighting Armogohma. Furthermore, we're likely to see much better images in the future when Zelda Wii U is actually released, so we might as well wait until then before we take any action. {{:User:Dannyboy601/sig}} 21:09, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) This image does appear slightly blurry and small. However, the style of the game/demo does make this image stand out.

 * 1) While the picture is definitely impressive and detailed, the problem is that we don't have any information yet about the graphical style of the game, so I think it is a bit premature to include it at this point. Zeldafan1982 22:54, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with Zeldafan. It's a cool picture, but it doesn't really strike me as "interesting," considering that we know nothing about the game. Hey, as far we know, this might not even be in the game. Tech demos have a fun way of just throwing together something for the sake of showcasing new stuff. It would be more prudent to wait for actual information about the game.{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 12:55, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) Well, I personally don't think that this is "symbolic". The new HD Zelda we know nothing about, so it might be much less realistic. It does, however, show the Wii U's potential, and the image itself is high-quality. Every tiny detail, from the patterns on the torches to the markings on Armogohma's legs, adds contrast to this image. There is an amazing use of shadow and dimension in this image, with every aspect of it standing clearly on a different layer. It's also extremely high resolution. {{:User:Darkness/sig}} 12:30, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) This picture IS great! I took a look at the full resolution photo, and everything you said is right! And this is a WiiU remake? If all the Zelda stuff looks this good on the WiiU, we have found ourselves a new major console. Ankazar 16:57, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) It's not a bad shot, but we have no idea if the final game will look anything like this as this is pretty much the earliest we're seeing it. It's also kind of barren looking, as it's just the island with the new HD lighting style and not much else. We have a lot of Wind Waker images already and I much prefer art to screenshots, also. We're bound to get WAY more impressive Wind Waker WiiU images than this one, so it seems like jumping the gun. {{:User:Fizzle8094/sig}} 18:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) I'm not too sure about this one. I think it's a very nice image, especially with the HD style. It's also quite a good panoramic; it's taken at an interesting angle and beautifully depicts such an iconic location. However, it does seem rather unpolished. There aren't any ripples or waves on the sea, making the water appear bland and the shadows of the clouds sharp. Also the glow effect leaves a lot to be desired. {{:User:Dannyboy601/sig}} 23:27, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) This is a nice shot, but the bloom effect seems a tad overdone. Also, as Danny said, it seems unfinished. While it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing to feature, I feel like we'd just get something higher quality later on down the line.{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 21:58, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
