Link vs Dark Link Artwork
A great picture that accurately depicts the final fight in The Adventure of Link against Dark Link. Although the colors might be dull, the drawing style is great and makes up for it. Let's show Adventure of Link some love! :P Dany36 21:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) It's a great photo, not widely known, too. This picture captures perfectly the epicness and tenseness of AoL. It's a sweet pic, as far as I care. :3 :D Zelda nexgen 21:24, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) This is an exciting, vibrant image! I think it captures what The Adventure of Link was to fans back when it was released, as opposed to how it is looked at today. It originally had such an epic feeling, compared to the grainy, side-scrolling quest that today's fans envision when the term "Adventure of Link". It honestly makes me miss those days back then, but I'm glad we have this art around to help remind us of the joy. Plus, it's a nice-sized picture and is pretty high-quality. 04:22, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) This is a great image, and it's one of the few pieces of official art to feature Dark Link, and it's definitely the best. I'm more intrigued by the fact that they each have the Master Sword, but I know this art was made when ALttP was released. Noble Wrot 22:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Considering the age of this image, the quality is pretty good. It's about the best version of it that I've seen, and as an NES-generation Zelda fan, I've eagerly hunted down images of the old games ever since I started visiting Zelda sites. It would be nice to see an AoL image featured, considering it's probably one of the least-played of all of the Zelda games. The scene itself is great, anyone who's actually gone through that final battle (one of the hardest moments of any Zelda game ever in my opinion!) will appreciate the tension that is depicted.

 * 5) I like this image a lot. It has that retro classic look that's hard to resist. It's also pretty decent quality. I say go for it. 21:05, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Hands down, the most frustrating battle in Zelda history (if you didn't cheat). For a cartoony image, the quality is sharp. While it may be on the lower end of the spectrum, size-wise, the heightened sense of urgency depicted in this well-drawn work pays homage nicely to the amount of thumb strain and late nights spent attempting to defeat the Dark Link of The Adventure of Link. 21:22, 25 November 2010 (EST)
 * 7) Yeah, this is a pretty good image (although I don't get what the deal with the crumpled-up old geezer in the corner is :-S ). Also it'd be nice to boost the number of pre-OoT featured pictures, from the current measly two! 17:18, 30 December 2010 (EST)
 * 8) I personally like Adventure of Link and this pic has great artwork. A picture of Link vs. Dark Link should automatically be nominated 70 times, but one that was made before ocarina of time should be nominated 80 times. I like oot mor than aol(not america online) and the artwork is better, but I still like this epic pic! "Link4569 16:24, 11 January 2011 (EST)"
 * 9) Very nicely done piece of work. It's very different from anything we currently have featured, and the more varied the better, I say! Really defines the feeling you get after getting through the ridiculously hard game, only to have to fight the ridiculously hard final boss. Rambo Zelda 12:10, 13 January 2011 (EST)


 * 1) I normally wouldn't say anything about this picture, but due to the near unanimous decision to feature it (needing only one more vote to seal the deal at this point), I feel like the opposition should at least have a voice and should be considered before moving on. I do not like this image. Most of it has to do with the fact that I'm a rather "new-school" Zelda fan. For that reason, I just can't appreciate the art style or anything concerning AoL, really. Where others might see a representation of an epic and tense battle scene I see a goofy cartoon image that I just cannot take seriously. For "old-school" fans this picture may bring back memories and pleasant feelings of nostalgia, but being of the newer generation I just don't feel anything. I respect that many people appreciate this image (and in a lot of senses, it should be featured), but it's just not something I myself am capable of appreciating, and I think I speak for a lot of newer Zelda fans when I say so. 16:55, 13 January 2011 (EST)


 * 1) I don't really like the style that much, so I will stay neutral on this one.  However, it does capture the tense battle that Link has with...well himself, so that's a plus.  I'm not opposed or supportive of it, but it's alright. UnderdogAsh 13:39, 29 December 2010 (EST)

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)


 * 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)

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)


 * 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) Yeah I love the symbols of each of the realms in the corners, Wow  (Unsigned vote - see rule 6 above)

Kalle Demos
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)

Great Deku Tree
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)


 * 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. 09:33, 2 November 2010 (EDT)


 * 1) This image isn't that high of quality. It looks rather pixeled and low quality, something you'd see from a crappy scanner. 21:03, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Good picture, but please try to find a better, higher-quality version of it for a featured picture. 19:03, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
