An amazing picture that to me, shows the true potential of the Master Sword. --Seablue254 17:25, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Its a bit to fuzzy--Zanramon ( ' .' ) look its kirby ['_>'] 17:42, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
Zanramons right, it's too fuzy. --Link hero of light 21:06, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
I also agree. It's incredibly low-resolution as well. --Jase 07:45, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
It's too fizy.--Article and Picture Voter 11:25, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Clear picture and as far as I know, ZW.org is the only zelda wiki that has a picture of zelda action figures.--Link hero of light 17:55, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

I think it'd be fun to have a picture of the toy Zant up. (Unsigned vote by Blood Rayne - see rule 6 above)

Opposition

Not one for me, I'm afraid. Neither the image or the figure itself are particularly good. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 15:19, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
No this picture aint that great —lom678
It's not necessarily a bad or incredibly common image, but it doesn't quite seem worthy of being featured to me. --Douken 20:11, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

Cool picture from a cool game.--Article and Picture Voter 11:37, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Interesting. I think the Wind Waker graphics could use a bit of Twilight Princess dust, but 3D 'Toon Link looks rather cute. --Emeryn 19:41, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
My little sister is one who nominated this, but sibling rivalry aside :), this is a pretty good picture.--Link hero of light 19:47, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
I agree. this is a cool picture from a cool game! Let's feature it! --Seablue254 15:23, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
Appart from this person being my username. This picture is clear and just awesome.--Toon Link 21:01, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
One pick that definetly deserves to be featured.--The Legend of Zelda 00:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
this picture should without a doubt be featured.--User:Gillispie 15:52, 14 April
Toon link is cool and Wind waker is one of my favourite zelda games.--Olle93 20:51, 15 April
He's my best Brawl character and my favorite Link incarnation--IceySheegoth11:24,28 April 2008 (PT)

Opposition

I really like this picture and think that it should eventually be a featured picture. But Brawl has been out for less than a month and I don't think we should have spoilers of this level on the main page. --Hisak 21:24, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
I agree with Hisak. At this point of time, this is still spoiler worthy for those few Zelda fans who don't know about it.Mases 16:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Truthfully, I don't see the difference between any of the Smash Bros. pictures on this Wiki, besides the character standing in them. They're pretty standard pictures. I also agree with Hisak and Mases. At least feature it later on... --Yuvorias 12:57, 29 April 2008 (EST)

The picture quality isn't the best, but I think the pure coolness (My opinion) makes up for it. --AmrasCalmacil 17:13, 5 April 2008 (EDT) P.S. - Sorry that the bottom of the picture juts slightly into the nomination below.

i love Zant! He is probably one of the coolest bosses. And Twilight Princess was my first Zelda game. I love his story he tells you. --TwilightKing2
As he recently became my favourite boss, I'll give my month's vote to Zant. It is an awesome picture. From the Wii, I notice. --Yuvorias

Opposition

The pictures a little too fuzzy --David ^{(T : C)} 21:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
It's not a bad picture, but the quality could be a little better if it's to be featured... --Douken 22:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, although the quality is ok as screenshots go, it's still not really good enough for featured status. Plus, Zant is already a featured article, so I don't really think he qualifies as a featured picture nominee as well. --Adam 05:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

One of the more epic Ocarina of Time pictures and one of Link's signiture attacks--Magnus orion 17:25, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

Maybe if it was the original picture, but as this is a wallpaper made from the art, no TheManInTheMoon 07:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm with ManInTheMoon on this. --Douken 22:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, to be honest, the version which was initially nominated made me think immediately "no way". Then I reverted it to it's first and current version, and thought I'd leave it to others to make opinions first. However, I'm in agreement that in it's current form this image doesn't cut it.--Adam 05:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

This picture of the Master Sword is breathtakingly beautiful, in my opinion. It deserves this status. --Mr. Mystery, 12:13, 9 May 2008 (EST)

Support

Opposition

Yeah, I have to oppose this one. The article Master Sword is also nominated, and it looks like it'll pretty soon end up being featured. That being the case, this image will already be on the main page anyway! (Oh yeah, and also this image has already been featured pretty recently too! Need I go on?) --Adam 21:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I have to agree with Adam on this. And apart from that, the is not all that great.--Link hero of light 22:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
This image is not that good in quality. The only good thing in the image is the Master Sword. The quality of the sword in the March 24, 2008 image in much better.--Emma 04:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Love it. --The Legend of Zelda 00:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Support

Opposition

I like the subject matter, and there really should be a featured pic of the final epic duel between Link and Ganondorf, but when I take a look at the full-sized image, it's just too blurry. When I played the game, I was fairly sure that I could make out more of Ganondorf's facial features than a couple of dots and a curved line for his eyes and mouth. For the time being, it's a no. If you could find a cleaned up version of it, I would certainly vote for it.
I agree, it's definately more clear on the game. As soon as it's cleared up, it'll have my vote. --Mr. Mystery, 11:17, 11 May 2008 (EST)
I don't think it should ever be featured, clear or not.--Link hero of light 02:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

At the core of Zelda gameplay there are battles. This image perfectly captures that element in all games.--041744 04:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

More duplicates? We've already very recently featured a picture of Link fighting Darknuts. While this is a nice image, it would have to wait until the other had been disqualified before a nomination would get anywhere. We have thousands of images here at ZW, surely we don't need to have repeats within a selection of the 16 best ones? --Adam 07:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
This should not have even been nominated. It does not have any templates. Also, there was already four images up for voting - at the time of its nomination. We don't need featured images similar to ones we already have.--Emma 08:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

This is a cool picture.--Article and Picture Voter 18:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to have to say no on this one. This image is too small. Also, there already is a featured picture with the King of Red Lions in it. In fact, the pose looks almost identical in both. and the other image is much larger.--Emma 22:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm saying no to it as well for all of the above reasons, plus the fact that there seems to be little to the picture itself. Okay, it's the KoRL in a generic pose, so what? A featured picture should capture the essence of the moment, like reuniting Anju and Kafei or link claiming the master sword, etc..--Rdnckj258 23:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I find it kind of funny that almost directly below this image is an identical version of it included in another featured picture :) --Adam 07:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

This picture was cool before, but now that it has been cleared up, it's just amazing! This really deserves a feature.--Link hero of light 21:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It's official. This picture is so awesome it owns all the haters out there. --Seablue254 12:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it took me soooooooo long to mess about with the wing edges adding transparency - It'd be nice to see this one featured ;) --Adam 21:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I'll give it my vote. It is a nice picture. --Yuvorias, 9:52, 30 May 2008 (EST)
Even before the image was touched up it seemed feature-worthy, so it definitely has my vote now. --Douken 19:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it's pretty cool and very nice graphics but I don't know...--ZeldaGirl96 17:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
If nominated, this would have been a "one out of many" image. We can't have that.--Emma 17:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Though not obvious or straightforward, the Desert Colossus seems to have a majestic yet subtle beauty breaking through the limitations of a Nintendo 64's specs. The goddess receives little attention, and I barely even noticed it on my first playthrough of Ocarina of Time, but this image perfectly captures a grace which so many eyes seem to miss... and for that, I believe it deserves to be featured. --Douken 19:54, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

~~If it wasn't for the texturing on the cliff's I'd swear this was from a newer game, especially since I've missed it every time I've gone through OoT. This has my vote.~~(Unsigned vote by AmrasCalmacil — see rule 6.)

Opposition

Even though the image is large, I not comfortable with featuring a screenshot from a game with such primitive graphics. I'm not seeing any of this beauty you speak of. I'm sure that others won't either. I am also uncomfortable with us featuring an image portraying a statue of a goddess that isn't even confirmed to exist in the "The Legend of Zelda universe." So I'm saying no. Emma^(Talk) 20:33, June 24, 2008 (UTC)
I'd been meaning to voice my opinion on this for a while. Don't get me wrong, I really like the image (I did upload it after all!). However, it's not actually an official image. As you'll see from the source link I added to the image page, it's from a fan-made high-res texture mod. In the light of the recent conflagratory mega-debate over fan-made content, I'm not about to base my objection solely on this fact. My problem is that the image is misleading; the actual in-game visual is more like this. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 15:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
I've also missed that in my first play through as well. The only problem with the picture is that it has been edited with federilli's (excuse me if I'm spelling this wrong) high resolution texture pack. Therefore it's treated as fan art and, as Adam has said, can be misleading.— S t e v e

Good! This is an excellent picture that shows Link's aspect in almost all of its games. It looks interesting and deserves the place. Molgeratwinmold55 13:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

It’s a good picture, but I personally don’t think fan art should be used for the main page image. --Paulreilly86 14:11, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, Sea, but I've gotta oppose this. It's kind of neat to see the "progression" of Link, so to speak, but the picture itself isn't very cool-looking. Just a few pictures of Link pasted together. Kind of boring if you ask me. —Ando (talk) 15:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
As Ando said: "Sorry, Sea". I have to oppose this too. It is a neat image in that it compares the differences of Link in the games. But a collage of images isn't exactly outstanding. It isn't what we are looking for in a featured picture.Emma^(Talk) 16:10, July 6, 2008 (UTC)

I'd also like to see this one featured. Fairly large, high quality, and we need at least one featured picture of Ganon.--Rdnckj258 14:13, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I prefer this picture compared to the other one and since no-one's voted on either for a while. . . --AmrasCalmacil 11:04, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I really don't like how Gannon hands look that is my only fault with this picture but it puts me off the rest of it.Garadex 11:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

This picture was taken from The Minish Cap. The picture shows Link battling against a Darknut in Dark Hyrule Castle. I chose this picture because I like to fight against Darknuts because they look cool! --Draonjioel 20:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Invalid nomination. Already failed just a few months ago (see above) —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 17:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Since we are going for more of the out-of-the-ordinary featured images. I thought I'd nominate this one. It is a very large and detailed image of the Master Sword from A Link to the Past. This image is very beautiful and is quite breath-taking. It is a great image. It deserves to be featured.Emma^(Talk) 22:59, August 16, 2008 (UTC)

I think it is a beautiful picture, The Master Sword is something that draws my interest, it should be featured.-The Sage of Cosmos

Opposition

I'm afraid that I have to oppose this one. We have already Featured both the Master Sword article, and an image featuring the sword prominently. Adding this one would, in my view, put too much emphasis one one subject. I don't think we can really justify featuring an article and picture of the same subject under any circumstance. I would suggest that this image be used to replace the current one shown Template:FA/33

File:TWW Empty Bottle Artwork.png

Yes, it's simple. That's why I like it. It's also highly representative of the artistic style of The Wind Waker, as well as featuring one of the most sought after and valuable items in the Zelda series. Let's feature something a little unusual! (P.S. Thanks to Steven for the great render ;) —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 11:42, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree. Wind Waker does have great artwork. I love it. And bottles are a neccesity. I do like Twilight Princess and have never played Phantom Hourglass. But this bottle looks cool.CoreyPotter 00:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)CoreyPotter
Well.. yeah... it is a simple but beautiful image and i like it.Olle93 22:54, 11 August 2008

Opposition

While it is a high quality picture, I find that it is too boring to be featured. Other people would laugh when they saw that we featured an empty bottle.--Article and Picture Voter 20:04, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
For the above reasons exactly. It's high quality, large, and representative of WW's style, but it's so simple that it's boring. When I think of a featured picture, I think of something that's interesting and captures the essence of a moment, like a big, scary boss that's screaming its head off. So, for me, it's a no.--Rdnckj258 18:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
It's very high quality. It show's wind waker's cartoon touch, but it's just to boring. --Link hero of light 17:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

This picture failed before, but only because it is a spoiler. I think that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been out long enough and most people have unlocked Toon Link by now.--Link hero of light 21:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I have to oppose this again. Like I said last time, I find this picture very plain... --Felicia's Champion 09:07, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
There's already a picture of him in the featured image "Link's Piggy Pals". I don't exactly think we need another one. —S e a b l u e 00:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Didn't we already feature a picture of Shiek that was almost exactly the same as this? It would just seem repetative.--Corey Lord of Tacos! 13:38, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

In the interest of having at least something available to be voted on, I'm gonna suggest this image. To me, it's a visually interesting and dramatic composition that nicely shows off the graphical aspects of Twilight. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 17:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I love it. It shows twilight princess' dark side.--Link hero of light 19:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

It's a very good picture, showing one of the many faces of Twilight Princess. As said above, it's a very dramatic scene and worthy of being featured. --Emeryn 18:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

It's a screenshot... and not even a good/rare/interesting one. It isn't featured on a page, not even a gallery or a user page, so that defeats the purpose of even having it here if you ask me. --Douken 18:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

As much as it is rare and interesting, it's also small and fairly low resolution.--Rdnckj258 18:45, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
It's a little blurry too. There are several shots of "Beta TP" like this, so it would seem odd to just feature one anyway. --Douken 20:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it is interesting. But look at our previous featured images. Now look at this one. There is no comparison. The quality of this is image is far too poor to ever be featured. The quality is so bad, that I highly doubt that either Steven or myself could improve the quality of this image to acceptable levels. This image also was not given a source.Emma^(Talk) 00:55, October 3, 2008 (UTC)

This is the miniboss Death Sword. This a great image, made transparent by Steven. Awesome work. Much easier to see than the old version that is currently featured.Emma^(Talk) 01:12, October 3, 2008 (UTC)

Important Notice:

This nomination is an experiment in a new policy. It is intended as a replacement for the existing image Deathhh.jpg. If this image is voted in, the old one will automatically be disqualified and the new one will replace it on every single page that the old one was on, save for this one.

ALSO NOTE:
The subject of this image is black. The old background is black. This image has NO BACKGROUND!!!!!!!. It is transparent. The page background is normal blue. So in no way is this harder to see than the old one. It is a physical impossibility. The contrast is greater for the new one. The ease of seeing it is due to contrast.
To clarify this, go Death Sword Render.png here.

You can't see it as good without the background.--Article and Picture Voter 01:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
The background on the old picture was half the reason I liked the old picture. With this one, half the reason I liked it is gone. That's why my vote is here, and not in "support". --Felicia's Champion 09:24, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
a trasparent charater on no background is inpossible to see.Dragonstetraforce 20:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
It just isn't the same without the background. Also, it is very hard to see and a featured picture should be easy to see.--Link hero of light 18:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I have to say, regardless of issues such as clarity or contrast, my problem with the new image is the lack of background. Yes, it was fairly plain, but it wasn't just black. See the purple bit? That cleverly adds both interest and atmosphere to an otherwise slightly plain image. As a (slightly exaggerated) analogy, imagine a film such as The Matrix, shot almost entirely against green-screen. Should they have released that film with just the actors jumping around in front of a green backdrop, instead of adding the CG environments? —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 05:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
To me, the background of the old version and the bluish glow added to some of the spookyness that Death Sword has.--bolter1

A very interesting nomination! I have to agree, I would like to see this featured. Thus far, we have no pictures depicting Deku Scrubs primarially, and the only picture that does feature one is Deku Link, hiding in the background for the MM picture.

I don't really see what is so impressive about this image. It is rather bland and not particularly interesting. It doesn't really stand out among the vast number of images on this site. It is no more interesting than most others. Too simple to be featured.Emma^(Talk) 03:17, September 27, 2008 (UTC)
This picture does show anything particuarly interesting. It does not show you you something important. The image leaves something to be desired, and is also simple to the point where the larger portion of the pictures on this web address are more interesting. the flaws are too great for it to be featured.Kingbulbin 11:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
I find this picture to be very bland. Its color is not good. It shouldnt be featured--HeroOfTime6 13:28, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

There is only one other image of Link's Awakening featured. That one is small and doesn't actually have a moment from the game. This one does. It is of Link struggling to keep his boat afloat as seen in the game's opening. This image came from the Nintendo Guide for the game. It was monochrome, except for the lamp glow. I colored it based on the colors of those objects in the game. It took a lot of work to fix up this image. It looks good and it was worked into the Link's Awakening page very well. There is a lot of drama in the image. Good to feature.Emma^(Talk) 07:28, October 19, 2008 (UTC)

. I would support this because it's interesting, nice colors, lot of drama. It's unique because of the action being portrayed, a good image. Aye, I'm in favorThe Sage of Cosmos 13:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm supporting this. You can really tell that a lot of work has gone into this picture. --HylianWannabe 13:01, 7 November 2008(UTC)
I want this picture to be featured because its very unique, and because we dont have alot of art like this featured. Its a very good and well done picture and deserves to be featured. --Kresh64 21:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
This picture's great. Link's struggle, trying to hang on for dear life really sets the mood for not only the picture, but the whole game as well. I also agree with Kresh, we definitely need some more official artwork.— S t e v e 19:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You can barely tell that it's Link on the boat and it's too difficult to tell what going on. Makes me dizy.--Article and Picture Voter 01:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Though I sympathize with the effort, I don't believe this should be featured. (A) When zooming in, parts of it are actually very blurry--especially around Link and parts of the waves, (B) frankly I just don't find it that well-drawn, especially compared with other official Zelda art, (C) least important of my reasons: though it was just the coloring, this is inevitably makes me think "fanart", which drives me away from it being featured. --Douken 05:14, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd just like to point out that complaining about a thumbnail is not a good thing to do. It says nothing about the image. If any other two people agree with me we'll cancel out these votes.Emma^(Talk) 19:56, November 7, 2008 (UTC)
- Remember, you're voting on the image, not the image's thumbnail! ;) —Ando (talk) 21:20, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
You seem to have this thing where when somebody votes against something you have nominated or support, those votes are invalid. HeroOfTime6 said that the picture is not interesting and he couldn't really make out what is is. I don't see how that vote could be invalid. Also, HeroOfTheWinds10 opposed not only because of thumbnail, he also said it was not interesting. Both those votes seem valid to me.--Link hero of light 00:00, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't believe anyone said that the said votes were invalid. But you can't judge from just looking at the thumbnail. I actually thought the image was interesting.The Sage of Cosmos 00:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- That is a coincidence. They voted on the thumbnail not the image. That makes them invalid. End of story. (The image was displayed a lot smaller than this when they voted.)Emma^(Talk) 00:10, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
  - On a side note, those other votes WERE invalid. I would have done the same thing regardless of whether or not I supported the image. We just didn't have this process of invalidating them yet.Emma^(Talk) 00:14, November 8, 2008 (UTC)

Matt, you don't seem to get what I'm trying to tell you, the thumbnai wasn't the only thing HeroOfTheWinds10 voted on. And HeroOfTime6 didn't mention anything about the size. However the picture is quite interesting, if it wasn't so topsy-turvey it would have my vote.--Link hero of light 00:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

"when i look at it i can't make out what it is" He can't make it out because it was a small thumbnail. The votes are invalid. It was a beginner's mistake. Also, if they can't make out the thumbnail, then of course they won't think that it is interesting. The two go together. Let me remind you that Ando and I are in agreement on this issue. He's away at the moment. But he'll be back in a few hours.Emma^(Talk) 00:25, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
You know what, we could just go back and forth, both of have said our parts and now it's up for a sysop to decide. When Ando get's back he can decide whether those vote are invalid or not. If he says they are, I'll admit defeat in this debate.--Link hero of light 00:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I understand now. I believe I misunderstood along the line here. From reading the above comments, I'm gonna have to agree with Ando and Matt on this. Add to the record you have third party joining your agrement ;) The Sage of Cosmos 01:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Okay then. But we'll still wait for Ando. He and I need to discuss how to go about this.Emma^(Talk) 01:38, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
"He and you"? Don't you mean Ando, Matt and LHOL need to discuss how to go about it :P.--Link hero of light 01:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Not this case. I mean we have to talk of the mechanics of how this process is going to work now and in every future case. This matter is already decided so Ando and I don't have to talk about that part. Basically I'm thinking that we need a template and update the rule listing above. This whole process was already agreed upon. We just have to work out how to do it.Emma^(Talk) 01:59, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
Did you call Ando or E-mail him? I figured you must have some means of comunnication with him since you knew he was going to be gone.--Link hero of light 04:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- One, check this, LHOL. Two, if they find the image uninteresting, well, that's their opinion, and given that featured picture nominees are decided almost solely on personal preference of the image, that's okay. However, saying "I can't make out what this is unless I look at it in full view" isn't right: you're voting on the image, not on the thumbnail. If you don't like the full image, that's fine! You're entitled to that opinion. But stating that you don't like the thumbnail is not a valid reason to oppose the image's nomination. —Ando (talk) 04:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I know that it was a beginner's mistake to complain about the thumbnail. But I did also mention that I was not very interested in the picture.--HeroOfTheWinds10 21:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Noted, but we have had a consensus of three. The vote is out. Sorry. The point is that you've learned from your mistake.Emma^(Talk) 21:34, November 14, 2008 (UTC)

Oh...I was just kidding. But in all seriousness i just don't care for the image.--HeroOfTime6 01:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Can we really count the third vote? Monocrome? No one would ever let a monocrome one be featured. Besides the original version from the book wasn't monocrome. Also, not showing Link's face because his face is pretty? I didn't draw this! We'd never let fan art be featured. This isn't a matter of whether Link's face is pretty or not! I think that this vote should be nullified too.Emma^(Talk) 21:34, November 14, 2008 (UTC)
Get rid of that Links face is pretty vote thats just crazy, it makes us look unprofessional.--HeroOfTime6 22:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

This is getting old. Anyone who has actually played the games can tell it is Link. It is a wave: a six year old could tell you that. The Article and Picture Voter one has to go too.Emma^(Talk) 01:54, November 16, 2008 (UTC)
- Plus I think that Article and Picture Voter's policy of jumping on the wiki just to vote is abuse of a Zelda Wiki account. If it were only up to me, (s)he would be blocked indefinitely from editing.Emma^(Talk) 02:06, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me that some people have been pretty thick in making sure that this image is disqualified. We have reasons like: "I can't see Link's face, and his face is pretty" "It makes me seasick." What the....heck.....is this? I realize everyone has to have an opinion, else the world would be a sad place, but this is ridiculous. I can see the image crystal clear. There is nothing that I'm unsure of. Mandi ^Talk 03:03, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Fortunately, it is not up to you to decide. My little sister is too young to make any real edits so I thought see could just vote. Also, if you had looked through her contributions, you would have seen that voting is not the only thing she had done. I thought/hoped you were done accusing people's opposing votes. Apparently, I was wrong :(.--Link hero of light 02:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

The world isn't fair. Sadly, if she can't do anything but vote, then she'll have to wait until she can do other things. Because voting on things is not what this Wiki is about. It is about trying to contain all the knowledge in the Zelda universe. Featured articles and pictures are a way to motivate improvement. So unless the person is making valid edits, they should not vote. Because only people that know the ins and outs of the wiki can know what is truly acceptable. It is that simple. We are not voting on how we'd feel in the situation that the pictures depict. Even though you're most likely telling the truth, we technically have no proof that it is your sister and not you. That is why it is best not to run two accounts from the same household. If you guys did that on Wikipedia, you'd likely be blocked right off. There is a reason that many countries have a minimum voting age. We also cannot be sure if you are not influencing her votes. I can't make exceptions. That's the way the world works.Emma^(Talk) 03:14, November 16, 2008 (UTC)
- We're going to set up guidelines for voting. From what we have so far, this would fall under what isn't acceptable. So it wouldn't matter who's nomination it is. It could be against something I voted against. If someone votes like that, I still have to oppose it. It is that simple. I've told you that multiple times and you still can't understand that.Emma^(Talk) 03:17, November 16, 2008 (UTC)
  - I'm also afraid that three main namespace edits doesn't really count for doing something other than voting.Emma^(Talk) 03:25, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

- Edit conflicts combined with "Internet explorer cannot display the webpage" WOO HOO! Fun times!! But, that's nobodys fault so I'll shut up :P Guidelines, yes! We need them, that is the only way we will get anythin accomplished in a case like this. Mandi ^Talk 03:39, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You're exactly right, the world isn't fair. So why don't you stop trying to make people's votes invalid. However, if no one agrees with me, I'm willing to make a compromise. My sister can vote on my account, we can take turns each month. Considering I'm coming out worse on this compromise, you should be happy.--Link hero of light 05:08, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I won't stop. They are invalid. It is that simple. I don't want to have to say this again: It doesn't matter who's nomination it is or how I feel about it. If the votes are irrational or are not about the quality of the image or article itself, we will invalidate them. Once the guidelines are up, there will be no more arguing on that point.Emma^(Talk) 05:14, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

But it was about the quality of the image. "You can barely tell that it's Link on the boat and it's too difficult to tell what going on.". If that isn't complaining about the quality of the image than what is? Please tell me exactly what it is.--Link hero of light 05:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

For now it's just my opinion. But don't worry. Once the guideline's are up, I'll stick by them. Even if I still think something is not right. This system now is shaky. So wait until then.Emma^(Talk) 05:41, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

And so will I. One thing I want to ask you is can you show me what the oringinal picture looked like?--Link hero of light 00:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

These votes are opinions of why people think pictures should or should not be featured. If your own opinion conflicts with the opinion of someone else... does that mean they're wrong? If someone feels strongly enough about a reason to deny an image to be featured they should at least be given a chance to have their votes counted. It isn't like people are trying to hurt the website by voting against an image. They are just trying to help it by giving a certain reason why they think it shouldn't be featured. (I understand that my vote was with good reason denied)--HeroOfTheWinds10 04:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

That is what the guidelines will be for. Right now it is basically hit-or-miss. So it'll be messy until then. Once they're up, things will be much better for everyone. And it will making voting easier too.Emma^(Talk) 04:38, November 17, 2008 (UTC)

Size is reason enough to not vote for it, but hardly justifiable to Oppose an image.

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.— S t e v e 20:31, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

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 The Legend of Zelda, and is of good quality and size. And the transparency job's not too bad, either.

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.

It's no secret that I'm deftly against editing images for the wiki beyond making them transparent, so that another resolute "no" from me. - Tony^{T S C} 20:45, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
I have to agree with Pakkun, here. The image is way too low-res for me to give my support. After all, it's supposed to be a game with HD visuals (that was the whole point of the demo), and a pixellated, low-res image is not a good way to depict that.User:Justin ZW/sig 21:20, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
I agree with everything else that's been said. The image is way too low res to pass as a featured image and it's also small and blurry. The colors blend In some areas, making the image look more like a gray splotch. I think that this image is a much better choice as a featured image featuring the same subject. —Darkness ^(Talk) 00:48, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Photo credits to Dany36. I thought this was great, considering that it is unedited, and of a high quality. It is also symbolic, in that this is the opening of a new Zelda era. Vote as you see fit. Ankazar 20:19, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

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)
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)
Yeah I agree that it's a bad idea to include beta and preview images; plenty of examples here of the kind of stuff that doesn't make it into final releases, so not the ideal thing to be featuring. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 14:24, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

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. —Darkness ^(Talk) 12:30, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

This image is amazing. It's not only very large and bright, but the colors are vibrant and soft. The realistic shading and reflection effects add to the image. The clouds look beautiful, and so do the detailed textures. You have to look at it in full resolution to see the detail put into the screenshot. There are a series of similar images that are all worthy of being featured, but this one is the best. —Darkness ^(Talk) 16:21, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

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)

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. ※Fizzle (talk) 18:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm with Fizzle on this one. I think I would personally prefer a high-resolution panoramic screenshot of the original TWW to this, anyway. — Hylian King ^[*] 22:41, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
I'd say news-worthy, but IMO not feature-worthy. Overall I think we'd be better off waiting until the game is released in a couple of months time, when I'm sure we can get some much more impressive in-game images. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 10:30, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

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. Dannyboy601^Talk 23:27, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
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)

This is an absolutely beautiful piece of artwork from the upcoming A Link Between Worlds. With it's vivid colors and peaceful, yet dramatic, depiction of Hyrule Castle I think that it's definitely feature worthy. Mandi ^Talk 05:40, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

I personally think this shows the contrast of the two world well. --Planetbox (talk) 17:45, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
It's definitely the art piece I think will stand out from the rest for this game, very visually pleasing. - Bwar (talk) 16:00, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
This artwork is not only a spectacular, high quality piece of art, but is also representative of the game's major themes and is therefore feature worthy in my opinion. --TheHK ^{(T) (C)} 03:00, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
I believe that this piece of artwork shows how Lorule is just a flip of how Hyrule is built up. --Infernap (talk) 13:28, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Beautiful artwork, emphasizing the dichotomy between Hyrule and Lorule. The color choices are excellent, too - the vibrant greens of Hyrule contrast well with the stagnant, dark purples and yellows of Lorule. wwtoonlinkfan (talk) 11:09, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
I really do love this picture. The reflection of Lorule really enforces the mood of the game. It still graces my desktop well. William (Talk) 19:55, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
