Description Shortly after finishing "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker," I decided to do a fan piece based on the Zelda characters. I had actually been contemplating a Zelda piece ever since I played "Ocarina of Time" back in 1999, but never quite finished a piece that I was happy with. The only part of this piece that I am still completely satisfied with is Ganondorf and his coloring. I can see needed improvements on the line art of both Zelda and Link, and I really wish I had done more with the background.

I like the way this looks. D: And Ganondorf looks particularly awesome.

Link's head is too small, and Zelda looks too old.

Otherwise, excellent job.l

Oh, HELL yes!! Awesome pic, me likey very much!!!

Just one piece of constructive criticism. I think Link's face looks a little....off. IMO, it would look much better with these 2 small changes:
1) Make his nose a tad wider.
2) Don't have his eyes open so wide. I know you intended to make him look really pissed off / determined, but he ended up looking more surprised than angry.

Thank you very much for the constructive critism. Not that i don't like some of the praise you sometimes get here, but sometimes it can get to your head that there's nothing wrong with your drawing

Like I said in the info... other than Ganon, there's very litte about this pick that I am entirely pleased with, and you hit the nail on the head with Link's face. It's bugged me for some time. I get into a rush to ink things even if I don't perfect the pencils enough, (a habit which I am trying to break), and I am often times stuck with areas of a drawing in which I am unhappy with.

I do think that the eyes need some help. I've never likes those. And I think he just needs an entire nose job. He needs some Nip/Tuck action or something.

Anyways, thanks for the comments again-- they are much appreciated.

No problem. As I said, most of the pic looks simply outstanding! The details, man, the DETAILS!! I mean, you even got the curly-cues (sp?) on Zelda's shoulder plates!! Most impressive, yes yes. Obi-Wan has taught you well

I love the image on it's own, but the fact that it comes from OOT makes it even better.
