Description Firstly I would like to apologize for this half a year of inactivity... I don't have any excuse for it.

Secondly I would like to say that Karma has already paid back, since the few improvements I did with digital coloring are somehow disappeared... so i guess everything went around and came back, or something like that.

Anyhow I would like to introduce my own portrait of the not yet announced upcoming game of the Legend of the Zelda franchise for the Wii U. As usual, nobody knows a damn thing about it yet, not even if it will be announced at the E3 this month or not. We'll know the moment Shigeru Miyamoto will jump in during some presentation wielding a  Hylian shield and sword. I just hope it won't be something like Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword.

What I wish it'd be, as far as gameplay and design, is a nicely done melt of Ocarina of time, Majora's Mask and, why not, Wind Waker.

 In this image I wanted to portrait Link in a crowded Bazaar, somewhere in the land of Hyrule. In order to strengthen the feeling of  a busy place, I've decided to put many races of the Zelda universe: (from left) Poecollector, Goron, Tokay, Subrosian and a my own version of an Oocca.
I have always loved the multitude of fantasy races in the Zelda universe and I would love to see more of them too... that's something I miss from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

 Also, in the last few months, I've been curious to know why, in most fantasy games, the use of the javelin is inexistent!? I really don't understand! According to the majority of historical accounts and the books about strategy, the use of throwing spear was a MUST in ancient warfare, and was fundamental all throughout early medieval times! Soldiers were supposed to bring 2 or even 3 throwing spears in battle!

So in order to fix this "little" gaming world oversight, in my Zelda game Link has his own JAVELIN! Not only that, I also gave him a  "Hoplyte" style round shield.
Furthermore I wanted to introduce the "Hexaforce", which is drawn on the central flag on top. I loved that Majora's Mask had its own lore that was independent from the main Zelda universe, so maybe playing a little  with different concepts for the triforce would be very interesting.

I just hope this next Zelda title will be worthy of its name, because I am not sure this time I will buy a Nintendo console.
