If you don't get to play as Zelda, I at least hope she plays a huge role in the story. Her getting spirited away by Ganon again would be so boring - especially since they've been portraying her as a more adventurous version of Zelda.

I don't get that. She was pretty much the protagonist in BOTW with the flashbacks flashing out her character and at the end as well, even if Link was playable. One of her best representations.


Thanks for showing that! I lost this fanart from my PC a year ago.

A studio Ghibli movie is just begging to be made with this design. It's so adorable it's not even funny

This one is really lovely. I sincerely hope Nintendo goes all in with Zelda x Link (sorry, I am just a sucker for romance, hahah, and they look adorable together) in the 2nd game.
Funny enough they were supposed to do that with the Zelda x Link couple from Skyward Sword. But I honestly never really got enamored with their relationship as I did with the BotW couple. For some reason I feel more chemistry between the current couple than I did with the SS ones.

I really like this! Gives me some great impressionist feels
One of the best in the thread so far.
Excellent! This game is going to bring out a lot more artistic creativity from fans if this first trailer is anything to go by.

Guess I'll finish it dang LOL

I'll try to keep it loose, I might ruin the feel if I go for too much polish

Such amazing artwork! Please Nintendo... my 7 year old daughter asks me all the time why she can't be Zelda in BOTW.

Please!

Man people are good at drawing.


Really hope you can play as her in the sequel. And not just in coop.

Zelda fandom may only be second to the Pokemon fandom in terms of producing amazing artwork so quickly

So, are BotW Link and Zelda fixed to become the most popular versions of these characters, if they aren't already? I think making a direct sequel is only going to make people fall in love with them and their dynamic even more.

I don't really like the ones with the sword. Zelda is a princess and untrained as royalty is not meant to fight at the front lines. You don't need to make her a melee character to make her strong. She's an intelligent ruler, her triforce is wisdom, and she has very capable magic. That role suits her well, let her be the mage she is. She doesn't need to be a female Link to be a strong character, she already is a strong character on her own.

Zelda has been a ninja and a pirate captain and a haunted suit of giant armor

To hell with these ideas that princesses just read poetry and have magical glowing pendants and that's it.
