[Legend of Zelda]: 38 years and ongoing.
Happy 38th Anniversary to the game that started the legend - the original Legend of Zelda on the Famicom, released on 21 Feb 1986 [Japan release].
This started as a "quick sketch" to commemorate the release. But I got carried away with the finer details. Especially on the Famicom and NES consoles. I'm really happy with how they turned out.
Link's outfit is a updated version of my 80's fashion design from my old [Fashion Line Up] series for LinkedUniverse AU.

[Image Description: A predominately reddish and blue toned digital redrawing of a Legend of Zelda Concept Art but with designs from an au. The first image is a full image of the redraw, and the second is comparing the original art beside the redraw. In both, Link is hidden behind a broken pillar, and the only figure in full color. He is holding a bow in front of him, one hand ready on the string, looking over his shoulder. In the background, Ganon, a massive blue bipedal boar-like creature, marches past, looking towards the pillar. Ganon holds a weapon with one hand. In the redesign, Link has browner skin, black hair in twists, and looks closer to ten. His bow is almost as long as he is tall. Ganon has more boarish features and fur, and has a skull motif in his clothing. His eyes are red. End ID]
This old concept art is super cool and I figured I’d play with it for my version of NES Link (his design here). But baby edition.
Now w/ a Adventure of Link redraw companion

I’ve been sitting on this idea for months lol, I figured since in my original Zelda story the most recent turn of the cycle would be the events of the NES Zelda games I should straighten out the lore I want for that... which turned into semi-redesigning the two Princess Zeldas of those games, since the official art tends to use the same design for both of them... and THEN figuring out how I could incorporate some other, lesser-known designs from the early days!

My redesign for the NES Zelda! Included the ALttP version of the Hylian crest on her apron, rapier from the title screen and (my favourite) a nod to the fact that the colour of her dress corresponds to Link's tunic. Her title not-so-subtlely references the name of the series.
