Description Overworld Enemy #8: Ghini

"The ghost who lives in the graveyard. There are two types. There are Ghinis who are there from the beginning of the game, and those who appear when Link touches the gravestones. Ghinis have about the same attacking force as Armos."

-The Legend of Zelda Manual

The Ghini are the undead souls of the cyclopic Armos warriors, slain either in battle or killed after being driven out of Hyrule, inhabiting the land's most ancient gravesites, most prevalently near Death Mountain. A multitude of these gravesites must be passed through in order to actually reach the upper levels of the famed mountain range and are considered by many to be its namesake. These ghosts are active during both night and day, but are more aggressive during the former, and despite being transparent, can inflict much physical damage. Each gravesite is controlled by a mastermind, and subduing it will drive the rest of the deathly horde away, granting temporary safe passage. Some say that if the evil Lord Ganon is slain and his powerful dark influence is eradicated, these warriors will finally be given the rest they've been longing for.Β

that gravestone is damn right even the new metroid looks like a halfhearted appeasement to the fans who have waited for years for something new.Β 

love the pic especially the lore you have given the Armos.

Though I haven't played Samus Returns yet, I've been watching my brother play it and he's already deemed it the worst of the 2d-perspective Metroid titles. I just think that after all this time, giving us a remake is pretty lame, especially when fans made a really good M2 remake shortly prior. It doesn't seem like they're actually willing to commit to a fully new Metroid title.Β 

Thanks a ton!

Beats the pants off the spooky sheet with eyes cut out they had in the game. Β I'd probably run away from this thing.

Ha, they did have one eye to set them apart a little, but yeah! Thanks as always!Β

Out of all your redux Zelda enemies, these are my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I loved your older designs, but you totally upped their horrifying potential Oddly thankful you're probably not going to do the Wind Waker enemies, heaven knows how twisted and horrifying you could make them to be (more so than they somewhat already are) ha ha ha XD

Nice! This is a super cool reimagining. Very eerie.

I like that you stick with the single eye too.

Thanks! This guy took a bit longer to figure out than the others, but finally landed on something I liked!Β

Ok, that is wonderful and I love the bit of lore you have to accompany. Β I have been working on similar kinds of story with my remake, using bits of OOTs creation and sage stories and other small things from other games in the Fallen Hero timeline. Β For the Armos, I was thinking of them as former Sheika Clockwork Nights, had not even thought about tying the Ghinis to them, not gotten that far with my enemies yet.

Again, I really love what you are doing with this series of illustrations.

Thanks a ton! Adding the lore has been a lot of fun! Thought that them both being cyclops made for a cool connection, plus the manual says they have about the same attacking power, so that was a nice coincidence!Β

I prefer Ghinis as zelda ghosts than the Poes from the news 3d zeldas...

Same! There's something interesting about a cyclopic ghost.

looks like a mixture between the cloverfield monster and something from subnautica

I like how the brain and lungs are visible in its otherwise transparent body, it gives it an otherworldly jellyfish vibe.

I take it the "mastermind" would have the visible organs, but only when Link came in close proximity (otherwise id be too easy to spot thus defeating the challenge) .
