Description One of my fondest Zelda memories is when my mom pulled me out of school the day Ocarina of Time was originally released just so I could spend the afternoon playing it. I even wore the pre-order t-shirt as I made my way through the Kokiri Forest for the first time.

Good times.

This is a print that made its debut at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011. The reaction was much more positive than I expected.

It's one of those works that I wasn't sure how things would turn out the whole time I worked on it. I actually spent time on two other versions of the print before settling on this one:



Hope you like it.

No problem, it makes me mad that so many artists are being stolen from. I hope you can sort everything out!

Fun fact: His name reflects whatever you called Link. I once named myself Master just to laugh at Ganondorf calling me that, and I noticed it said "Dark Master" XD (I think that was the first time I didn't name him Link, lol)

Awesome composition, love this

I know there's a 11*17" print... but is there anyway i could get a bigger one? honestly, i want this as a wall scroll....

thatLD In reply to haloid2010 [2012-12-08 06:52:42 +0000 UTC]

Hmm. A wall scroll would be nice, but I don't have the means to produce one at a reasonable price. That's the only thing that would keep me from offering that size.

God the memories of this game. I seriously think that if it wasn't for Ocarina of Time I wouldn't be the fantasy freak I am now. This is one of the best things I've ever seen on the internet, partially because it's flawless to my eyes and partially because it is so full of memories.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Glad to have a hand in bringing back good memories. This series was my gateway to fantasy, as well. Ocarina of Time being that crowning moment of glory.
