For this project, I had to re-interpret the look/feel of a video game (The Ocarina of Time). I chose to retell and condense the story of how Link collects all three spiritual stones in the beginning of the game. This was the most fun I've ever had with linoleum cuts.
I love this. It's hard for me to make super cute things without them being cheesy (these AREN'T cheesy). These are not only cute but they have a sincerity to them as well. great job
ReplyDelete*thumbs up!* You should sell prints!
ReplyDeleteLove them. You really capture the spirit of it. Love the colours and designs. I'd buy a set
ReplyDeletethese are adorable
ReplyDeleteThese are so awesome! You got so much good detail in the prints too! I'm a big fan of this game, pretty much grew up with this one game. :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! They really capture the essence of the game in a new style.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Vikki!
ReplyDeletebest,
Sterling
i love ocarina of time. good job!!
ReplyDeleteYou really gave this great childhood game a lot of justice. Wow! Seriously, this (and the rest of your work here) is phenomenal. :D
ReplyDeleteKeep up the awesome work!
I'm in love with this, really, hope you don't mind me printing it and putting it together like a fairy tale that one day I will tell to my kids *_*
ReplyDeleteAre they actual hand-made prints? I'd definitely consider buying an actual hand made print.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, GREAT job. They really look incredible. (followed a link here from Kotaku).
I want to plagiarise this all over my little brothers bedroom wall :D
ReplyDeleteYes! Any way I can download hi-res versions of these for output? I have two small boys that would LOVE to have these hanging in their room! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteThese drawings are excellent, with a very quirky looking art style and all. Are there any plans to retell the second half of the game's story, the part with the sages and medallions? Because I'd love to see that.
ReplyDeletethese are awesome! I wish I had made them! <3
ReplyDeleteWhy does Link's sword have a blue hilt? At these points in the game he hasn't even found the master sword. He's still running around with the little Kokiri sword. And also, if he has the Hylian shield, he should only be able to duck with it, not actually hold it up and use it. Sry, Zelda purist here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteIf you look even closer you'll notice that Link is holding a blue ocarina in the Goron image, which I'm sure you know he shouldn't have yet. At this point in the game Link still only has Saria's ocarina.
Also, Link is wielding his sword with his right hand while fighting Gohma.
I'm sure you can find more inconsistencies if you keep looking!
This is awesome! It would be so cool to see this as a real children's book! My two-year-old son came running across the room to see them!
ReplyDeleteWow..just wow..I am speechless..I would love to see this as a real book..I would so buy it.
ReplyDeleteWhoa whoa whoa. Link can't acquire the Hylian Shield let alone wield it against Queen Gogoma.
ReplyDeleteThanks Miggz,
ReplyDeleteI addressed this in an earlier comment. In the game, Link also doesn't have the Ocarina of Time nor the master sword yet (which he does here). He also shouldn't be right-handed while fighting Gohma. I realize there are inconsistencies in these pieces. I also think the Hylian shield just looks cooler than the Deku shield would have.
that is simply amazing. i love linoleum cuts, although i don't love making them, and to use that for zelda is such a good idea. it really helps give it an old feel as though this happened ages ago. i've already set these as my desktop background.
ReplyDeleteThanks northernwarrior!
ReplyDeleteLinoleum cuts are great, but I also don't particularly like making them. I've had too many mishaps for that!
These are beautiful. I'd buy a couple if you sold them as prints fo sho
ReplyDeleteI found these in a roundabout way… Just wanted to comment, they are beautifully done. Ocarina of Time is one of my all-time favorite games, and the one which launched me deeper into the series when I was young. You did it justice. :)
