- Dohko_Xar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28Zelda is not an rpg god damnit, its an adventure game!
- joehobbes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Personally, I like both from an artistic standpoint for different reasons.
I wouldn't want to get rid of either. I just think it's cool seeing different interpretations of the same world - edcrosay, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Did you forget what site you were on?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Excellent variety in styles. It's hard to pick a favorite, but "A Hero's Right To Dream" (fourth one down) is a cool concept
- Ike0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6That stuff is really impressive. Makes me even more sure that Zelda is the best video game series ever.
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5by defining a role playing game as a game where you solely take the role of another character, that would make almost every game a role playing game. in the mario games you assume the role of mario (or luigi, toad, peach, etc.), yet aside from mario rpg, mario isn't a role playing game.
- KingGorilla, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I like the ones done in the artists own style
- nurvus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5RPG is defined as a game in which players assume the roles of characters and act out fantastical adventures, the outcomes of which are partially determined by chance, as by the roll of dice.
Technically you're both right, but most true role playing games are turn based; Zelda isn't. I've always seen Zelda listed under action. - walkingdogs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Wish the originals on flicker were of a higher resolution so that they could nicely be used as desktop backgrounds but other than that there are some very talented artists out there.
- sethisastud, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Wow this is nerdy.
- joehobbes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Hit the Deviant Art links below each one. Those will usually give a higher resolution.
- AZooYorkMystery, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I.. uh, I think this is the best thing I've ever dugg.
- ScoobyG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What's your problem?
- joehobbes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The site is working fine....
- Perfectsound, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Needs for boobs.
- fatadamblog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2RPG games have leveling up and character development such as stats. Adventure games have none of this but are just as good if not better if you couldn't be ***** worrying about that sort of thing.
- TheGuy20, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Mine was "Link and Gohma" and "Friendship"
- TheGuy20, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This is a great collection of Zelda artwork. The best part is that all of the art contains the original link, title and author credits, giving the artists the credit they deserve.
- contradictator, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ok, so where's the better stuff then?
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2something about "zelda collab" strikes a very deep, resonating chord with me.
- zensequential, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I wonder if this is coming from the same artist(s) that did the Samus collection that was digged a while back....
- Halokhan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The action scenes are cool, but I like the more emotional ones. My favorite has to be "Tell Me the Story", I always wanted Link to hook up with the Princess.
- espire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It will cost you 1gp.
- Nn010385, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It really baffles me how many times people make this mistake.
- SeriouslyButNo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I like both styles.
- RadiatedAnt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1but you role play as link! someone explain!
- Romanito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You can make your own selection and find some neat artwork that's not on the list.
What I mean is there isn't a lot of work behind this list and it can be considered as blogspam. Look at all these ads. - Nn010385, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1By that logic, Halo is an RPG because you role-play as Master Chief.
- blackshadow42, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Those are just beautiful pieces.
- ps3udov3ctor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1wtf? no hentai of princess zelda?
- nonokiaboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Does anyone have mirrors?
- joehobbes, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I think there's more to it than that...
Here's your advise:
http://search.deviantart.com/?section=browse&qh=bo ...
Most of those are cheesy fan art. - Romanito, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It's a good list but they all come from deviantART, so it's hardly a collection.
One might as well search for "zelda" on deviantART and sort by popularity (which is the default).
You can even try with anything else, this site is full of fan art. - kruzztee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Great artwork!!!
- elvisbrevi, on 03/13/2009, -0/+0cool
- zomgwaffles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0yea thanks a lot guy, now i came in my pants and they are ruined, its impossible to get protein stains like these out
- heartcoldfusion, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3I'm with you navster. I think that the cel-shading is perfect for Zelda, especially since most of it's hardcore players were kids when they first played it. It seems like the Zelda games are more of an 11 year old boy's adventure than a 17 year old boy's.
- crossers, on 07/14/2008, -0/+0 Especially I liked the Wind Waker inspired pieces.

http://www.pmidsig.org - notouch, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2While most of them are excellent works, there are a few that won't even meet average art standard, and calling those "most stunning" is a bit insulting to the rest of zelda fan art out there.
- Acglaphotis, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Go kill yourself, please.
- Acglaphotis, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1O RLY?
- MewtwoReturns, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Buried for lack of Zelda porn.
- navster15, on 10/10/2007, -8/+7Kick ass. I especially liked the Wind Waker inspired pieces. Is it just me that prefers the Wind Waker art style to the Twilight Princess art style? The whole mature theme of Twilight Princess felt a little like generic LotR inspired fantasy.
- Acglaphotis, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1In more simple terms.
if turn-based:
game = rpg
else:
game != rpg - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+3zelda's not naked.
buried. - Acglaphotis, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1In more simple terms.

{ - RadiatedAnt, on 10/10/2007, -10/+4Zelda is the best rpg ever.
- Quintox, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3very cool
- Gezora, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1you have got to be kidding me.
buried. - D4N747, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2I want to say "tasteless and pathetic," but I know that the other 1000+ digger will disagree.
