100-page Zelda art book scans are sure to get you excited photo

Oh, hey! Man, this is embarrassing. You catching me without my pants on as I look at these scans of a 100-page Zelda art book that was recently bundled with the February 2010 issue of the Japanese gaming magazine Nintendo Dream. See I spilled on my pants and had to take them off, it's not that this art book is so cool that I become sexually aroused. Not. At. All.

The art runs the gamut of Zelda games, from the very beginning all the way up to the one piece of art they've shown us for the next Zelda. It really gives you an idea of how Link, Zelda and Gannondorf have evolved over the years. I'm a bit upset that they gloss so easily over the early games, but I guess they didn't do quite as much artwork for them in the first place.

Now go away. It's Matt time.

I've just realized that none of the Ocarina's artwork is new for me and yet every single game there I found something new in the artwork for me.


P.S: I'm fapping to this link right now. =)

I saw all the Ocarina artwork in the original Japanese on some japmag scan leak site back in the dark dial up internets. None of it was new for me either.

I like the Minish Cap artwork the best.

Spoiler: You can't open the last fifty pages until you've unlocked the Power Gloves after returning to the first fifty pages in the apocalyptic future.

Second Spoiler: The last fifty pages are all erotic images of Tingle.

Damn, considering all the Windwaker fanart I had done years ago, having access to a resource like this would've been really helpful...

But seriously, the WW section alone got me.

Love the WindWaker section. That thick sketchy outline looks great.

Thanks for the link. Time to spread the love.

The Majora's Mask stuff took me back. Also, I know it's the unpopular stance, but my favorite style is Twilight Princess'. It's just so evocative of that whole ancient fairy-tale vibe that Zelda gives off (for me anyway).

Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage blogger to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.

Thanks for sharing! Zelda has been a long time favorite of mine since I was a kid. I'm surprised this idea hasn't come sooner!
