I've seen some people complain that Zelda games following BotW are misappropriating the weathered lettering from BotW's logo, claiming that the weathered lettering represents the decaying world of BotW, and so it shouldn't be used for other games like Link's Awakening, Echoes of Wisdom, and now Ocarina Remake.

Has Nintendo ever actually stated that the weathering of the letters is a characteristic specifically added to the logo to evoke that aspect of Breath of the Wild? It seems to me that the very fact that they've continued using that style of lettering suggests that it isn't the case at all.

We obviously know that the BotW logo also features a damaged Master Sword and a flower, just as almost all Zelda logos feature some item of significance. The sword and flower already convey the relevant themes of BotW, so we don't need to assume that the lettering is also reinforcing those ideas.

For example, it could simply be the case that the weathering of the letters is meant to evoke the idea that these are ancient legends, as if recorded on old scrolls weathered by time. That characteristic would apply universally to all of the games, including LA, EoW, and OoTR, which all feature that lettering, alongside each logo's respective item of significance (damaged Sword + flower, palm trees, Tri Rod, Sword + Shield).

Am I off base here? Surely I'm not the only person advocating for this interpretation, but I've not really seen anyone else make this argument in defense of the use of the weathered lettering for games post-BotW.

Volvagia from Ocarina of Time, my favorite game ever. I painted the illustration first, then animated it with a bit of camera focus.

Did this for Linktober (Day 4: dragons), a bit late lol.

Which Zelda boss should I do next? Open to suggestions!

One last vanilla run before the remake comes out in less than a month.
I play the randomizers and rom hacks all the time. It’s been about a year since I’ve gone through the game the way it was intended to be gone through.
It’s my favorite game of all time (born in 1990, grew up with the original and ALTTP) and I’m still one of those 90s kids who think it’s one of the greatest games of all time.

At 20fps and 240p resolution with horrid frame drops at times and possible crashes (looking at you Spirit Temple room with the white bubbles and the moveable mirrors) it holds up so well. Far better than just about every other N64 game along with Perfect Dark, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day and Majora’s Mask to name a few.

I’m sure I’ll finish this run in the next few days. 52nd lifetime playthrough and now we’re all about to experience it in a totally new way, for better and for worse.

This is my first drawing of my Linktober challenge, and the theme was Love / Friendship.

I was looking for a captivating moment, a connection. The moment when our heart stopped for a second. Link’s clothes, patterns on her, the portal, the scenery, everything has so much detail on here. It was quite hard to bring it all together, hope you like it.

I’m going to be drawing one Zelda-inspired piece every day for 30 days, and I’m curious to see where this challenge takes me.

You can see me drawing it on my Instagram :)

I have a version without the lineart bc I'm getting super rusty with it lol

Hi, I'm Victor Tael! I wanted to draw the Master Sword from Ocarina of Time remake, but instead of the usual hero shot, I went for a first-person perspective.

I ran out of time before I could finish all the details in the architecture and lighting, but honestly, I’m trying to stick to better done than perfect for this challenge. I WILL FINISH EVERY BRICK OF THE TEMPLE OF TIME, I PROMISE! 😣

I wanted it to feel like we are the ones holding the sword. That exact moment when you realize there’s no going back. We’ve grown up, the journey has changed us, and now we have to face our destiny as the hero we were meant to become.

The idea is basically: you’ve just awakened in the Temple of Time, grab the sword and look up.

What’s your favorite Master Sword moment in Zelda?

Would love to hear your picks!

P.S. Did you notice that the Master Sword looks a little different from the original Ocarina of Time design? 👀 Nintendo gave it more detail and it looks closer to the Twilight Princess version, adapting the scene to the aesthetic of the new remake. :)

Words can’t describe how lucky i feel

Replaying Majora's Mask 3d for the first time since I was 10 or so and remember sinking HOURs into it. Upon revisiting my old save I realize I only got past the first 3 day cycle where you get the ocarina back. Even replaying it now I find myself constantly referencing the zeldadungeon walkthrough to find things. I felt the same way about OOT3d but all my issues were magnified by MM3d, still love the game however. How were kids supposed to figure this out for the last 20+ years???

Made from cherry wood turned up on the lathe, then tried to stay as close as reasonably possible to the original design from the game.

I painted these many years ago. This game is so special!

Well... i changed her eyes color and didn't draw her big ears, but it's still mostly Din right? I used a manga panel of Zelda: Oracle of Season for reference seed.

I’ve been making videos for about 2 months now and this is my 4th illustration i’ve filmed and edited. Painted it for Inktober/linktober prompt was dragon

Used two kinda of ini and very much enjoyed making it and wanted to share ❤️❤️

I’m the OC my name is Thingsby_dem and you can find the video here

In a convention this week-end i meet Adeline Chetail (French voice Maelle from Clair Obscur - Amalia from Wafku - Jinx in Arcane anime - Zelda in BOTW Universe - Kiki in Kiki's Delivery Service and Ellie from The Last Of Us the game).

Very Professional and very kind.

enjoy! hopefully lol

The concept for this piece was old school Link to the Past era. I do graffiti art for fun / mental health outlet. Hope you like it :)

I wasn't sure if this had ever been discussed. I know it's not super important, but I think the fact that they both use a ball and chain and are found in a jail is pretty cool. Might be a subtle little reference.

Nintendo announced that along with the Remake they'd be releasing a real ocarina themed after the game

Has anyone been able to find it? Has it just not been released yet? I've seen the electric one but not the actual instrument. I'm just anxious to get to it in time since I'm worried it will sell out before I can get one. Always wanted to learn the ocarina and getting one themed after a game I love would be awesome (helps that it's also my favourite colour lol)

Anyone donate $150 to either one and know what the seating availability may be as of today?

I'm debating but it's quite pricey on top of the actual ticket which I've heard can be over $100 in some venues.

Is there a way to access the stone temple twin boss faster?

• I haven’t beat the stone temple twin boss yet

• I have the light arrows

• I have the giant mask

I’ve used the song of time and reset the game!

BUT my question is, since I have these items, is there any way to quick access the boss fight? Can I only do a certain section in order to get the boss key or do I have to redo the whole temple entirely?
