Hi guys! I know, I know, long time no update… Again. As usual, busy busy busy. But I just had to post this, because I feel this project needs more exposure as it’s so awesome. I came across this project, named The Zelda Project by *Adella on deviantART (an excellent and stunning cosplayer herself!) and I think it’s simply amazing.

The Zelda Project is a Los Angeles, CA based group of friends who seek to bring to life the characters, settings, and overall feel of Ocarina of Time through photography and film. Our ultimate goal is to create the characters as they would appear in reality to the best of our abilities, placing them in beautiful sceneries true to their Hyrulean counterparts, and creating elaborate photosets, as well as a film short (coming once the cosplay segment of the project is completed!).

Now, I’m no big fan of cosplay because I feel that if you’re gonna dress up as a character, you gotta put some effort into the whole package and not just the outfit. Not many cosplayers pull that off sadly… A good cosplay in my opinion, is one where the person cosplaying looks very close to the original character. And this project downright nailed it. Take a look:

Not only do the shots capture the mood perfectly, but the cosplayers actually make it look like IRL Zelda. And that’s about the biggest compliment I can give about cosplay! So, if you have a dA account, be sure to subscribe and favorite their work :) Or visit their website and see what’s coming next!

Can someone say FINALLY? Oy, after 6 months(!) I made a new wallpaper for you guys. And this isn’t some wallpaper – it’s a Skyward Sword wallpaper!! Ofcourse I saw Nintendo’s conference live yesterday as I do every year, and as it started off with a demonstration of the newest Legend of Zelda I just couldn’t wait to make a wallpaper for it. And here it is!

What I think of Skyward Sword? Well, for starters I have trouble remembering the name… But generally I think it looks pretty cool. I kinda like the “painted” look, it’s like a mixture of Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker :) What I didn’t like? The amount of movement that’s necessary to control Link seems like you have to stand up in order to play… I don’t know about you, but I prefer to kick back on the couch while playing Zelda, and not stand up. Especially since Zelda isn’t much of a pick-up-and-play type of game, so I figure standing up all the time can become quite tiresome. But I’ll wait and see how it works out :) I’m still excited for it!

…and I’m not really back from hiatus, sorry! Just posting to let you know I’m still alive and all :) So E3 is coming up next week and Zelda Wii has officially been confirmed for presentation, yay! Which means there’s a nice presskit waiting with some cool concept art, ready to be made into wallpapers ;)

As I mentioned on Twitter, I’m planning on making some new wallpapers, maybe a new design even. I can’t say when all that will be finished though, as I’m quite busy working and inspiration has to hit me ofcourse! Hopefully if all goes well I should be giving you plenty of new stuff this summer. Keep an eye out!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I started working as a intern for 40 hours a week 5 weeks ago so I have little time to sit down and make a nice wallpaper for you guys :( As this internship lasts for another 4 months or so, I’m gonna have to put making any new wallpapers on hold for a while… So consider this a hiatus. I’ll try to make something when I get time but I can’t guarantee anything.
