New exclusive wallpaper: Leaving Skyloft

In light of the upcoming release of Skyward Sword, and ofcourse, because a new exclusive wallpaper was waaayyy overdue, I thought it was time for a new wallpaper. This one’s been sitting in its PSD for quite a while (like many others*), unfinished. Today I managed to add what I felt was missing and uploaded it for you guys to download. Enjoy this new exclusive!

* No, I haven’t forgotten about the requests ;) Please be patient ♥

Skyward Sword & Ocarina of Time(3D) officials

E3 flew by again and ofcourse E3 means (besides the conferences and announcements): presskits! This year’s contains some new stuff, of which I could make new official wallpapers. Check out each new Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time and Ocarina of Time 3D officials!

Note: Ofcourse some artwork was released for Ocarina of Time 3D, but as most of it is in fact re-released old artwork I list them under the original Ocarina of Time category. Only the new OoT3D artwork will be in its own category.

Updated officials

New and (very much) improved: two official Ocarina of Time wallpapers! Due to the upcoming launch of Ocarina of Time 3DS, hi-res versions of the 13-year old game’s artwork have surfaced. Being the Zelda artwork hoarder that I am¹, I ofcourse grabbed ‘em and updated this and this wallpaper featured here on Twilight Realm right away. Because the -ever so gorgeous- artwork is so large, I added a bunch of high resolution versions and even HD size: Wallpapers now go up to 1920×1200! You can’t get ‘em in better quality than this! Enjoy :)

Edit 04/17: Even more re-released artwork popped up and that, ofcourse, means two more updated wallpapers! Plus four new ones, all in über high quality and HD. Check ‘em out over here!

Link – Ocarina of Time

Another 6+ months flew by without a new wallpaper… It was about time I made a new one :) With all the news, videos, screenshots and impressions of Ocarina of Time 3DS, I thought it’d be fitting to make an OoT wallpaper! Luckily adult Link was requested, so here it is :)

Took some doing to increase the quality of the image of Link, as it’s old and pretty grainy. So besides the standard procedure, I fixed the shading, desaturated the colors and smoothed out the lines a bit just to make it a little less “cartoony”. I’m quite happy with the result, I must say! I hope you do too, enjoy!

It’s here!!

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!
