Heh. This was a big undertaking that we've been playing close to the chest, Zelda! And also Zelda, Zelda, Zelda, Tetra, Zelda, and even Zelda! Yeah, this was a fun one, trying out the different styles and trying to fit in as many Zelda variants as we could, down to the background being based on the room the Zelda 2 incarnation is sleeping in. Tried to be pretty comprehensive, though we did leave out a few for assorted reasons. Post-timeskip OoT - Felt unnecessary between having the pre-timeskip one and Sheik, plus the Oracle version is essentially the same design in a different art style so it would've been a bit redundant. Minish Cap - Same design as Toon Zelda and doesn't give as much to work with as Spirit Tracks does. Link Between Worlds - Also the fault of the Oracle one, we thought if we did it in the art style it'd look too similar and if we didn't do it in the art style it'd look too similar to the Link to the Past one. Plus we have a separate picture in the works using this Zelda look anyway. Hyrule Warriors - Neither of us really cares too much for this design and we thought it'd look too similar to Twilight Princess. Cartoon - Genuinely thought about it but it was mostly a casualty of dwindling time / space. Honestly the Four Swords one just barely made the cut for similar reasons. So yeah, big undertaking here but we really hope everyone's going to enjoy it. Very happy with the results on this whole endeavor and it felt like an appropriate way to celebrate Zelda having a game of her own.
