The day is almost here and we couldn’t be more excited. Friday, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be released for Nintendo Switch; it’s the latest game in the long-running, mega Nintendo franchise. The Legend of Zelda has an incredible history of beautiful storytelling, character development, and exciting, action-packed adventure, which is why we’ve been playing it since 1986.
If there’s one problem with Zelda games though it’s that they come out so infrequently — so unless you are always playing them (which, to be frank, can happen) you might not always find ways to show your fandom. For me? I found a solution to always being Zelda-crazy in buying and displaying amazing Legend of Zelda art.
And so, with the new game on the horizon, here’s just a small sampling of my favourite Legend of Zelda art from the last decade or so. Most of these were released as limited edition prints and have sold out, but some are still available; plus, many of the artists did pieces for all the games, and we’re just showcasing one in particular. So feel free to do some digging… when you’re not playing Tears of the Kingdom of course.
