Sailing, sailing....and more sailing....and MORE sailing....!
Graphics aside, I really enjoyed the gameplay of Windwaker...except for the HUGE amount of sailing you have to do. Talk about tedious!
Anyway... Here's Link and the King of Red Lions sailing along in front Greatfish Isle. The skinny line to the right of Greatfish Isle is Needle Rock Isle, and that's Islet of Steel to the right of the picture.
And yes, I gave Link a more realistic style. I very much disliked the graphics in this game... Not the cel-shading, that didn't bother me that much. it was the stylized look they gave the characters that bothered me. So I gave Link my own look.
This is my new second entry to the Ultimate Fandom Contest 3: Video Games. [link] The genre is Legend of Zelda, and the category is "Characters".
I always liked the King of Red Lions; he reminds me a bit of Falkor from the Neverending Story...whom I also like a lot. And sailing on that boat does sound like fun if one isn't forced to do it for hours on end...
Anyway, I have just finished playing Windwaker and was inspired to draw Link on his journey across the seas, and Greatfish Isle is, I think, one of the cooler and more distinct islands.
As I was playing recently, I felt compelled to issue a challenge to any decent artists with art of Windwaker. What do you say to the task of creating a fully intact greatfish isle before its destruction?
You got the 3D feeling nicely, even if it's a different style I liked the King of Red Lions too, but you're right, sailing can get tedious after a while though it kinda gave me the feeling of how impressive and huge the sea is.
Great work on this one
