zelda_victor, by Victor Roa
""Well, I actually wasn't one of those early adopters of Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker, I was really fond of the original Link design of NES instruction manual. I was so facinated with that design I dressed up as him and dreamed of growing up to be like him, it wasn't till I bought Minish Cap for Gameboy Advance that I just feel in love with the design. It's a lot more coloriful and detailed then Wind Waker and it's presented in the old fashion NES over head design. I just felt like a kid again, so I illustrated this imagining what if Link just ditched his duties as "hero of time" and just went around to have fun like a kid. And Elzo is such a stuffed uptight character, I thought it would be funny to see him sqwaking behind him. I did tried to go for the Minish Cap style especially the color pallet, but I was more inspired by Dennis the Menace." -Victor
