Zelda used to be a dark fantasy franchise before Nintendo pussified it.
Yeah, Zelda CGI was pretty dark
>it's dark fantasy because someone diesYou're retarded, OP.
>>741864870what's this from?
>>741864870Revisionist history based on one set of illustrations that were not part of the game's developmentZelda looked like pic related from the outset
>>741864870
>>741864870Link looks like he was just done having sex with his fat disgusting hairy lover
>>741865457I wish we could return to Link being a heroic dweeb.
Link is a tzadikim
>>741865457I remember having a kids Zelda book in the late 80s before I even had a console or gameboy
>>741864870>>741865485wait is that not what's happening here?
>>741865485>ugly bastard and twinkBased
>>741865464Edited to avoid eceleb dickriding
>>741865957I believe it's a rendition of the start of LttP where Link wakes up and sees his uncle heading out.

>>741864870Zelda's audience transitioned, nintendo was just reflecting that.
>>741864870Where do you think Dark Souls got all its ideas from?

>>741866374I look like this
>>741866436Kingsfield?
>>741866883partlymiyazaki came later and said he was inspired by zelda games

DARK FANTASY IS WHEN A PIECE OF ARTWORK IS DIMLY LIT
>>741865609THE LINK LIONIZATION WILL CONTINUE UNTIL HE IS LEFT-HANDED AGAIN
>>741864870Zelda originally was a Christian fantasy franchise
>>741870613None of the games do anything christian tho...
>>741865363A link to the past, the best zelda game ever, you fucking plebian.
>>741871182Take that you nazi
>>741871413Why does this make /v/ fedoras so butthurt?
>>741864870Zelda is my what?
>>741871338come on dude i know i mean the image
>>741871721I don't see anyone here being butthurt about it.
>>741870613>>741871413it was christian because miyamoto thinks chross=exotic cool like any anime and game developer in 80s japan
>>741864870HEY LINK! THERE'S A FREAKIN' EASTER EGG IN MY YARD!
>>741871721Just to play devils advocate I think it might just be sort of strange for some mystical world full of not-humans, fish people, Rock people, and jewish women to have a christian church in it.
>>741871892https://www.pinterest.com/pin/513340057516212412/Found it in like half a minute with image search, dont be lazy.
>>741865457OP lost and got raped lmao
>>741872202thanks
>>741871413Yeah it took some christian symbols but it doesn't really do anything with it. To call it "christian fantasy" is a bit far fetched.
>>741872126It's clearly inspired by the legend of king Arthur, that's why there's a master sword, therefore it combines Christianity and myth
>>741872368>there's a rabbit of Caerbannog tooIt's a bit of a stretch but I can see where you're coming from.
>>741865643
>>741872529Holy crap I never realized this before, IT DOES
>>741872639There's the hidden swastika level in super mario world
>>741864870Nigga when?
>>741864870is this supposed to be fanart of the game where link had pink hair and turned into a pink rabbit?
>>741864969>implyingYOU MUST DIE
>>741865363Uncle...
>>741871182the trifoce is literally the holy trinityPower = the FatherCourage = the SonWisdom = the Holy Spirit
>>741873104I never understood why Link's uncle thought he was going to manage to do fucking anything. He's some fat retard and that's about it. What makes him think he can stop literal magic beings or their armies?
>>741866092why did you insert your homosexual farting fetish
>>741873147The trinity doesn't grant wishes bro.
>>741873147>le christian trinitythe zelda triforce is literally the symbol of the most famous japanese medieval clan found around many places in japanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C5%8Dj%C5%8D_clan
>>741873254I'm like, 30% sure he's the one that taught Link swordsmanship, based on a vague memory of them being shown training together in the ending. So he was probably fairly skilled, just out of shape. So who else was gonna do it? He still thought of Link as a kid.
>>741873643He does teach Link swordsmanship but that's like asking a geriatric to go fight a living armor, it's simply not gonna matter regardless of skill
>>741866634>I love stealing posts from twatter like they do from hereThat doesn't really answer the question, anon. Even without the username, you can still tell it's from Xitter. No real point in making up a fake one.
>>741873518nigger what is praying?
>>741874321thinking praying is for granting wishes is heresy at least in cuckstianity
>>741871413Something about Christian Elves just feels off to me
>>741874461There are a thing called miracles, sometimes it's the result of prayer
>>741874510I don't mind Chinese elves because I feel like if ancient vikings saw Chinese people they probably would think they were elves. Way better than nigger elves.
>>741864870Yeah, they made it rated E when it should be rated 15+. They took out the blood, deaths, murder and torture. It's all implied now and has been since Wind Waker.
Also the hunt for the triforce is a lot like the hunt for the holy grail
>>741872703It's not a swastika, it means something different in asia.
>>741866374I'm always sad about lower right.
>>741874785>is a lot like the hunt for the holy grailyeah, i guess going on an adenture to find anything can be just like hunting for the holy grail
>>741874916Yeah. I get it. No way Miyamoto is a neo-Japanese imperialist fascist no sir
>>741872648>CaerbannoJAYSUS CHROIST
>>741865464This image has been right longer than it has been wrong. Zelda was only dark from 1985 - 2002. 17yr period where Ganon killed and tortured people, not implied but stated directly. 2002 - 2026 is a 27 year period, since Zelda has been ultra weeny hut Jr.
>>741870410She'll pull out a bow any second and save Link with a well aimed shot right between the eyes!
>>741871829…would
>>741865643This would be neat if it didn't rely on AI shit.
>>741875145I see you're just ignoring Twilight Princess then.
>>741874647Lol no, look at how Han people look like in old western movies. Usually with a single long braided hair. That's how Taiwanese (True China) looked like 125 years ago. Not that a viking would know what an elf is anyway.
>>741864870Link used to fuck ugly bastards?
>>741864870especially with The first games 1 -5 and the 3 gameboy titles(majora's mask was the darkest).Windwakker aka wind breaker was the first to go down the namaste gay fisher and price 4 kids route(Lazy new director of the game killed the prose and canon of shigeru and made him just do music instead of coding/graphics).
>>741865643Technically we have the adversary in judaism even if they don't like to mention it aka samael satan the god of the word.Technically he is Tazim the fallen priest aka the nachim that apposed elijah and sampson who sold him short or as they should truly say the babylonian pharisees that betrayed joseph of arimathea out to the romanized babylonians and philistines that took steps to push into captivity out of jealousy even though his tribe tizume were neutral and he chose a dark path.Fugg I'm only a part breed jew far back and can refute ganondorf and the picture(like mistar moots).
>>741864870i want the lttp prequel where you play as uncle
>>741875091Imagine this old fucker teleporting around causing random explosions.
>>741864870Did Mario just rape Zelda?
>>741864870No, it was always intended for children. Stop coping about kids media being heckin dark and you'll be a lot less pathetic.
>>741865457trvth nvke
>>741864870lol the last time you made this thread you got told only Link to the Past is kinda dark and here you are remaking it to try to sustain your position.Its really just the art style concepting and marketing these games man, let it go.
>>741864870Why is Link's dad mexican?
>>741873643>who's gooning to CDI porn
>>741873254>He's some fat retard and that's about it.He's a retired Hylian knight.
>>741873147lmao noExtremely heretical take.
What exactly killed the uncle anyway? The only things down there are rats, right? Were there even soldiers? I don't remember.
>>741884214What's heretical about it? Stop using words you don't know the meaning of
>>741864870I love Terada's work, but lets not pretend he actually took part in the production of the games. He just worked on promotional stuff for Nintendo Power and such. That's like saying Secret of Mana was dark fantasy because he did some illustrations based on it.
>>741884052>Hylian knights live like peasantsPretty sad state of affairs.
>>741864870>Link’s uncle is 1993 movie Mario
>>741873254Because Link wouldn’t have gotten out of bed if he didn’t go.
>>741880505Same
>>741865457To think that OOT and Majora's Mask art wasn't heavily inspired by this is retarded
>>741864870Isn't this the game where Link turns into a pink bunny?
>>741865643Ganondrof literally represents everything Jews believe and their behavior. Link and Zelda are like Pagan Europeans, Celto-Germanic
>>741865643I miss when Jew haters actually put effort into making infographs.
>>741874510Link goes to bed in his full outfit including hat?
>>741885384I think that was made by a jew, you got it backwards
>>741872639>/v/ simultaneously believes Zelda is based and redpilled and that Zelda is a freemason psyop
>>741885710>/v/ is one person
>>741870537>>741865609Now that I think about it, Link stopped being such a chad in the games after they made him right handed and had his image and reputation ruined because of BoTW and that gerudo outfit.
>>741864969YOU DARE BRING LIGHT INTO MY LAIR?
>>741886315>deflectingSee?
>>741886329Link looks like a boyband singer in OoT
Hi, i was the one who was on aboot zelda 2 and prince if persia from yesterday. To that anon who asked wtf i was talking about: link's being hunted the whole game. Ganon's goons need links blood to bring their boss back. Kinda like how prince is being hunted throught out warrior within cause dhaka (and chick amd her army) needs prince
>>741875568>Usually with a single long braided hair.You mean with a queue braid? The hairstyle of the Qing empire which were nomadic conquerors that only ruled china centuries after the vikings were around and forced their hair and clothing styles onto the Han and other peoples? youre stupid
>>741891691>Vikings influencing ChinaStop learning history from videogames
>>741891691the queue is supposed to be the mark of a Han slave
>>741875568>Not that a viking would know what an elf is anyway.Elves are literally from Norse myth. They even considered there to be norsemen who had become elves like Olaf Geirstad-Alf and (what is believed to be) the ancestor worship in the alfablot.There's literally no one but norsemen who would know what elves look like because the conception of it came from them in the first place.
>>741885710I think Zelda is just a fun game and don't compare it to retarded IRL politics.
>>741866374I'm sorry Sony, but the gaystation stunt has destroyed all idort nuance. No amount of shills posing as ex-Nintendo fanboys can help you save face.
>>741864870for me it's playing lttp and getting skeeved out by the apocalyptic parallel hyrule, and then playing oot and getting skeeved out by the apocalyptic future with fuckin zombies and shit, and then also gettin skeeved out in mm by the literal apocalypse with some freakazoid nuking the planetfor me it's not going on a gay boat adventure and flying around on gliders in gay happy go fun world
>>741864870damn, that's an incredibly erotic image
>>741865457Based Christian Link
>>741865643Uno Reverse!
>>741865643>GayI
>>741871182One of your items was The Bible
>>741866374who are these people why should I care?
>>741865643Why the fuck this shit ass format of info pic is being spammed all around? New Ai dedicades to just this or what bullshit goes around now?
>>741896210I have a bible too, doesn't make me a christian.
>>741897259It's the dildo in your ass that doesn't make you one
>>741896210Japanese doesn't have a particularly big christian following (that's more in SEA countries).It's largely just another mythology to draw from for them, but then it's actually believed in the West. It's why they had to censor out the cross into a boomerang for the NES castlevanias after awhile. so it doesn't got arbitraril thrown into Japanese games as much anymore
>>741865186Worse, it's dark fantasy because it has shading
>>741891798you have 0 reading comprehension, tell me where I implied that
>>741866374this nigger isn't even trying.he just shaved his goatee and called it a day.
>>741875145murder and torture isn't dark, otherwise fucking Fire Emblem would be dark
>>7418663747/10 would fug.i'd smash his prostate and blow my load up his shitter.
>>741874916Yeah, no way Japanese would ever associate it with a major political and military ally they had only 80 years ago.
>>741898345https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%8D%8DPlease kill yourself.
>>741898513
>>741864870Wind Waker has done irreconcilable damage to Zelda
>>741901768That game has the best version of GanondorfBOTW turned the chad hero Link into a faggy freak cuck
>>741884541He prefers to use terms like "rustic" and "idyllic"
