Photoshop Contest: Ladies of the Zelda Universe

Greetings once again, Zelda Informer community. It’s time for another edition of our weekly Photoshop Contest! I’ve noticed that the more recent contests have for some reason focused more on the male characters of the Zelda series. Even though we may see Princess Zelda in a few entries here and there, there hasn’t been a contest completely devoted to Zelda‘s extended cast of strong female characters. We intend to change this problem today. Join the contest this week to celebrate characters like Zelda, Midna, Malon, Anju, and Telma, and see what went down in last week’s contest: Psychedelic Screenshot.

Last Week’s Contest:

We were hoping to see some psychedelic wonder in our previous contest, but unfortunately no one with Photoshop capabilities made an appearance. Instead, we’re crowning commenters Ian and dizzi as our winners, as they offered some interesting suggestions for potential Photoshop entries.

This Week’s Contest: Ladies of the Zelda Universe

As the Zelda series has evolved over the years, it has developed a very strong and diverse cast of female characters. Ocarina of Time introduced Malon, Ruto, and Nabooru, and expanded the character of Princess Zelda; Majora’s Mask gave us Anju and Cremia; and Twilight Princess featured Midna, one of Zelda‘s most beloved and complex characters. With so many awesome ladies seen throughout the series, it’s about time we took a moment to appreciate them.

This week’s contest is to ‘shop an image featuring female characters from the Zelda series. You can depict a new adventure / game starring one or more of these lady heroes, or you can concoct a loving tribute to your favorite female character. Whatever you decide to do, feel free to use images from our gallery below and anything else you may find on the internet.

General Rules: Submit your entries in the comments section below.

  • To save images from the gallery, right click the image in the gallery (without opening the image in lightbox) and select open image in new tab. Go up to the address bar and delete __small from the URL. Hit enter, right click, and save!
  • Photoshop is not required to enter the contest. Any image manipulation software can be used to create your entry.
  • Some hand-drawn fan art is okay, but your entry must include some image manipulation to be considered.
  • Please refrain from using offensive material (racial, sexual, overuse of offensive language, etc.) We want to make the contest fun and accessible for fans of all ages.
  • Everyone is entitled to their own opinion at Zelda Informer. In fact, we encourage discussion based on those opinions. However, please do not insult other fans’ work. What may be funny to one person may not hold true for another…and that’s OK.
  • Have fun and be creative!

Deadline: Submit entries no later than Thursday at midnight: 11:59 p.m. PST on May 5. Entries submitted after this Deadline will not be considered.

Challenge Mode

For those that who want to test their skills with something more challenging, we have a Challenge Rule for you to follow:

1. Your entry must gender swap a male Zelda character.

If you think you’re up to the challenge, include the phrase Challenge Accepted with your submission. Remember, Challenge Mode submissions follow the same rules and guidelines of the base Photoshop Contest in addition to the Challenge Rules.

Good luck!
