Artists of Legend: Another Look at the ZD Marathon
Posted on July 18 2019 by Adam Barham
Hello again! Welcome back to Artists of Legend. I hope you’ve been enjoying this year’s Zelda Dungeon Marathon! This week, as normal, we have quite a few submissions to feature and a new art prompt to offer to anyone interested. Now, let’s get right on into everything!
Submitted Artwork
During the Zelda Dungeon Marathon, the amazing people at Linktober have partnered with us to provide an art challenge every day based on the primary Zelda games that have been featured during the Marathon. As such, we’ve received quite a few submissions based on those prompts! Check out all this great artwork!

Thank you all for sharing your awesome artwork! Keep it up!
This Week’s Challenge
This week, let’s take another look at the Zelda Dungeon Marathon. While the calendar that the people at Linktober put together last week has been fantastic, it only covers the major Zelda games that were live-streamed each day – Four Swords Adventures, Minish Cap, Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, and Ocarina of Time. This week, we’d like you to create artwork for the other, mostly smaller Zelda games that the calendar didn’t cover. A Link to the Past, the Oracle games, Majora’s Mask, or any of the others that showed up in the Marathon but weren’t covered are all candidates. Be creative, go crazy, and have fun!
As always, here are the rules for artwork in this series.
- Keep things clean. Zelda Dungeon should be safe for all ages, so don’t go creating foul images, anything too risque, or anything NSFW.
- Stick to the main idea, but feel free to be creative with it. If you want to draw a specific scene from one of the games, go ahead; if you want to come up with something similar to a scene from one of the games with a twist on it, that’s great too.
- Any form of art is acceptable as long as it somehow displays the mentioned scene. You can draw with a pencil and paper, paint on a canvas, make pixel art on a computer, weave, carve, create the scene with Zelda figurines, even do metal work if that’s your thing. Go crazy!
- While you can submit your work in the comment section, the preferred methods are putting your work in the comment section here on Zelda Dungeon, or Tweeting or posting on Instagram with #artistsoflegend. It makes it easier for me to find the art when you submit it.
- Do not steal art from someone else.
- Do not insult other people’s art. Peaceful critiques and thoughts are one thing; direct insults are another.
- There’s no pressure. Just have fun!
I look forward to seeing what you guys create this time, and I’ll see you all next week!
