Hmmm, well, not happy at all with that but i wanted to finish it for Zelda 25th bday :)

The idea was to make a more realistic render of the famous original artwork ( [link] )from Nintendo, but it turned out not so realistic lol. I still prefer the original in the end!

At least i like the rough contrasted 80's comics style!

I love the color and tone of this piece. I recognised the composition immediately. Are you aware of how well the subdued tone matches the clay model of hyrule created for the original LoZ? I can't find a version without the text, but here's a scan from the manual:

Anyway, if that was intentional or not, bravo. I really like this one. It also goes quite well with the official German watercolors.

Quite welcome! It's also worth noting that this image from A Link to the Past's official art actually recreates the pose and concept, now featuring the Tower of Hera:

Oh, I suppose I was just unclear in my meaning. The LttP piece I linked just above, although official, was also a retread of the same piece that inspired you. :)

I think that the bottom left corner (extreme foreground) looks quite realistic. As for the middle ground and background, there does not seem to be enough value contrast between them, so that is contributing to it looking less realistic.
Overall, it is quite nice, and to me it looks a heck of a lot better than the original

What are you talking about? This is fantastic! Fog is a tough thing to do and you've got it down pat! I literally thought this was a photo at first!

I agree with those who said that this is far better than Skyward Sword's anonymous graphical style.
