LoZ2--Geldarm.jpgZelda 2 AoL Geldarm163 viewsThe giant desert centipede frol Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
Geldarm.
I used the sprite as a reference. Oh, and between Geldarm and Lowder, I wanted to do an AoL version of Goriya, but forgot--didn't realize it till it was too late. D'oh! Ah, well, you can see Goriya in my Zelda 1 art. Not too much of Goriya changed between the two games.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2MauAndRaByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Dog and Dragon Heads163 viewsMau (the Dog Head) and Ra (the Dragon Head) in the Maze Palace in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
I learned their names in the Zelda Wiki.
Anyway, the sprites and official art were the references here.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2SkettlarByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Skettlar163 viewsAruroda, also called by his fan-name "Skettlar" from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
Beware of the fire-slinging tail... it's a "tale" best left untold! (Ha ha, I tell bad joke)
I used a sprite (and the official art from ZeldaWiki) as reference.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2TektiteByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Tektite163 viewsThe eyeball spider Tektite returns in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. And it's gotten more resilient (not to mention learned a few new tricks).
I had to use a sprite as a reference, so it doesn't look as good as it could've been.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2--Basilisk_Zora.jpgZelda 2 AoL Basilisk (Zora?)162 viewsThe basilisk monster in Zelda 2, Adventure of Link. But it could very well be Zora, hence the name choice.
Anyway, I used a sprite as a reference.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2--Bago-Bago.jpgZelda 2 AoL Bago-Bago161 viewsThe bone fish undead from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
Perhaps its last moment in life was Zora's lunch?
I used an official art as a reference.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2--Stalfos.jpgZelda 2 AoL Stalfos161 viewsThe Zelda 2: Adventure of Link version of Stalfos. Showing once again how I suck at drawing skeletons.
This one's in Parapa Palace (I used VGMaps as a reference here).
Both a sprite and the official art were reference for Stalfos.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2--Tinsuit.jpgZelda 2 AoL Tinsuit161 viewsYep! That one hopping enemy in Parapa Palace (in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link)... the one that looks like a dog enemy in armor... it has a name in North America. It's called Tinsuit. So whoever takes care of the bestiary on this site, please note. (In the Bestiary, we only know its Japanese name--WOSU).
Anyway, I used a sprite as a reference for the character. For the Parapa Palace BG, I used VGMaps.com as a reference.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2_Boots.jpgZelda 2 AoL Boots160 viewsThe winged Boots in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link, waiting in its chamber in the Maze Palace.
With these boots, Link can levitate over the waters to reach the Palace on the Sea.
I used the manual scan as reference for the boots, and VGMaps.com (and some artistic license) for reference on the palace setting.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2SorcererByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Sorcerer158 viewsMago, the fire flinging sorcerer in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
This is him in the Palace on the Sea, where you'll see him a lot. He's in other palaces, sure, but this seems to be Mago's home base.
I used a sprite, and an official art I found on ZeldaWiki, as references.DBoyWheeler

|
LoZ2--Megmut.jpgZelda 2 AoL Megmut157 viewsThe bouncing armadillo, Megmut. Well, the official art (which I used as a reference) of Megmut looks like an armadillo to me.
Anyway, it's another Zelda 2: Adventure of Link enemy.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2DoomraddleByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Doomraddle157 viewsDoomraddle, aka Guma, in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
I'm calling him Doomraddle so he won't be confused with the fifth boss, Gooma (whom Japanese fans named "Giant"/Jaianto), but anyway, here he is dancing about in Midoro Palace.
Is it just me, or does Doomraddle look like an effed up Taz? Anyway, I used a sprite as a reference.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2LeeverByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Leever157 viewsThe version of Leever in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. Only the blue versions appear. I guess the red ones learned their lesson and decided not to bother Link on this quest.
Anyway, I used the in-game sprite as the reference.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ2_Swamp.jpgZelda 2 AoL Swamp157 viewsThe swamp from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. Used a screenshot of a manual scan as a reference.DBoyWheeler
|
|
The_Triforce.jpgThe Triforce156 viewsYou can't talk about Zelda without talking about the great golden triangles, the Triforce.
I found a reference a long time ago (this is an OLD pic I drew), but I forgot which reference that was.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ2--Moa_and_friend.jpgZelda 2 AoL Moa and Girobokku153 viewsThe two ghastly eyes from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link
For Moa, I used an official art as a reference. For Girobokku (exact English name unknown; I'll have to visit the Zelda wiki to know), I used a sprite as a reference.
Anyway, here they are, haunting a graveyard (I know Girobokku appears in the "Valley of Death" near the final palace, but still...). For Moa, have the cross ready--some of them are invisible otherwise!DBoyWheeler

LoZ2--Boon.jpgZelda 2 AoL Boon150 viewsThe big fly from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
Make this big bug buzz off, if you can!
I used both a sprite and an official artwork as references.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ2FotailByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Fotail150 viewsFotail, the more dangerous of the two "birdbrains" in the Great Palace, the final place to go to in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
I used the ingame sprite as the reference here. The official art (that I found in Zelda Wiki) has him looking like an alien bug. Anyway, here's Fotail.DBoyWheeler

|
LoZ1--Gleeok.jpgLoZ1 Gleeok149 viewsThe dragon, Gleeok. In this case, it is (or WAS) three headed. And two of the heads (including the severed one flying about) is missing their mustaches--maybe Link gave them a shave when going for the heads.
Anyway, I used the official art as my reference.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ2--Lowder.jpgZelda 2 AoL Lowder146 viewsThe big bug in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. Well, one of several big bugs, anyway.
I more or less used the sprite as a reference.DBoyWheeler

LoZ1--Manhandla.jpgLoZ1 Manhandla134 viewsThat pain in the tail Piranha Plant wannabe, Manhandla. I mean it--even the Magic Shield is no match for this weed. Your only hope is to use a bomb to kill it in one hit! Anyway, here's Manhandla.
My main reference was the official art in the manual.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--The_Three_Swords.jpgLoZ1 The Three Swords121 viewsThe three swords of Zelda 1, from the starting sword, to the White Sword, to the Magical Sword.
My reference was the manual art, and no I didn't trace.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Zol_and_Gel.jpgLoZ1 Zol and Gel119 viewsThe blobs from Zelda 1.
Zol, and two Gels. I used the manual art as the reference, but because I was lazy, I simplified the slime covering to make them look like candies. :DDBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Moblins.jpgLoZ1 Moblins114 viewsThe bulldogs of doom, the Moblins, from Zelda 1.
Used the sprites as reference this time (as opposed to the manual art--he looked a bit robotic in the artwork), and drew two since there were two colors.DBoyWheeler
