#I'd been meaning to voice my opinion on this for a while. Don't get me wrong, I really like the image (I did upload it after all!). However, it's not actually an official image.

There is only one other image of Link's Awakening featured. That one is small and doesn't actually have a moment from the game. This one does. It is of Link struggling to keep his boat afloat as seen in the game's opening. This image came from the Nintendo Guide for the game. It was monochrome, except for the lamp glow. I colored it based on the colors of those objects in the game. It took a lot of work to fix up this image. It looks good and it was worked into the {{LA|-}} page very well.

**One, [[User:Ando1400@legacy41958204#Contact Info|check this, LHOL]]. Two, if they find the image uninteresting, well, that's their opinion, and given that featured picture nominees are decided almost solely on personal preference of the image, that's okay.

*The world isn't fair. Sadly, if she can't do anything but vote, then she'll have to wait until she can do other things. Because voting on things is not what this Wiki is about. It is about trying to contain all the knowledge in the Zelda universe. Featured articles and pictures are a way to motivate improvement. So unless the person is making valid edits, they should not vote. Because only people that know the ins and outs of the wiki can know what is truly acceptable. It is that simple. We are not voting on how we'd feel in the situation that the pictures depict. Even though you're most likely telling the truth, we technically have no proof that it is your sister and not you. That is why it is best not to run two accounts from the same household. If you guys did that on Wikipedia, you'd likely be blocked right off. There is a reason that many countries have a minimum voting age. We also cannot be sure if you are not influencing her votes. I can't make exceptions. That's the way the world works.{{:User: | *The world isn't fair. Sadly, if she can't do anything but vote, then she'll have to wait until she can do other things.

Well... Majoras mask artwork tend to have a little to much shadows and this picture is not an exception. But it doesn´t feel right to oppose it because it isn´t a bad picture... Well... Just wanted to say it... Wait, I change my mind. This, of all the MM -artwork, does not have too much shadows, it is great.
