Current nominations

The Wind Waker Japanese boxart

Wind Waker boxart

This image really shows the high quality of Nintendo's Japanese video game boxart. This boxart is much more detailed than the American and European boxarts, and includes iridescent foil for a colorful effect. The newsprint-like effect on Link is pretty nice.

1. The iridescent effect is quite striking, and as a whole is visually intriguing. Miles (talk) 16:33, 23 January 2012 (EST)
2. There is a lot of detail in the image, and the colors look nice.--Player1won 22:14, 18 May 2012 (EDT)

Opposition

1. It's kind of interesting looking, I suppose, but I can't say I'm really happy with the idea of prominently showing high-resolution product images like this (since it's something other wikis specifically tend to steer away from for legal reasons). Aside from that vague concern, we already have quite a few WW images featured, two of which have Link and KoRL as their subject matter, so I don't really feel it helps the overall diversity.

1. The picture itself is nice, but the brand names and text detracts from the picture. It would look less cluttered if the text wasn't there, but the image itself is striking with many contrasting colors. User:Darkness/sig 19:03, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Great Fairies from The Wind Waker

File:GreatFairies Figurine.png

Great Fairies

The simplicity and pastel color combinations of this image flow quite nicely and add to the mystique given by the Fairies' appearance. This image also features a stellar transparency!User:Mandi/sig 20:11, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

1. This picture is very well put together and must have taken a while to compose, it really shows off the great colours the fairies have. Broojo02 12:05, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
2. I agree. The colors of the Great Fairies are amazing and interesting. I believe this beats everything else we have currently. - AtrumLevis  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 17:19, 5 September 2011 (EDT)
3. Out of all the stellar pictures available of the Figurines in The Wind Waker, this one takes the cake. — Hylian King ^[*] 18:13, 5 September 2011 (EDT)
4. I'll echo Hylian King's sentiments, here. All the figurine images are spectacular, but this one, with its gradient colors, really reflects the "eye candy" art style of The Wind Waker. I would love for it to be on the front page for more people to enjoy. —Embyr 75  ^--Talk-- 19:03, 5 September 2011 (EDT)
5. I really enjoy the colors in this picture and I could stare at it for hours I thnk it deserves to be featured Sammoldy 03:02, 10 November 2011 (EST)
6. This image is exploding with life. The 8 pairs of arms give the piece some motion and complexity which is offset by the simple colors and beautiful lighting. If you've ever collected figurines in The Wind Waker, you'll find that many of them feel dead and unrewarding. However, this piece is worth the effort required to obtain it. User:Abdullah/sig 18:54, 15 December 2011 (EST)
7. Great image; I've always liked the design of the Great Fairies from The Wind Waker best out of all the games. Excellent transparency by Josh and re-touching by Abdullah; thanks guys! User:Adam/sig 03:05, 29 February 2012 (EST)

Artwork of the Triforce

File:Triforce.jpg

Artwork of the Triforce from A Link to the Past

Very detailed, high-resolution image. Meets featured image criteria, as well as image quality standards. The image is also quite sharp. It also (of course) covers a Zelda-related subject, the Triforce. -Cuddles ^{(Sit next door)} 22:56, 11 July 2012 (EDT)

1. A lot of compression artifacts on this one. Out of all the images on the wiki, I don't think this one's in the top percentiles in terms of quality. --TheHK ^{(T) (C)} 21:47, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

1. It's definitely an interesting image, buuuut I'm not so sure about the quality of it... I doubt there is one with better quality floating around the internet, but if there is, I'd be more than glad to give this my support! --Dany36 13:55, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Link resting

File:Link resting.jpg

Official artwork from the remake of A Link to the Past

A high quality image of Link taking a break under a tree. It has great, vibrant colors and, even though it could do without the logo at the top, that doesn't take away from this not too well-known artwork from the A Link to the Past remake. --Dany36 17:53, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Support

The image is crisp and clear with vivid colors. This picture is pleasant to look at. ----P1won 18:05, 8 August 2012 (EDT)
