LoZ1--Wizzrobe.jpgLoZ1 Wizzrobe230 viewsNo, it's not Orco from He-Man, it's two kinds of Wizzrobe from Zelda 1.
I used the manual art as reference, and drew two of them, since there were two colors of them.DBoyWheeler

Navi_the_Fairy.jpgNavi179 viewsUm, admins, let me say in my defense that there are no naughty bits showing, so hopefully I have (pardon the pun) barely stayed within the rules. [When you admins mentioned the "no nudity" rule, I kinda assumed it implied the "naughty bits", but nothing naughty here is showing.]
Anyway, here's Navi the fairy. This is in a much older drawing style, so I know it's not much.
My reference was random fanart of Navi found elsewhere.DBoyWheeler

LoZ1--Bubble.jpgLoZ1 Bubble169 viewsThe ghost Bubble from the first Zelda game.
I used the manual art as reference.DBoyWheeler

Ganon.jpgGanon161 viewsThe evil pig demon of DOOM!
I found a reference a long time ago, but I forgot which it was. All I know is it was an official art of Ganon in Zelda 1.DBoyWheeler

Link_and_Zelda.jpgLink and Zelda161 viewsLink hugging Zelda from behind (aww). I tried to draw them as they appeared in LttP, and of course some cutesy anime-style art of Zelda and Link were my reference in drawing this.
I know it's a wee bit sloppy--this is an older art style.DBoyWheeler

The_Triforce.jpgThe Triforce154 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

LoZ1--Gleeok.jpgLoZ1 Gleeok143 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

LoZ1--Manhandla.jpgLoZ1 Manhandla128 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 Swords117 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 Gel116 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--Water_of_Life.jpgLoZ1 Water of Life109 viewsThe life refilling Water of Life from Zelda 1.
I used the manual art as reference--and made a little bit of artistic license here too.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Moblins.jpgLoZ1 Moblins108 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
|
|
LoZ1--Dodongo.jpgLoZ1 Dodongo106 viewsThe dino rhino, Dodongo. Go and give him the ultimate case of indigestion!
I used both the game sprite AND the official art from the manual as references.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Gibdo.jpgLoZ1 Gibdo104 viewsGibdo the Mummy from Zelda 1.
I used the manual art (instead of the sprite) as reference, since the sprite made him look a wee bit chubby. He looks like he's disco dancing, huh?DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Aquamentus.jpgLoZ1 Aquamentus103 viewsThe unicorn dragon. As long as one has the correct sword and some other weapons, this dragon isn't too hard.
I used both some game sprites and the official manual art as reference.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Digdogger.jpgLoZ1 Digdogger103 viewsThe giant urchin, Digdogger. Maybe it's in the middle of shrinking after hearing Link's whistle.
I used a mix of the main art in the manual, and the sprite, as reference here. And I had trouble getting the side wall to look right. Can't win 'em all, I suppose.DBoyWheeler

|
LoZ1--Pols_Voice.jpgLoZ1 Pols Voice102 viewsThe big eared ghost from Zelda 1.
I used the manual art as a reference. When I first drew this long ago, I wondered about the weakness... then found out we Westerners missed out on it since in Japan, the Famicom Disk System had a mike so you could shout at the Pols Voice and destroy them that way.DBoyWheeler

LoZ1--Zola.jpgLoZ1 Zola102 viewsThe darn Zola from Zelda 1. The manual art was used as a reference for this.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Lanmola.jpgLoZ1 Lanmola101 viewsThe centipede of doom from Zelda 1--in two colors!
I used the manual art as a reference... and drew it twice, since there are two colors of Lanmola.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Wall_Master.jpgLoZ1 Wall Master99 viewsThe annoying Wall Master from Zelda 1.
I used the manual artwork as a reference, but left out the warts/bumps/whatever, since I was a wee bit lazy.DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Armos.jpgLoZ1 Armos98 viewsArmos from Zelda 1.
I used the manual art as a reference, and used a little bit of artistic license to make him look semi-human (as opposed to his cyclops-ish look in the sprite).DBoyWheeler
|
|
LoZ1--Stalfos.jpgLoZ1 Stalfos97 viewsYeah, it's hard to draw skeletons, and this was my first attempt at drawing skeletons.
Anyway, its a Stalfos from Zelda 1. I tried to use the manual art as reference, but again, this was my first attempt at skeletons, so I kinda messed it up bigtime.DBoyWheeler

LoZ1--Gohma.jpgLoZ1 Gohma96 viewsThe giant spider crab of DOOM! Get that bow and arrow ready!
I used the official art in the manual as the reference here.DBoyWheeler
