Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I think I'm as excited for the swell of 2016 Zelda fan art as I am for the concept art. There's already some great work based on what few characters and structures Nintendo has revealed.

EternaLegend's pieces on Tumblr.

Fifth down on the right on some artist named Rob Dunsmuir's p...

This looks wonderful, on one hand it lets us see more of BOTW's Hyrule.... On other hand, these teasers make the wait for the game harder.

Show some patience. Good things come to those who wait, unless they're annual games

Man, this concept art is gettin' rough.

The new GameXplain video is actually observant! Except when he doesn't realize 'system' means 'options.' That was bad.

Also, fire-breathing Lizalfos WHEN???

Merry Christmas, here's your present:

@Haru17 It took me a little bit of time to figure out what was going on in this picture. Link looks terrified, lol.

@Nicolai He does, haha. I've been ambivalent about the low effort-looking style of these holiday sketches, but I think this one is really creative with how they changed the color of the guardian's glow yet again.

Are you referring only to this game? Lizalfos did breathe fire in Skyward Sword (and their dark cousins breathed darkness, of course).

After seeing the electric horn field and their jump-attack capability, what I want to see is a Brachy Lizalfos that explosively dives at you.

@meleebrawler Frankly, I'm not certain I ever want to see a Brachydios himself again haha.

And I've seen Lizalfos breathe fire since Ocarina of Time so I'm anticipating it for this game. We haven't really seen any fire element enemies yet, so I'm pumped!

@DarthNocturnal Well, I just have a memory of OG Z-targeting a Lizalfos (or Dinolfos — they're both lizard men) as it breathed fire at me and lit the room red. A real cinematic moment. I'm remembering it as that one room in the Fire Temple with the rock islands Link could hop between, but I might be combining two memories.

I did play that game when I was eight, to be fair.

Hey umm, is IGN just really bad at this game or are they playing the Youtube meta?

A new type of mini-guardian reveals itself!

Was that their weekly screenshot? Cos I think we're due another one.

Bit crappy. We've already seen that pretty much. I wanna see more of this world that we've supposedly only seen about 2% of.

This plus some sort of premise would make my day.

Y'all are a bit behind on the times. Here's the DL: noonish PST Wednesday screenshot, noonish PST Friday concept art.

For the mini guardian shot, fans have theorized that it drops the materials to craft the blue light arrow. Granted, as we know from the original teaser, that blue blade is not a physical thing, but rather an energy sword-type construct that looks to be made of the same energy as the guardians' laser.

And finally, the message on the Facebook concept art provided a little further support for the giant Death Mountain guardian; "As you’ve seen in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link will need to battle enemies called Guardians that come in a variety of sizes and shapes."

Happy New Years! Let's hope it's out last one in pre-release mode.

Finally got my Wolf LONK amiibo ready, just need to make sure it will have max hearts, shame I can't use Duck Hunt ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But what would you use it for when Wolf Link can duck hunt already?

Anyway, someone on Reddit noted that the New Years art is a reference to this concept art from the original Zelda.
