Gannon, the Prince of Darkness, faces Link in the final chamber of Death Mountain from the original Legend of Zelda.

As an '80s kid, few things were more important to me than Legend of Zelda. I was Link for many Halloweens and I often created "dungeons" out of couch cushions and blankets around our house. Hyrule was a constant source of inspiration for drawings which continues even today.

This scene is when you first enter Gannon's (not a typo) chamber and Link holds the completed Triforce above him. During my first play through of the game, my hands were sweaty when I saw this final boss after hours of navigating his maze-like dungeon (no Gamefaqs back then!).

I took liberties in the design here so in b4 omg inaccurate :P I borrowed a lot of Gannon's design off his more recent incarnations.

Enjoy!

See my other Legend of Zelda pieces!

I love how 'ickle Link is here compared to Ganon. The odds are always stacked against him, yet, he always fights, until he prevails. I think you captured that really well here.

Nothing like old school Zelda! Really, this is an admirable piece of work. Well done. :clap:

Zelda fanatic. Definitely not sarcastic. Occasionally manic. Frequently Erratic. Derp.

.. You shouldn't have done that.

The words you said to me, they couldn't set me free. I'm stuck here in this life, I didn't ask for. There must be something more...

Holy Hell. How's Link supposed to fight something like that???

...Well, obviously, he found a way, but DAMN. That's a bigass boar.

This is so amazing. I really like how you changed him up a bit. The size comparison between Gannon and Link is just crazy!

Epic! I love your choose of angle, it highly increases the action about this picture. Feels like they're actually moving even if it's just one drawing.
