This is more of a recreation of the real thing than a stylized adaption. Still, if you play a lot of Zelda games, you should notice that this wasn't based of the original art, but more of how he looks in the game.

"You have earned my respect..."

date: November 3, 2009

I don't know HOW many times I've tried to draw Deku Link, I always seem to mess up the body, and the mouth. This, my friend, is pure perfection. If only it had a backround...

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review! :J And sorry about not having a background... I don't like doing them that much... plus, it makes him seem alone.

Majora's Mask is the best game ever. I really, really like the way this was drawn. It makes me want to go work on my sketching. Great job, I'm gonna look at more of your drawings.

October 23, 2009

Author's Response:

Haha, thanks for the review. I loved Majora's Mask. x3 I think I 'd go with the goron if I wanted to play as a specific one, but I really like how the deku scrub looks.

This brings me back to how much I enjoyed Majora's Mask. While it wasn't as good as Ocarina of Time it's quite a fine game. I love the tonal shade it's what I really like about sketches. Sometimes they're a lot better without color.

Author's Response:

Thanks a lot :D Nice review, and I'm glad to hear another Majora's Mask fan likes my work :J

"I don't think it could have been better then color"

date: September 7, 2009

The dumbass below me does'nt play zelda. That deku scrub is very depressing, and you chose black and white (i think) to help that feeling.

September 7, 2009

Author's Response:

Lol xD thanks for the review. I mainly chose to draw deku scrub Link because he's pretty much my favorite Majora's Mask character (Skull Kid aside). I liked the end result though, so I felt I should submit it.

it may have looked nicer in colour but still.. the shading on this is really well done and youve got the sorta wooden look down perfectly.

i gave this 9/10 cus i think it is pretty much perfect but coulda been better in colour
but... still 5/5 vote =]

"Majora Mask art"

date: September 7, 2009

I really think that the Majora Mask is a awesome game. It doesn't have the Zelda classics' storyline, and the people of Termina seems to be real people, with problems and stuff to do, not only standing and waiting to say something to the green-clothed child. Now, if you draw the Termina Moon, I would support you...
