We see a lot of wonderful fan art that comes through the DualShockers door that is usually depicting a beautiful scene or reimaging of a popular gaming character. But very few times we get an art piece that marries the beautyandthe beast so tightly together. I guess, after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For those of you who have played through the sixth main installment ofThe Legend of Zeldaseries,The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, you’ll know what I’m talking about when it comes toMajora’s Mask, the scary, cursed mask from the classic title. To make matters worse, we have some fan art of the creepy mask that’s terrifying but also mesmerizing to look at.
Japanese artist “Appetizers”, as they are known on Twitter, has illustrated a fantastic, if not a little sinister, fan art piece ofThe Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. The immaculate drawing is so detailed that you could almost reach out and touch it. It also reminds me of Ember Lab’s upcoming action-adventure gameKena: Bridge of Spiritsdue to the magical forest element. For those of you who don’t know whatThe Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Maskis about, the game was first released in 2000 on the Nintendo 64 and then the Gamecube a few years later. The story follows the narrative of Link and a wayward imp called the Skull Kid who steals an artifact calledMajora’s Maskfrom a traveling mask salesman.
As much as the title may have spooked younger players, the title did earnMajora’s Maska very positive reception even though it only sold half of whatOcarina of Timeachieved. You can check out the artist’s other illustrations over on theirPixiv accountwhere I’m sure you’ll find a piece of art just as incredible as theirThe Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Maskpiece.
Last year,The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Maskcelebrated its 20th anniversary. To relive some old memories of the game, check out a 3D trailer from Nintendoright here.
