History of Hyrule: Thanks to some awesome sleuthing work we've figured out this piece was mislabeled in the official Art and Artifacts artbook. It wasn't done for a 1994 re-release, it's actually from a 1987 Nintendo Calendar. Which means it's a piece from 1986: likely done along with other original Zelda 1 game art.

The style Ganon is done in reminds me of Go Nagai

If they ever remake Zelda 1 and 2 it would be neat if the graphics actually matched the old artworks.

I would love that so much. A version that looked like this would be incredible. Link and Zelda art so cute here and Ganon is actually fleshed out. This is basically the only early, true, depiction of him that we have in an illustration

Did it come with nintendo power? stradagy guide?, or with a gold cartridge purches? I remember my brother having this calendar.

Japanese wall calendar. If you can find a US version that would be pretty killer! Everyone I asked hadn't seen it before & then a Japanese fan found it. I'd never seen the art outside of A&A/HG & I hyper obsess/hunt the old art (never collected much merch though) x.com/Kobun20/stat...

I'll ask him. My mom never threw anything out. So if it still exists in a baseball card binder in his room somewhere, I can try and find it.

Ohhh, that would be amazing!

I wanna try my hand at something in this style but for metroid
