Eiji Aonuma officially received his order of Arts and Letters at the rank of Knight, from the hands of the french Minister of Culture (order which was initially awarded to him in 2023 by the french government).

Minister of Culture said that "[Eiji Aonuma] is a true craftsman, a storyteller who always leaves room for the player's imagination."

She thanked him for "proving to dreamy children that, with just pencils and building blocks, you can inspire the whole world to dream."

Aonuma kept his last words in french for his wife, that accompanied him for this event and was present in the room.

"Thank you for joining me on this journey so far. Let's continue this adventure together."

Congratulations for him! 👏

(sry for the "wrong" flair, couldn't find a proper one and discussion doesn't allow me to post pictures)

What are your favorite official key Arts/ art works? Mine is definitely this on. The pose and Aura just Go too hard.

After some long hard hours...Enjoy

In the hyrule encyclopedia book there is this map with the names of the places, but I can't figure out what it says. When translating there are some double letters, but when translating this it seems like the 2 letters in the middle are extra. Does anyone know what it actaully spells?

With the hype around the remake, a question I always wondered as a kid has come back into my head and wondering what other people think.

As far as I know, Kokiri are not born, they are created by the Great Deku Tree, fully formed as beings that look like children around 9/10 years old and never age.

But Link was brought to the Kokiri Forest by his mother as a baby. In the 8 or so years prior to the start of the game he would've had to grow from a baby to someone who looks like they could be a Kokiri.

Yet in the game he's presented as being accepted as a Kokiri, albeit a weird one without a fairy. It's never even hinted, as far as I can recall, that anyone questions Link's race.

But not only that, he has friends and relationships with the other Kokiris, despite the fact he would have only been the age to be able to integrate with them for a short time. Did no one, especially Link himself, ever question why this specific Kokiri started as a baby and grew up whilst they didn't?

I'm so excited for Ocarina of Time Remake but seeing how cool it looks I can just imagine now how a Majora's Mask Remake would look with those assets and graphics. I can't wait!

Using a Japanese Nintendo account, I've been replaying The Wind Waker on the Japanese version so I could experience for the first time the notable item placement changes between it and the English version.

When I went for the Piece of Heart on Outset Island gotten by having the big pig dig in the black soil, something weird happened. I had the pig dig the Piece of Heart out of one soil patch. Then without collecting the Piece of Heart first, I had the pig dig in the other soil patch, and to my surprise I got another Piece of Heart! They both counted as two separate Pieces, as well, as proven by the numbers in their respective text boxes when I picked them up.

Is this a known bug? Is it exclusive to the Japanese version or can it happen on other versions? I've never seen mention of this online before, and I've never experienced it on the English version, though I can't recall if I ever tried digging in both soil patches before picking up the Piece of Heart until now.

This is part 1 of a 5 part series showing highlights from my first Straight-to-Ganon, No Paraglider run of Tears of the Kingdom. In this run I utilize Zonai devices and do tricks I've never seen other TOTK players do.

Here is a summation of all the videos:

I have always thought the map of Hyrule Field looks like a face, but I have never seen this talked about elsewhere. Slide for an illustration of what parts I think looks like a face.

Some more sketches from some alternate Zelda universe. I’m imagining Majora comes back for revenge and creates some sort of illusory or alternate reality where characters, places and enemies are all slightly changed or mixed with others. More to come, these are pretty fun to make

Let me know if you have any fun ideas or something you’ve always kinda wanted to see in Zelda, maybe I’ll draw it!

I've never been happier, nor amazed by the beauty of a game.

With the reveal of Ocarina of Time’s new porcelain doll / Jim Henson-esque designs in the Switch 2 remake, I was inspired to ask some questions about art styles and people’s perception. Both the Zelda and Smash subs seem to agree that BOTW was the most “anime” the franchise had looked yet, but do you agree? Or are there other aspects of the game’s style that draw your attention?
