Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Transformed Into Stunning Studio Ghibli-Inspired Poster - Nintendo Life

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sparked many creative fan projects since it was released and the latest one that's caught the attention of many fans online is a Studio Ghibli-inspired poster by the illustrator and Twitter user, @BigSkyCastle?

As you can see, it's a simple but stunning image of Princess Zelda and Link recreated in the style of Hayao Miyazaki's iconic animated films.

If you like the look of this poster, you can even order a print of it on inprnt.

In 2016, an animator by the name of Matt Vince uploaded a Zelda x Studio Ghibli animated movie trailer - giving fans an idea of what a proper Zelda series could potentially look like.

Would you like to see Zelda one day turned into a full-on anime movie or series.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.

Link looks very skinny, like very Bishojo style.

Those characters don't look like Ghibli designs to me.

Zelda looks fine but Link looks all kinds of wrong there.

Ghibli inspired this may be, but worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as them it isn’t.

Some way short of the Ghibli mark, in all honesty, "inspired by" or not.

The characters look closer to mid-80s Hanna-Barbera!

I guess the illustrator hasn't watched many Ghibli movies.

While this definitely isn't bad by any means, I don't understand why you would compare this to Studio Ghibli.

Never heard of Ghibli but this reminds me most of all of certain older 80's/90's cartoons for some reason.

It sort of looks like he is punching himself in the head.

Link kinda looks more like someone out of Dragon’s Lair but Zelda nails the Ghibli look, specifically in her face.

It’s not like you get people on Twitter painting apples and peaches and saying to people that they’ve nailed the Cezanne look.

Also Link's hand up by his head looks backwards..

This looks bad, I think I can make a better drawing.

Very nice art, but it doesn’t scream GHIBLI?

Miyazaki’s characters have a very distinct look you’ll see throughout his projects?

Zelda and Link here don’t seem to fit that style?

It's nice, but as others have said it's not very Ghibli (well, Miyazaki at least).

I feel like the in-game models bear a closer resemblance to Ghibli than this image.

PS and IX are discussing new games and here we are discussing vaguely familiar fanart for a 3.5 year old game.

I’ve seen plenty fan art that is done in a distinctive style or a new take, just look at the God of War art guy they put on this site every two weeks.

This isn't simply for contrarianism here, I am asking you these questions because you and every other person I see who talks like this seems to have this idea that there is some distinct, palpable goal point that every artist should strive for that defines when they are worth taking a look at, when reality has informed me differently, pretty much everywhere.

It's almost as if the artist was inspired by those Breath of the Wild mods, one of which actually does feature a crazy elongated Link figure...

@Yosher Never heard of Ghibli.

@nessisonett Most, if not all Studio Ghibli movies are good, but Princess Mononoke remains my personal favorite

This looks nothing like Ghibli

I'm preaching to the choir; while I don't care for Link's design, I really do like the background
