600dpi Scans of the German Club Nintendo, Ocarina of Time Special, 1998

I didn't realize there weren't really good scans of this online until someone asked me. I just assumed there were. This is still a quick and dirty scan done with my ADF so someone could translate the interview. I hope to make nicer scans with my flatbed in the future.

Find the full volume here.

You can go here to read the comic in English, and someone uploaded those here so they are easier to read.


Here is the English version of the interview.

May 1998 by Nintendo of Europe GmbH and Nintendo Co. Ltd, Published in Club Nintendo OoT Special. Comic Art: Work House Co. Ltd., Tokyo

You will notice "Work House/Workhouse." They did a bunch of Nintendo Power art and was where Katsuya Terada did his Zelda work from. In the early 00's I had originally thought these were done by a German artist so I just wanted to point that out in case anyone else had made the same assumption as me. 

Okay, I should be caught up on everything I did but I forgot to post about on Blogger!

Old 600dpi Scans of the Anvil Artbooks by Nobuteru Yuki

I've had these on my site forever but there's a problem with one of the files and they're also not easy to flip through. So after a bunch of people asked I finally got around to just uploading them to Internet Archive. 

• Volume 1 is here.
• Volume 2 is here.
• Volume 3 is here.

They're my old scans though. There's bad bleed-through. I need to do better scans one day.


THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, Volume 1-3
Nobuteruki rough-drawings
Nobuteru Yuki, Yuuki, Nobuteru Yūki, 結城 信輝
These were self-published so there is no ISBN


They contain art for things like: Record of Lodoss War, Vaelber Saga, X by Clamp, Battle Angel Alita, Gunnm, Angel Cop, Wizardry, Escaflowne, Chinese Ghost Story, Kaiser Knuckle, Galaxy Express 999, Beauty and the Beast, Evangellion, Trigun, Street Fighter II, Samurai Spirits, Original Characters, and a bunch of things I'm probably forgetting or simply don't know.

Missing BotW Concept Art of Link's Family from Master Works

I'm still catching up on stuff I forgot to post to blogger that I was posting on Bluesky.

Find the 2400dpi scans of the full pages here.

Find these 2 pieces of art here, cleaned art of "Link's Family," and here, cleaned art of "Link and a cape-clad girl, possibly his sister."

In the Japanese artbook for Breath of the Wild, Master Works, there's art on the back pages of the book that doesn't appear on the English version. Two of the more prominent sketches are this first one, labeled "Family" and then the one below it that appears to show the same girl. Or the same concept of there being a girl possibly being something like Link's sister. These pieces were posted online before, in fact that's how I realized they were in one book but not the other, but I wanted to make higher res scans and then also edit the levels so the yellow was less distracting. These aren't the only missing pieces, there's a bunch of other cool little sketches on those pages, unfortunately most are covered by other images or had a blur applied to them. 

2400dpi Scans of 2018 Zelda Concert Folders and Art

This art was done for Zelda Concert promotion and it is stunning. It features Skyward Sword Zelda, Ocarina of Time Link, and Breath of the Wild Link, all in the Breath of the Wild style.

Find the 2400dpi scans here.

Sadly the only digital versions of these that I can find are pretty small so a while ago Ikhana, the collector, was kind enough to make great scans from her own collection and send them to me. I don't always do this, but since I liked them so much, I decided I would try to get them and make even higher quality ones. I have since been able to piece the set together with more affordable auctions.

I forgot to post about this here. This is a strategy guide for Zelda 1-3, Hyrule Fantasy, Adventure of Link, and A Link to the Past. I have to avoid certain keywords or a bot sends out an automated take-down to blogger for a work by a different publisher and artist.
