Phantom Hourglass scene
I think we definitely need a featured image from the most recent game in the series, and I really like this one. Having said that, I couldn't decide which version to choose, so I've decided to leave the decision up to you! When voting in support, please start votes with A: or B: to indicate your preference.

- A. I think it's a pretty cool picture and there hasn't been too many featured PH nominations yet!ZeldaGirl96 20:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- A: I gotta admit, I like this image a lot. User:Ando/sig 21:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- I love option A, its faded borders zooming in on the main characters is simply epic. User:MARKOL/sig 17:30, 16 August 2008 (EST)
- A, I have only played Phantom Hourglass at Best Buy but I think we need a picture from the most recennt game. I also appreciate that Link's shield has the crayfish/lobster on it like his pajamas in Wind Waker.CoreyPotter 19:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- Option B would be a good picture to display. The cover of PH is quite nice, giving a good first impression of what to expect of the game. Angmar 07:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- Option A is really awesome. I was gonna accept with Angmar but then again out of five people only one person chose for the other picture (sorry Angmar). That is why I checked Option A and it did look much better. That is why I vote for Option A. Akki 18:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- '"A'". It not only is cool, but who wants a huge logo to break the scene?Dekuta 15:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Deku Royal Family
A nicely sized picture of the Dekus, which I think are probably the most interesting race in the Zelda world. It really shows the artistic style of Majora's Mask.Corey Lord of Tacos! 19:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- A very interesting nomination! I have to agree, I would like to see this featured. Thus far, we have no pictures depicting Deku Scrubs primarially, and the only picture that does feature one is Deku Link, hiding in the background for the MM picture. So, first vote! --Felicia's Champion 23:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Great nomination! I've always liked these characters and this image, and with a some work by MARKOL and myself, it's now of the best quality possible! User:Adamcox82/sig 11:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've always loved this image. It's about time it got nominated. User:Twili Goddess/sig
- Deku Scrubs have always been cool in my book and Majora's Mask really did good for them, giving them a castle and royal family and even letting you play as one, so this gets my vote --Kresh64 19:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Deku Scrubs are cute and one of my favorite enemys.--Article and Picture Voter 01:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I don't really see what is so impressive about this image. It is rather bland and not particularly interesting. It doesn't really stand out among the vast number of images on this site. It is no more interesting than most others. Too simple to be featured.User:Mjr162006/sig 03:17, September 27, 2008 (UTC)
- This picture does show anything particuarly interesting. It does not show you you something important. The image leaves something to be desired, and is also simple to the point where the larger portion of the pictures on this web address are more interesting. the flaws are too great for it to be featured.Kingbulbin 11:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Faron
This is the Light Spirit Faron. This a great image. This was made transparent by MARKOL. Excellent work.User:Mjr162006/sig 01:12, October 3, 2008 (UTC)
- Important Notice:
- This nomination is an experiment in a new policy. It is intended as a replacement for the existing image Faron Art.jpg. If this image is voted in, the old one will automatically be disqualified and the new one will replace it on every single page that the old one was on, save for this one.
To truly see this image in its full glory, click on it to go to its page. It is much better there than this tiny preview here is.
IMPORTANT: We are in the process of updating this image to address certain issues that have been pointed. Please hold off voting until these updates are complete.
- Contrary to my original, withdrawn vote, after looking at the enlarged version of this picture I find that this picture is a very beautiful picture, much better than the original. The small version shown here may look very average, but it's anything but once clicked on. --Felicia's Champion 11:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- COMMENTS
- OK, I can't vote either way on this. While I love the new image, and disliked the background of the old one, my problem is that the new render isn't true to the original. My favourite part of this image (and all the light spirits) was the shafts of light radiating outwards from the sphere. But uinfortunately that element is lost on the new version, and somehow replaced with other lighting effects I can't even see in the original. Some of the magic is lost for me, so for that reason I can't support it. User:Adamcox82/sig 05:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think I can create an image with the shafts of light back. If you've noticed my custom logos on my userpage, then you'll see that I have some experience in that area. I'll give it a try later today.User:Mjr162006/sig 06:37, October 16, 2008 (UTC)
Link at Sea
There is only one other image of Link's Awakening featured. That one is small and doesn't actually have a moment from the game. This one does. It is of Link struggling to keep his boat afloat as seen in the game's opening. This image came from the Nintendo Guide for the game. It was monochrome, except for the lamp glow. I colored it based on the colors of those objects in the game. It took a lot of work to fix up this image. It looks good and it was worked into the Link's Awakening page very well. There is a lot of drama in the image. Good to feature.User:Mjr162006/sig 07:28, October 19, 2008 (UTC)
- . I would support this because it's interesting, nice colors, lot of drama. It's unique because of the action being portrayed, a good image. Aye, I'm in favorThe Sage of Cosmos 13:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- I oppose this because when i look at it i can't make out what it is, its just not interesting.HeroOfTime6 10:05, 1 November 2008
- I had to click on the picture to see what it actually was. I thought the lantern was Navi. My interest is also not sparked. --HeroOfTheWinds10 19:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Comments
- I'd just like to point out that complaining about a thumbnail is not a good thing to do. It says nothing about the image. If any other two people agree with me we'll cancel out these votes.User:Mjr162006/sig 19:56, November 7, 2008 (UTC)
- Remember, you're voting on the image, not the image's thumbnail! ;) User:Ando/sig 21:20, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- You seem to have this thing where when somebody votes against something you have nominated or support, those votes are invalid. HeroOfTime6 said that the picture is not interesting and he couldn't really make out what is is. I don't see how that vote could be invalid. Also, HeroOfTheWinds10 opposed not only because of thumbnail, he also said it was not interesting. Both those votes seem valid to me.--Link hero of light 00:00, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- I don't believe anyone said that the said votes were invalid. But you can't judge from just looking at the thumbnail. I actually thought the image was interesting.The Sage of Cosmos 00:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- That is a coincidence. They voted on the thumbnail not the image. That makes them invalid. End of story. (The image was displayed a lot smaller than this when they voted.)User:Mjr162006/sig 00:10, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
- On a side note, those other votes WERE invalid. I would have done the same thing regardless of whether or not I supported the image. We just didn't have this process of invalidating them yet.User:Mjr162006/sig 00:14, November 8, 2008 (UTC)

Matt, you don't seem to get what I'm trying to tell you, the thumbnai wasn't the only thing HeroOfTheWinds10 voted on. And HeroOfTime6 didn't mention anything about the size. However the picture is quite interesting, if it wasn't so topsy-turvey it would have my vote.--Link hero of light 00:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
