DokoroNuki, 7 months ago to Zelda

I loved how they redid just about all the concept (instruction manual?) art for the GBA version of Zelda: A Link to the Past to be more modernized. It’s really fun to look through all the art style changes.

This doesn’t generally happen nowadays because companies don't tend to go back and just redo all the concept art to be more modern-style with the originals as reference.

Two more sets of concept art images from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The top two are pictures of Link escorting Zelda, in her civilian clothes, through the underground path to presumably the Sanctuary in Hyrule. The bottom two are pictures of Link in a battle-ready stance with his sword and shield out. The left ones are the old style from the 90s, the right ones are the redone, newer style from the GBA port.
Concept/instruction manual art from Zelda: A Link to the Past. The left side is the old style, the right side is the new style. From left to right and top to bottom of both sides: Link ready to fire an arrow from his bow, Link blocking a projectile with his shield, Link swimming with the Zora's Flippers, Link lifting up a pot, and Link pulling on a chain.
The top two images are an illustrated picture of Zelda attempting to contact Link at the beginning of the game for help. The left one has a dialogue reading "Help me... My name is Zelda... I am in the castle dungeon." The bottom two images are of Link fighting a sand enemy in the desert in a dramatic pose. Left is old art style, Right is new.
