Zelda: Link's Awakening Remake

Description

EDIT - Looks like this one ended up on Kotaku! Thanks guys! However, I'd like to address a couple of things that seem to make people confused (in case people actually end up here):

Q. Why does Link look so weird? It doesn't look like Link at all!

A. Isn't it wonderful? It's much more fun to draw characters like Nintendo never would make them. Since I'm not, you know, actually remaking this game.

Q. Why is it still green? There was a color remake for GBC you know. This should have color too.

A. I know there was a remake, but again, it was more fun to draw it this way. I'm not trying to be logical here - I just never played the color version, and for me this is how the game should look.

I re-imagined a screenshot from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Game Boy as a newer game in the same style!

Made for Swedish gaming magazine LEVEL. This is actually my favorite game of all time, so it was real fun to draw.

Wow!  This is great! :D  I did a GB to screen shot redux as well.  I like yours much better.  So clean :) <3
