I think a cropped side by side of Link holding the book above his head and Ganon cowering made to look like a single shot would work. The advantage is that the artifact is easier to see.

[down] I use PNG's over JPG's whenever possible. There's also PNG Gauntlet and TinyPNG.

Also, since I see you were using PNGs before, you can run PNGs through OptiPNG to try and shrink the file size beneath that threshold, as well. It doesn't always pan out, but if you're JUST over the limit, it can't hurt to try.

If you cut the first or second, but it's still lower quality than the other images of the same frames.

Thing is I think you need all three for context. As pointed out earlier in the second you can't clearly see the jewels as objects. In the first there's no rainbow which is what is being shown in the 3rd.

Cut the second. You can't really see the rainbow in it anyway.

Three panels is way too much. Even at two, I don't really care for the image but it seems like the flow of the thread is for it.

Bump. This one's been sitting for a pretty long while. Is everyone good with the Elements of Harmony? I could always whip up a good pic of the Book of Koradai defeating Ganon if not.

Quite honestly, I don't think any of the suggestions made so far illustrate the trope well.

What I'd expect to see would be a side-on shot of someone holding an artifact like a big diamond and a beam coming out of that object hitting an obviously frightened obvious villain. Villain starting to dissolve is optional.

Having said that, if a poor image is better than none, then go with the most popular of what's already been suggested.

Or
The only way to defeat Ganon is by...
throwing a book at him?

[up] That, to me, is much more clear than the MLP suggestion.

[up][up] Definitely much more clear, plus it's hilariously bad. Gets my support.

That works. Ugly image but gets the point across.

Do it. Though the size issues are still present.

[up] It should be the right size if you open the image in a separate tab. I'm so sick of images over 300 being shrunk. It seems like nothing is being done about it.

[down]That's why I'm posting the link. We can't be the only two who are tired of this problem.

35 works for me. A quote making it clear it's Link beating Ganon by throwing a book at him would help, whether it's funny or serious. I kind of like the "throwing the book at him" joke.

One or two more votes for the Link pic and we can run with it.

Another vote for 35, with the caption from 40.

There's good consensus on both, so both image and caption are up.
