With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom being announced and coming soon, I decided to look at the Triforce Wielder images to see how they hold since 2016/2017. And I have to say, they haven't aged well:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_ganon.png

For the record, I did the last two images (Zelda and Ganon) to emulate the Link image above (down to selecting versions of the characters that best match with each incarnation of Link and art style. And I find myself thinking it could use a lot of work, but it wasn't until Echoes of Wisdom showed both Zelda and Ganon that I finally decided it's time to update all of these collages. I chose the following games to represent all characters (and their alter-egos): Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, The Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, Hyrule Warriors, and Link's Awakening/Echoes of Wisdom.

My suggestions:

I'm fine with that. Maybe one day we will have an official art with all Link, Zelda and Ganondorf incarnations

The suggestion for Ganondorf looks very messy on wikisize and has too much empty space on the right. The suggestions for Link and Zelda on the other hand look good, so [tup] to those two.

Weak [tup] to Link and Zelda, [tdown] to Ganondorf for the reasons already said by [up][up]. It's too cluttered.

[down] 8.2 is much better.

Here's an updated Ganon collage.

UPDATE: Slight modification of OOT Ganon's position.

[up] I guess that's better. [tup] to 8.2 for Ganondorf.

I have to say I'm not enamored with the idea of the fanmade collages. Each game already has a character sheet that could host each individual design/art, and I don't like the idea of continuously needing to update it with each new installment. I'd rather pick one for each that hits the major design beats, and note in the caption which game it comes from.

[up] Picking one image is not an option for Ganon/Ganondorf. He's either a Pig Man demon or a muscular Gerudo man. And the Gerudo man is the more popular image, but the Pig Man is still used by Nintendo as evident by Echoes of Wisdom. At minimal, he would need two images for each form.

Sure, 2 is still preferable to like 10.

I want to agree, I really do, because I have similar feelings on the matter, but I don't think that is really possible.

There is no one Link, one Zelda, or one Ganon, so one image for each other isn't really gonna do a good job representing them, as the designs are inconsistent and prone to changing every game. Not even Iconic Outfits are safe from being changed anymore if BoTW is any indication. This isn't like most character pages, where we only have one character or what not.

That said, I don't like having to cram in every single design from every game into one. If we're gonna do collages, than I feel it's better to streamline things and stick with the most noteworthy/iconic versions. Like so:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_6900_1.png


https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_6899_5.png

Here, classic Zelda, modern Zelda, Toon Zelda, and Bo TW-ToTK Zelda are all represented here. It's not every design, but most of the important basis' are covered here.

Otherwise, I'm just gonna go with either keeping current or even just cutting them entirely and keep it no image for now.

[up] I would prefer if all the Links, Zeldas, and Ganons match. If I have to make categories:

Classic: ALTTP
3D Classic: Ocarina of Time
Toon: The Wind Waker
Open-World: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

I strongly prefer the current Ganon/Ganondorf image to the suggestions. He doesn't have that many design changes anyway, and the current already displays all of his major forms — at most it needs a size update and maybe some adjustment to what is placed where. Also, the suggestions are cluttered and visually messy. In particular, half of the designs in 13.3 are so occluded that I can barely see them.

Link and Zelda... eh, they could use less wasted empty space. The suggestions in 13 are fine. I like that the Zelda one keeps itself to just four versions, it's economical.

[up] Well, I wanted the demonic Demon King form of Ganondorf from Tears of the Kingdom since I thought that design was far more distinct, but the only artwork of Demon Ganondorf is that image combination. It's also not complete, so I had to cover the edges with Ocarina of Time Ganondorf and Ganon.

Zelda, I initially tried one image from TOTK, but it didn't feel like it completed the ensemble because it was too thin and too idle to feel interesting.
