Zelda Items: First five from The Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure

Here are the first five items from The Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure.

Power Glove: This heavy metal glove could be a powerful gauntlet, part of a set of armor that needs to be reassembled, or an animated hand monster. This could even be a fantasy power fist for those pillaging ideas from the Fallout series. 

Cards: All the items from The Legend of Zelda and two card back options

All the item cards for the Legend of Zelda collected in one place.

Here are two different card backs. 

The single elegant tentacle. I wanted an art back to use if I ever wanted to have a personally made set of cards. This is image would also work as a back for digital cards on programs like Roll20 or Tabletop Simulator. The corners may have to be rounded to look right in those situations.

A template to record important information. One could pre fill the information in the spaces and have the items get handed out or let the players fill in the space with their notes. Unidentified items could have blank backs that are only filled in when they are identified. This is a pretty easy way to remember which items have been identified and which haven't. 

If you want a single file with all the cards for the first game, you can find it here. The file also includes a sheet of both card backs. If you want to print out the cards, you can either print out double sided copies with a little bit of work on your end or print out a single set of the card fronts and as many card backs as you need. I generally do the later in because I can slip the two sides of the card into a card protector. Lighter weight paper does allow the reverse side of the card to be seen in certain lights. To avoid this, you can put a thicker spacer between the two sides of the card or print the cards out on heavier weight paper. 

I will be back next week with the first five items from The Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure. 

As always, use my work for your personal enjoyment as much as you like but please don't take credit for my work.

I'm not an artist: Six items to close out The Legend of Zelda.

We made it! This is the final set of images from The Legend of Zelda. To celebrate the occasion I have included six images instead of the five I usually post. 

Magical Rod: This is about as true to the original 8 (?) bit image as it could be. This is a great entry-level magic rod that any caster or gifted dilettante earns as a reward for completing their first adventure. The basic design allows for this to be tied to any school of magic or specialty. 

I am not an artist: Penultimate items from the Legend of Zelda

The second to last set of items from The Legend of Zelda.

Food: An unrealistic hunk of meat on an anonymous bone. It is easy to use this as a distraction or monster bait in the same way it is used in the game.  It could also be a snack of healing after taking too many hits, one of the many food items in ICRPG, or a novelty weapon perfect for a flesh eating monster.

I'm not an artist: Another month, another five items from The Legend of Zelda

Happy Easter Fools Day. Another five items from The Legend of Zelda drawn by me.

Magical Boomerang: The dot on the gem at the center was supposed to be a highlight. Now that I look at it after some time away, I sort of get a Cylon eye vibe. This boomerang could be intelligent or be controlled mentally like a RC drone. You could even use this as a sort of surveillance device that allows the user to look out from the perspective of the gem as it flies.
