Link NES Sprite Remake

Ever since I first played The Legend of Zelda as a kid, I always found it extremely interesting trying to figure out what each of the characters and monsters looked like in full art (I did not have the manual, which did show some art). And while there are illustrations out there made by Nintendo, I wanted to take jump at some old NES sprites and remake how I always envisioned them. I felt inspired by cardboard cutouts and Jim Henson puppets (like in Dark Crystal), so I drew and added texture to match that.
