If you’ve ever wondered what classic game art might look like if it was brought to life, well here’s a great example. American animator Parker Simmons<\/a> has transformed parts of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past<\/a> SNES manual and other materials into living, breathing animations.<\/p>\n

The results are absolutely stunning – with artwork of the Super Nintendo action-adventure from 1991 bursting to life. It’s got many Zelda fans on social media requesting an official cartoon in this style, rather than the one we actually got<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simmons reveals the ‘Link vs Stalfos’ battle was animated in Adobe Animate, had about 110 symbols, 70 frames, and the music was taken from the “Sound and Drama” Zelda CD from the ’90s. Perhaps most surprisingly, the SFX is ripped from Dragon Quest VIII<\/a>, but it fits! Note: It seems this original art was retrieved from The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts<\/a> Dark Horse book released 2016\/17.<\/p>\n
