This must be heaven, since it’s impossible

More Zelda! This is, from left to right, Link II, Princess Zelda from Link II’s time, Raven, Link III, and Rana. This incongruous meeting is of all my favourite Zelda characters, I suppose, of that time… Sorry about Zelda. She was nice, but the scanner wasn’t big enough. Rana looks wierd. The Links look good.

The other day when thinking about the Oracle of Ages manga, I realized how well the backgrounds were drawn. It really seems like Raven comes from a medieval era, and Link comes from an era that is still medieval but is more civilized, in the appearance of the buildings and the roads and so on. Also, in the ‘future’, there is no monarchy of Labrynna, which adds to the ‘modern’ feel of the ‘future’. Raven comments on the industrious, pleasant look of the future on one page when he is rescued briefly to that time. Also a couple of other plot points make the earlier Labrynna feel more… like a pioneering, budding village. A farming village.
