The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening DX

To commemorate Nintendo's announcement of Link's Awakening remake for the Switch, featuring vibrant toylike visuals, I decided to recreate part of Mabe Village with unwavering commitment to its original aesthetic. As a huge fan of this handheld Zelda game, which I played more than any other, I reveled in bringing some of its charm to 3D life. Translating 2D sprites into models can be an intricate process, often requiring compromises that test one's creativity. In my recreation, the roofs, wall blocks beside the blue house, and stick fences all exhibit slight discrepancies from their original counterparts. Additionally, I had to modify the cliff on the left to resemble a gentle ramp, ensuring it would appear authentic from a top-down perspective. Despite these challenges, I'm thrilled with the outcome and had to exercise restraint to prevent myself from modeling the entire overworld. I look forward to your feedback – it's always invaluable!
