LoZ1--Gleeok.jpgLoZ1 Gleeok552 viewsThe dragon, Gleeok. In this case, it is (or WAS) three headed. And two of the heads (including the severed one flying about) is missing their mustaches--maybe Link gave them a shave when going for the heads.
Anyway, I used the official art as my reference.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2_Fairy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Fairy Spell487 viewsLink probably had trouble getting the keys, so he's using the Fairy Spell to get through a door in the Maze Palace, in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
Sprites, official art, and screenshots were references (as well as artistic license). See "Zelda 2 AoL Shield Spell" for why the name of the spell is not in the artwork itself.DBoyWheeler

LoZ1--Manhandla.jpgLoZ1 Manhandla479 viewsThat pain in the tail Piranha Plant wannabe, Manhandla. I mean it--even the Magic Shield is no match for this weed. Your only hope is to use a bomb to kill it in one hit! Anyway, here's Manhandla.
My main reference was the official art in the manual.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2_Shield.jpgZelda 2 AoL Shield Spell477 viewsThe Shield Spell from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. Link is using it in Parapa Desert to get to the first Palace.
Now, I know that usually there should be the name of the spell here, but I forgot to put it up, and didn't realize it until I completed Jump Spell... by then, it was too late. So the spell artworks in my Zelda 2 stuff won't have the titles within the artworks themselves.
Anyway, as usual, sprites, screenshots, and official art were the references here.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2--Megmut.jpgZelda 2 AoL Megmut474 viewsThe bouncing armadillo, Megmut. Well, the official art (which I used as a reference) of Megmut looks like an armadillo to me.
Anyway, it's another Zelda 2: Adventure of Link enemy.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2_Handy_Glove.jpgZelda 2 AoL Handy Glove474 viewsThe Handy Glove of Zelda 2: Adventure of Link, needed to break blocks.

LoZ2_Magical_Key.jpgZelda 2 AoL Magical Key474 viewsIt may not have a lion head, but the Magical Key in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link has the same purpose as the previous game--opening unlimited numbers of doors in Palaces... you'll need this in Three-Eye Rock Palace!
Here it is in New Kasuto Town.
I used the manual scan for reference for the key.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2SkullWarriorByDBoy.jpgZelda 2 AoL Skull Warrior471 viewsThe Skull Warrior, alias Paratamu, from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.
Here he is patrolling the Midoro (Swamp) Palace. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Midoro Palace is the Skull Warrior's first debut.
Anyway, I used a sprite as the reference, and I once again show how much I suck at drawing skeletons.DBoyWheeler

Ganon.jpgGanon470 viewsThe evil pig demon of DOOM!
I found a reference a long time ago, but I forgot which it was. All I know is it was an official art of Ganon in Zelda 1.DBoyWheeler

LoZ2_Raft.jpgZelda 2 AoL Raft470 viewsThe Raft in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link, waiting in the Island Palace.
You'll need this to get to the other continent and continue the quest for the Triforce of Courage.
I used the instruction manual scan for reference on the raft, and VGMaps.com for reference in the palace... with a little artistic license thrown in.DBoyWheeler
