With the specific drawing style as well as the exclusive CD-i costumes, both 'CD-i Link' as 'CD-i Zelda' have become characters of its own in the Zelda Universe. The internet is full of people who either like or dislike this, but the fact remains these titles are officially licensed by Nintendo and they were even involved in parts like providing the cover art. Now with the celebration of Zelda's 35th anniversary on February 21st, lots of Zelda fanart pops up. Some of these 'compilation's include parts of thr CD-i titles, which we of course love and want to give some extra attention. The best one we've seen is this Link compilation made by あんり:
Also CD-i member Princey Triangle made a compilation of her Zelda drawings: Can you spot CD-i Zelda?

[Thanks, あんり, Princey Triangle]
