While the art style of the CD-i Zelda games are often point of
discussion, it has also created a very special fan-art style by the
community. Several artists who are fan of the genre have specifically
created a #cdilink character and a #cdizelda character, inspired on the
cartoon style of the movie sequences in Link: Faces of Evil and Zelda:
Wand of Gamelon on CD-i. These games were originally published by
Philips Media in 1993 and officially licensed by Nintendo. Producer
Animation Magic tried to make these game unique in their own respect and
outsourced the cartoon-style movies so they could focus on the
gameplay. The end product resulted in Zelda games that could not compete
with the actual Nintendo products, but the fact that original Nintendo
IP was released on a Philips CD-i console always made these games
popular (the games itself are widely considered subpar, but at least the
style is used so much that it is remarkable to see these games are so
well-known even today.) It even attracted artists to give their own turn
on the specific style of CD- Link and CD-i Zelda, which I find really
amazing. CD-i member Paku took his turn and created this nicely created poster of the world of CD-i Zelda, from Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon.
