Zelda Cover Art Ranked
Might have possibly missed a spin-off or two, but every mainline title should be present.

Very simplistic, but portrays the Human/Wolf dynamic very well. I love the ornaments in the background.
1
All the details in this one are just great.
2
Midna and Link in the front are in the way, I wish the cover art would focus more on the "painting" aspect in the background, since that's really cool.
8
I wish the European box art was on here.
9
The sword looks cool.
15
The gold is too in-your-face for my likings.
17
I like how the different colors are fading into each other, but something still feels a little off about the picture as a whole.
18
The PNGs of Ghirahim and Fi feel a bit shoehorned in.
21
Something about this one is just really infuriating, but that's the vibe it's going for, making it automatically a bit better.
28
Too cramped.
29
These colors don't mix well...

Twilight Princess number 1, definitively correct
Twillight Princess on number 1, no complains there. Cant say Im overally fond of the 3DS cover for Majors Mask. I never found that it represents the games art style very well.
@NovaNiles Entirely fair and I can see where you're coming from! Never even thought about it that way, just always saw it as a nice compilation of the game with a focus on some important (side) characters.
@Lemonstrade It is definitly a really nice collage of the games characters but overall I think its too clean if that makes any sense. Its an issue have with the remakes graphics to a lesser extend aswell. When I think of MM I always think about its weird pointy angles, weird faces and distorted textures. I know the limitations of the N64 are kinda responsible for this but it weirdly works in this case. Like Termina doesnt feel quit right, almost like the gods of hyrule created about 70% of it and then just said "good enough, i guess", leaving it in this weird unfinished limbo.
@novaniles ngl I agree, I like the original JP MM art more with its darker tone and shading
@NOWITSREYNTIME17 Just looked it up and Woah ok. I knew about this artwork but I didnt know they used it for the official boxart in Japan. Thats really cool and basicly exacly what I would want out of a MM cover. Why didnt they use something like that for 3DS, seriously.
@novaniles I KNOW RIGHT, would've been epic. The JP OOT art is also amazing too
@NOWITSREYNTIME17 JP OOT art is definitly amazing but I also like the NA one too. That gold box just has something about it.
I very much agree with this ranking. I recently finished MM3D and I think the cover art is fantastic, also one of my favorites. In the case of A Link Between Worlds, I like the cover, but I prefer the Japanese version, as the American cover removes all the colors and puts everything in gold. And yes, Twilight Princess is the best, that great art style has never been matched so far
Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is way too low
@bitterbatterdog Thanks for the suggestion, bumped it up a notch!
Do you actually prefer the EU box art for BOTW?
@The_Gaming_Dog12 Yeah, but I think the American one is great as well in its own way. I guess something about the colorful pastel look of the EU cover is just really appealing to me.
Nah that’s fair, imma sound like scott the woz, but I like how link is looking out to the world, which is what the whole game is about
