Why do u think Link ( or maybe even someone else) drew the picture on his house?
It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember a bit of what it was like...can you get a screenshot of it?
I drew a sketch of it. I don't have a scanner, but I'll try to describe it in words.
Okay, in the upper left part of the etching was a few lines that looked like a "u" inside of a "u," and the opening was facing southwest. A little bit below and to the right of this was what appeared to be a man holding a sword and a shield with an emblem on it. It wasn't very detailed; the head and upper body were squares, with no facial features on the head. The legs, one arm, and sword were nothing but straight lines, and the shield was a diamond. The emblem on the shield was a "v" on it's side with the point pointing east (or right). To the right of this etching was a dinosaurish looking creature with what appears to be spikes on the back.
Since it's Link's tree house, I would guess that he drew it when he got bored one day. And I also think that it's prophetic, but Link was just daydreaming when he drew it, not really knowing what the feature held for him.
To me, I think the the u inside the u could be a faerie. The guy with the sword and shield could be Link, and the dinosaur-like creature is a monster Link is fighting.
Like I said, I think Link was just daydreaming when he etched this picture on it, but it very well could've ended up being prophetic.
I think that U thing is a fairy, and I remember reading somewhere that Link and Saria drew it together ...
If you ever find where you read that, please share it with us.
Ever noticed that the monster on it looks like ganon? I think its a drawing of Link fighting Ganon
It looks more like Godzilla than Ganon.
I agree with CA. Ganon has never came close to looking like a dinosaur.
I believe I read it in an issue of Nintendo Power, but I got rid of all of those that I had long ago.
Well, that's could be considered canon, if Nintendo said so.
what about after he transformed? He did have a tail then...although it is hard to get all of him in a pic since he's so huge after transforming...
And he moves too fast to get far away to get a decent image.
I'll take a picture of it and post it. Ok?
I think it's an interesting Easter Egg that perhaps havent been cracked yet? I mean, Link does fight off quite a lot of dragons, but none of them looks like that type of dragon.
Perhaps it was but a downscetched daydream that he once would have to fight some big monster. If we take the drawing, and eliminate the possibility of a dragon, I'd say it's Ganon he's fighting.
But I'm far out of the Zelda nowadays, I need to get down there and play some more. I havent bought my Nintendo Wii yet, and Twilight Princess. :(
But I will eventually get there as well, I just have enough of other stuff to spend my money on.
What? Ganon looks nothing like that drawing. What are you talking about? It's just monster, not Ganon specifically.
I don't see why everyone's making such a big deal out of this. Kids draw things all the time. I don't think it means anything.
But like I said: I think it's Godzilla. ;D
Lol :D I think it's Ganon. Because, remember? At the end of the game, and final form of Ganon, he looks like a dragon kinda. :)
Ganon looks like a reptilian pig-man. The drawing on the tree looks more like a dinosaur/Godzilla thing.
It's an outline for a new movie they plan.
Godzilla vs. tight-wearing fairyboy.
:P
Getting serious, when or if Link drew it, he most likely wasn't thinking Ganon. Prophetically, it probably is Ganon, but I highly doubt it was meant to represent Ganon.
Link couldn't have drawn a picture of Ganon, because he had never seen him before. He'd seen Ganondorf in his dreams, but not Ganon. He was just imagining fighting a big monster, and drew a picture of it. It's supposed to forshadow Link's future as a hero, but it's not meant to depict him fighting Ganon specifically.
And Ganon does not look like a dinosaur, nor a dragon. At all. Go play the game again. He looks nothing like Godzilla. Goodness.
yes, foreshadowing is never specific, that would be boring, no? Just like the Revolutionary War was predicted, though I can't remember by who, but he didn't know who would fight or any specifics.
Um, Evahn, I believe CA was saying that the creature in the sketching look like Godzilla.
Oh, I know, I'm saying Ganon doesn't look like Godzilla, but that the drawing does.

I was merely saying that IF we look away from the Dragonish appearance of the creature, it's more like Ganon than the other creatures you encounter in that spesific game. He's on two feet, and has "hands" not paws. More clawlike hands than just hands as well.
Perhaps it has something to do with his nightmares? Or something else. I didn't say he looked like Ganon, just that Ganon acts the same way that the creature in the drawing acts like.
But then again it seems weird that he holds the shield with the kokiri emerald symbol on it. So actually I dont know. I just mentioned a possobility, though it is a bit thin.
It might just be an easter egg, and nothing more. Nothing to be cracked, nothing special, just a nice easter eggy carving.
I say Link was a little kid once.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but... little kids draw on walls and stuff, especially when they don't have any friends.
If you remember, Mido and the other kokiri, save for Saria, used to pick on him and not let him play games with them. (Well, in game, it may not be EXACTLY like that, but...) And thus, with no one to play with, he decided to let his imagination run wild on a tree trunk.
I'm not saying the image couldn't be prophetic, either. It very well could be. But I seriously doubt Link said "Hm, maybe I will fight a gigantic monster!"
I think the faerie was put in there because he really wanted to be a Kokiri, and they all had faeries. The Kokiri/Deku shield? He wanted to prove he was worth something by drawing himself as a hero, vanquishing a gigantic monster that threatened them or something.
It really could be anything, though.
Yeah. Link could've drew me fighting Godzilla. :P
Awesome Fishalicious! Brilliant point!
Though I want it to be him dreaming he's fighting something and then drew it down, as a sign of his courage. I just want to stay with my happy-thought a bit longer. Please dont steal my happy away? :)
I think it reflecs Godzilla. After all most of thos movies were made in Japan, just like TLOZ.
It was a dark and stormy night, and all the Japaneas kids were snug in thier beds when suddenly Godzilla rose out of Tokyo Bay once more and began terorizing Tokyo. He stode across the city wreaking houses, buisnesses and sushi bars. Then a white kid with poiunted ears and a real obsession with green clothes began to do battle with Godzilla. Will Link prevail, or will Godzilla destroy him?
Tune in next week right after cooking with Anju. ;D ;D ;D

WAHAHA! ;D
How come your posts get doubled anyway?
I dunno. Until you pointed it out I didn't even know they were doubleing. I think my computer is messed up.
you are probably double clicking when it takes too long to post.
But that shouldn't post the post twice..
TEST
No, it does happen.
Didn't happend to me there either. So it's not the double clicking. I clicked five times ;)
NE one else notice that Link's story resembles Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer? (at least the beginning)
Well, if Rudolf got three magical objects, got tricked by an evil sorcerer to be frozen in time for seven years, go back and forth through time, rescue seven sages, and use a very powerful sword to kill the same evil sorcerer, it'd be like Links.
I thought Rudoplh had no friends. Link had at least Saria. In fact, the only one who acts at all like he hates Link is Mido. The only reason people think everyone hated Link was because Mido hated him. All Kokiri besides Mido and Saria either like him or just aren't friends with him, they don't hate him.
Well Rudolph had a doe that liked him.
....Saria
But every other reindeer hated him, as said, only Mido is known to hate him.
we should probably make a topic about this lol
i think it looks like a young child's version of ganon
Not to be rude or anything, but its King Dodongo.
My, how rude! (http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/Commodore_Axilon/Forum%20Crap/monocle.gif)
But seriously, why exactly is it King Dodongo? It doesn't really look like him, nor does Link even know about him.
People said it looked like Godzilla. King Dodongo is the only Godzilla-esque boss in the game. And, Link had the dream about Ganon, didn't he? No one said the dreams could encompass more, not to mention the Know-it-all brothers could've told him.
Whatever, I really don't care. I just thought it odd you'd say it with any sense of finality.
If I remember correctly, it looked like Link was fighting Dodongo...
