Zelda Fairy Lake

Post by michi »

This has been a long time in the making, but it's finally done. I never did get very far in this game as a kid, but I do vividly recall this scene and thought it'd be a fun one to recreate. Hope you guys like it. I've definitely enjoyed seeing everyone else's projects in this forum. :)

It looks great and I think it is fair to say anyone that has played Zelda has fond memories of the fairies

Cats are awesome, just not when you are cross stitching.

It looks good. I played the nes zelda game but I didn't finish it. I have the book called Tips and Tricks that helps with the game. My boyfriend likes the zelda games. I did a few cross stitches of zelda. Do you mind sharing the pattern for this?

It took me a little under a year to finish, but I worked on it pretty inconsistently. --And yes, the rocks were definitely tedious!

As for the pattern, unfortunately, I'm working off a trial version of "Stitches" (I'm a Mac user), and since it's a trial version, I'm unable to save the pattern in a shareable format. (I can only open the file in the program, and I actually worked off my laptop screen when I made this.)

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I'm already thinking about what game/scene to do next. :D

I must take my hat off to you :hello:

Zelda is one of my all time favorite games. My boyfriend and I only recently beat it so I can relate with everyone else who didn't play it all the way through.

Your work is absolutely beautiful though :) How big is the picture?

amynumba2: Thanks! The stitched section is (roughly) 14" x 12.5". It's in a 16" x 20" frame.
