to the guy below me
His name is Link not Zelda.
Anyway, I personally prefer the art this way, it makes it look more epic. I'm a major Zelda fan, so your description made me smile. xP
Only thing though is that maybe you should've added something to Link to make him pop out more because the boarder doesn't really seem to do much. The gray helps but it all sorta blends together. Maybe shade with gray and black?
