The initial "idea" of this was to redraw legend of zelda sprites based on how i remembered interpreting them as a child looking at a blendy television screen, so they don't all have a point, and then the idea itself got somewhat warped as I added more figures.

I always found the michelin man somewhat disturbing and it matched up well with the mummies that appear without any egyptian tomb context and always face the same direction. Nothing about them makes sense! In the second quest I was afraid of them since they are so powerful and numerous for when you get forced to deal with them.
Likelikes were consistently called "pancakes" or "teeth" in my house but pancakes eventually won out. However in trying to draw them I noticed they started to resemble cartoon steaks. What is important is that they don't look like shield-eating blobs.
The blobs were my favorite monsters when I originally played the game and I made up a dumb song about them. I didn't see any way to misinterpret the form for this but wanted to include one anyway!

Yeah, overall, the first Zelda will always have a special place in my heart. But the sprites weren't always great at conveying what they were supposed to be. To this day I still have no idea what those... white... round... fuzzy looking things are supposed to be. And those dog-looking things holding the sword (apparently they're called Lynel) will always just look like dogs to me.
I misheard lynel as liono. and always called them that probably from having been a thundercats enthusiast at one point and thought of them as more cat than dog-like, plus they carry swords around, even if using their mouths sometimes. Years later after forgetting why I initially called them liono I was surprised to learn that was actually close to their intended name.
I prefer the three color sprites of early nes games to the two colors with outlines style that took over even if they aren't always clear. Or at least from my 2021 perspective I do. These are mysterious but without looking like formless garbage. They look like they came from a game that is content to be a game without trying to resemble a cartoon or a feature film. Likewise I appreciate that the monsters EXPLODE when beaten rather than blink and vanish, as if THAT's realistic. In fact I even prefer outright vanishing to blinking first.

I seem to have a frightful habit of rendering imps dopily!
I am glad if anybody liked the boomerang person since that one was a bit of an afterthought to fill space (before I decided to also include the pancakes, hershey's kiss, fat blob, patra and peartra). Initially I drew it with block-shaped feet but changed them into pirate pegs just to amuse myself.
