Do you happen to know if this art was created prior to the development of A Link to the Past?
A black and white photo of the core dev tream for A Link to the Past, with Kensuke Tanabe circled in read. The photo is from the Shogakukan guide to Trifoce of the Gods. This scan is courtesy of GlitterBerri, who runs a game translation website.
Kensuke Tanabe announced that he is retiring in an interview today!
He was a script writer who worked on A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening, so let's talk a little bit about him and his career.

Black and white line sketches that are off model but interesting in a Katsuya Terada artbook that's a collection of his sketches.
Here's a better scan I made, with much less bleed through, of the obvious Link and Impa sketch in Katsuya Terada's Rakuga King ๅฏบ็ฐๅ
ไนใฉใฏใฌใญใณใฐ (2002) artbook.
It's a collection of 1000 pages of his sketches from over the years. #Zelda #Nintendo #KatsuyaTerada
Looks like the rumors were true!

You might recognize this art from the #Zelda 1 guide, Tips & Tactics, but a few years back the original artist, Sho Kobayashi / ใใฐใใๅฐ, posted photos of the originals on twitter @show_kob & I love them because it shows the original art included neon pink: which doesn't usually scan or print well
I voice the brave Korok warrior CALAMO in HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. This character was an absolute joy to play, and it was really cool to get to be a part of a Zelda game. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.
Iโve been working on something new and I canโt wait to share it with you soon โค๏ธ

Partial map of Hyrule from the original Legend of Zelda.
I spent last night cleaning up this map insert from the #zelda 1 packaging & added that art to the Internet Archive downloads here, along with my beat-up copy of the insert for the Japanese 1994 re-release: archive.org/details/game...

We have names for the new (old?) sages, and the chamberlain (not pictured) from Age of Imprisonment!
Spoiler alert, they arenโt Ocarina of Time sage names:

โข ใฏใฉใใฃใซ โ Clafica (Rito)

A set of five jade magatama: theyโre all shaped roughly like just one half of the taoist yin-yang symbol, with a notch through the head for a string.

In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a major plot point are โSecret Stonesโ, which are just straight-up magatama from Japanese legend:

A screenshot of Link surrounded by 3 armed stalfos in a dark dungeon. There is Japanese text at the bottom.
This in-game art is based on a Yลichi Kotabe watercolor that's incorrectly attributed to #Zelda 1 as concept art in Hyrule Historia. It's for the Satellaview. I screen-shotted these from a YT VHS recording, which is the *only* reason these fully colored images exist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-79...
The sage Rauru deemed the Master Sword the final key to the Sacred Realm. It is said that the Master Sword was wielded by a hero who traveled between two time periods. However, even Rauru himself believed this was merely a legend. After building the "Temple of Time" as the legend says, Rauru abandoned his physical form and retreated to the sages of the Sacred Realm. The secrets of the Sacred Realm were passed down to the Sheikah tribe for the time to come.
