Summary
One talentedThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer has recently authored an impressive landscape watercolor painting depicting one of the most memorable views from the Great Sky Island. This is far from the first suchpainting based onTears of the Kingdom, as the players have been creating impressive fan art inspired by the game ever since the hit Switch exclusive debuted in mid-May.
While the introductory hours ofBreath of the Wildtook place on the Great Plateau,Tears of the Kingdomopens on the Great Sky Islandabove Central Hyrule. And though the game’s sandbox nature makes each playthrough fairly unique, its opening sequence is more linear, thus being filled with set pieces that are experienced by the majority of players, such as Link’s initial visit to the Temple of Time.

That particular moment has recently been immortalized by Reddit user thepixelpaint, who created an impressive watercolor depiction ofTears of the Kingdom’sTemple of Time, as seen from the southwest. The newly surfaced fan art is so detailed that it even includes portions of the South Eldin Sky Archipelago located to the northeast of the Great Sky Island. And though the fan painted this landscape in their own unique style, the painting still perfectly captures the yellow-dominated palette of the game’s many floating isles.
Elaborating on their technique, thepixelpaint revealed that they treated their original sketch to a “vibrant wash” before moving on to dyeing its details, which helped create even coloring across the image. The painting itself was done on a physical canvas. As for its subject of choice, the artist said that this particular view of the Temple of Time—which is also the location ofTears of the Kingdom’sThe Closed Door quest—is their favorite spot in the entire game.
The newly emerged painting is just the latest in a long list of impressive arts and crafts projects that the fandom has been flaunting online since the latestZeldagame hit the store shelves. A customGameCube console inspired byTears of the Kingdomwas another such memorable creation that recently made the rounds on social media.
Apart from being one of the most visually stunning parts ofTears of the Kingdom, the Great Sky Island is also the largest introductory location in anyZeldagame ever made; while leaving the Great Plateau inBreath of the Wildis more than doable in under two hours, many fans have so far lingered on the Great Sky Island for over twice as long before finally descending to Hyrule.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available now on Nintendo Switch.
