The Final Boss

Gannon, the Prince of Darkness, faces Link in the final chamber of Death Mountain from the original Legend of Zelda.
As a kid, few things were more important to me than Legend of Zelda. I was Link for many Halloweens and I often created "dungeons" out of couch cushions and blankets around our house. Hyrule was a constant source of inspiration for drawings which continues even today.
This scene is when you first enter Gannon's (not a typo) chamber and Link holds the completed Triforce above him. During my first play through of the game, my hands were sweaty when I saw this final boss after hours of navigating his maze-like dungeon.
I took liberties in the design here so in b4 omg inaccurate :P (Lick)
I borrowed a lot of Gannon's design off his more recent incarnations.
Enjoy!
See my other Legend of Zelda pieces!
