Aren't the first two Zelda CD-i games on the site already?

The first two are actually fairly easy to track down.  Zelda's Adventure, however, is a little trickier... :)

I really can't wait for these... I cased up all my handheld Zeldas with Lumberjack's covers and they look spectacular.

I'd like to see a picture of that!

Lumberjack42

Haha, sure! As soon as I can get my hands on a camera, that is... I'll snap a pic eventually. Just note that I don't have the Oracles games, so it's not complete.

But WOW, thank you SO much for these console covers! You were really creative with redoing the Wii logo and borders in gold and I do prefer Link's Crossbow Training with the series title in front of it. You even did Soulcalibur II, nice! I only bought that game for Link, haha. It's like you made this just for me. :O

By the sound of the other posts, though, looks like you're going to have to make some alts. Come on, guys, he's just trying to tie the series together and make it uniform and pretty. Collection covers should always have a pretty touch. I also know why he didn't do Smash Bros. like one person commented here: waaay too many non-Zelda franchises all over that one. Smash Bros. may have Zelda assets in it, but it is by no means a Zelda game. If you're going to skin a game that features Mario, Pikachu, Samus, and Fox in it under the Zelda name, then all their series should be cased in gold-themed Zelda covers too. :P Soulcalibur II is the only Soulcalibur on the GCN and its main selling feature for GCN buyers was that Link was in it. It's really not that much of a stretch to put "Featuring Link" on the title and include it in the set.

I do kind of agree that Link's Crossbow Training doesn't really belong under the Legend of Zelda name (it's really not part of the "legend"...just some minigames based on it), but then again you don't have to download it and include it. Same goes for Soul Calibur II, really. They technically aren't part of the Legend of Zelda series at all; Lumberjack was just nice enough to include them for people who like slapping covers on their games (like me!).

EDIT: Oh yeah, Lumberjack...just one question for you, if you don't mind: If more Zelda games come out, do you plan on following them and making more of these styled covers? I'm just curious, because it would be a shame if we made all our games nice and pretty and uniform and then The Legend of Zelda: Case Me, Lumberjack comes out and doesn't fit with all the other ones.

These look awesome (as per usual), but would it be possible to do a PAL version at all. If you would be willing to do this (and I as well as all other UK Zelda fans on here would be eternally grateful) I can provide rough scans of the back text/barcode numbers if you need them.

I was wondering, would it be possible to do "gold" versions of the GB/C/A, Gamecube, and Wii versions of the games with the original cover artwork and backs? That's not to say that these covers are good. I love them. They're great. I just would like to see the covers done in gold with the original artwork and backs. I'd do it myself, but I'm not very good at doing custom stuff.

So I had to bump this...

Since LJ is back now, any chance we'll see a matching cover for Spirit Tracks and/or Skyward Sword?

iirc, the reason he left for so long was due to a hard drive crash that caused him to lose the majority of psd files and whatnot he was working with. He probably doesn't have the template anymore so he'd have to recreate it from scratch.

Actually I dont think he lost anything. I'm sure the new Zeldas are on his to-do list

Sorry to revive a dead topic, any news on the last few zelda titles?
