After some research did some compositional work. The brief was not to use previous Zelda designs but keep the nautical theme plus include at least the main 3 characters. I decided at the outset to depict just Link, Gannon and Zelda. I also wanted to keep it to one wrap around image.
I started with some thumbs then picked one and did some comps. I took the one at the top and started doing some studies to bring to the image.
