The Ocarina of Time Series Re-Imagines Link for Younger Audiences

— August 17, 2011 — Pop Culture
The Zelda series is among the most beloved of all video game franchises and this ‘Ocarina of Time series’ by Vikki Chu lets people too young to have experienced the N64 game first-hand to live it through children’s illustrations.

The ‘Ocarina of Time series’ is a collection of ten images that details the story of the original game. Since it is widely regarded as the best in the Zelda series, it’s great to see a new generation of children can enjoy its fantastic adventure even if they cannot get their hands on an original N64 console.

Implications - Artists enjoy illustrating images of products or franchises they're fans of. They find the act of creating fan products highly validating as it demonstrates their technical abilities as well as lets these artists express aspects of their personality. Corporations may potentially generate new streams of revenue if they can provide consumers with an outlet to demonstrate their fan appreciation.
Trend Themes
1. Children's Video Game Merchandise - Creating children's products based on popular video game franchises allows younger audiences to engage with the brand and generates new revenue streams.
2. Fan-made Art Products - Supporting and promoting fan-created products related to popular brands can provide an outlet for fans to express their creativity and generate additional revenue for corporations.
3. Nostalgia-driven Adaptations - Reimagining beloved video game franchises for younger audiences through illustrations and storytelling taps into nostalgia and expands the market for the brand.
Industry Implications
1. Children's Book Publishing - Publishing companies specializing in children's books can capitalize on the demand for video game-based adaptations for young readers.
2. Art and Illustration - Providing resources and platforms for artists to create and sell fan-made products can foster a thriving marketplace for art and illustration.
3. Licensed Merchandise - Companies that hold licensing rights for popular video game franchises can explore partnerships with artists and creators to expand their range of merchandise offerings.
