Talented artist AutomaticGiraffe combinedBreath of the Wild’s Zelda withElden Ring’sMalenia in a powerful crossover depicting female power!
SinceElden Ringreleased in February 2022, action RPG fans have been drawing comparisons to Nintendo’sBreath of the Wild. Though the two games couldn’t be more different in visual aesthetic or mood, they both boast extensive explorable worlds and towering bosses. It’s only natural, then, that fans have begun to create their own versions of aBreath of the Wild/Elden Ringcrossover.
ArtistAutomaticGiraffe (@AutoGiraffe on Twitter)is one of those fans, transforming BotW’s Princess Zelda into a powerful Malenia-inspired warrior!
ARTIST AUTOMATICGIRAFFE’S ZELDA +ELDEN RINGCROSSOVER
Originally posted to Twitter on April 21st, AutomaticGiraffe’s fan art went viral and spread to ther/gaming subredditas well. Dubbed by Redditors as “Zelden Ring,” AutomaticGiraffe turns Princess Zelda into Zelda, Blade of Hylia.
Now taking inspiration from none other than Elden Ring’s Malenia, Blade of Miquella, AutomaticGiraffe gave Zelda a FromSoftware makeover. Armed with a massive sword and winged helmet akin to Malenia, Zelda becomes a powerful warrior worthy of taking on Radahn.
Overall, Malenia has become well-known for being one of FromSoftware’s most difficult bosses. Her healing ability combined with punishing attacks leaves little to no openings, making for an incredibly difficult fight. While Princess Zelda doesn’t old quite the same reputation, she is a powerful ruler in her own right.
Additionally, the strong highlight adds a sense of regalness, capturing both Zelda’s royal status and Malenia’s strength. Seeing the two together, it seems only natural that they’re combined - both are figures tied to the destinies of their worlds, matched up against another rival ruler.
