Shinesparks's Zelda Fan-Art

Okay, this needs a bit of background first, as this art is very specific. For those of you who don't know, I am currently writing an Ocarina of Time Retelling (link here if you're interested). In this I am trying to make the world of OoT far more realistic and believable, and as such, have been forced to change some things from the original game. This fan-art is the result of how I have re-imagined some of the items and creatures from this classic game.

Before you see any of this, please be aware that most of it is sketches. And I do apologize for the use of lined paper, but I currently have nothing else at my disposal. Also, I don't have a scanner, so I had to take a picture of them and upload it to my computer, so the quality may be lacking.

So, without further ado, let's go:

The first picture is obviously a Bomb Flower. In place of the "crown" on top of the Bomb Flower, I have replaced with more of a blossom of sorts. Somewhat similar to dandelion fluff.

The second picture is my re-imagining of the Hookshot. You'll notice the three "hoops" I have placed where one would normally hold the device. Well, it has to do with how the Hookshot functions. On the original, there seems to be no switch to make it fire, retract, whatever. So, I have added these three "hoops", into which one would insert their fingers, and pull them to activate switches. One switch fires the Hookshot. The second is an addition of mine, that makes the hook open up into four hooks to better grapple onto whatever it's attached to. The third switch closes the hook back up and retracts the chain.

Third picture is the Megaton Hammer and is, by far, the worst of the pictures I have uploaded. The thinner parts of the handle were meant to be grips to hold onto, but ended up looking... not quite how I wanted them to. I also modified the hammer head.

The fourth and fifth pictures are of enemies. I want to see if any of you guys can guess which enemies I have re-envisioned. The second is kind of obvious, I think, but the first has been altered quite a bit.
