Welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl!
Before we dive into this week’s face-off, let’s quickly recap what happened last time when we asked you to pick a favourite design between the two regional cover art options for Beyond Good and Evil. This was a slightly closer-fought contest than we have seen in recent weeks, but the European cover ultimately came out on top with 59% of the vote, while North America took 41%.
This week, we have had a fair amount of Zelda on our minds (can’t imagine why), so we have decided to keep the series front and centre as we match up the two different covers for 2007’s The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
The DS title has proven to be something of a divisive one for the series, with many putting it in the lower sections of their Zelda rankings. It is true, this might not be one of Link’s finest moments, but the Wind Waker sequel still holds a special place in our hearts — and we should all relish the chance to see Toon Link at every opportunity we get.
As for the cover art, this week presents an interesting one where there is a close overlap between the European and Japanese designs, both of which stand in contrast to one used in North America. Combining the similarities, we are left with a good old-fashioned duel on our hands.
Let’s meet this week’s competitors.
