Welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl!
Before we dive into this week’s showdown, let’s take a quick look back at what happened last time we asked you to pick your favorite design between the two regional cover options for Beyond Good and Evil. This was a slightly tighter contest than we’ve seen in recent weeks, but the European cover ended up coming out on top with 59% of the vote, while North America took 41%.
We’ve had a fair amount of Zelda on our minds this week (I can’t imagine why), so we’ve decided to keep the series front and center as we put together two different covers for 2007’s The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass .
The DS title has proven to be somewhat divisive in the series, with many placing it in the lower reaches of their Zelda rankings. 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 every chance we get.
As for the cover, this week presents an interesting picture where there is a close overlap between the European and Japanese designs, both contrasting with the one used in North America. Combining the similarities, we are left with a good old duel.
Let’s meet this week’s contestants.
