One of my favorite dolphin-loving editors on Destructoid, the one and only Chad Concelmo, posted a thrilling gallery of fan art by an artist named Orioto. Orioto revisits some of our favorite scenes from classic videogames with high-definition interpretations, giving us drool-worthy glimpses of what The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Sonic the Hedgehog might look like if they were created today. I was especially delighted to see their rendition of World of Illusion, one of my favorite games that I played with my brother when we were little.
Head over to Destructoid to see the rest of the gallery. Oh how I wish someone would make these screens a reality!
This is insanely nice. How were talented people able to promote themselves before the Internets?

Oh man, that would be really neat-o! I wonder if you sent them a message on DeviantART they'd do a special request...

So cool. I was just having a discussion with my Visual Media teacher on what the next major direction video games would take after 3D. It might not be as world changing as the transition to Mario 64, but it would be amazing if they started making new games with a classic feel and amazing artwork like this. Stop making more complex graphics, make what we have look better!
