LONG AGO, GANON, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, STOLE THE TRIFORCE OF POWER. PRINCESS ZELDA OF HYRULE BROKE THE TRIFORCE OF WISDOM INTO EIGHT PIECES AND HID THEM FROM GANON BEFORE SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY GANON'S MINIONS. LINK, YOU MUST FIND THE PIECES AND SAVE ZELDA.
 
Seven entries - a fantastic turnout! Thank you to everyone who submitted!

The goal for this week was to demake a Screenshot of the Year winner - specifically, Mitchfork's Screenshot of the Year 2011 - into a screen in Classic or a Classic-inspired tileset.

Just as a reminder, this was the base screen:
 

And the entries are...

Shane

Gilded lands wrested from wintry wastes.

Rambly

kurisumasu mayonnaise 2

Moon


Kifstopher

Maybe it's just my perspective...

Hari

The gentle crackling of frost beneath your feet quickly fades away, swallowed in the quiet stillness of this moonlit night.

Shane - Gorgeous sky island shot. Love the diagonal waterfall especially.

 

Rambly - Really dig the reds and blues in this shot, very distinct!

 

Kifstopher - Switching up the perspective of the shot is really cool, love it.

 

Hari - The background for this shot really sets a wonderful mood.

 

skateboarder11 - Very retro vibes with this one, I'm a fan!

 

Professor Bedwetter - The blue mountains are an interesting reinterpretation! Props for using Koten as well.

 

Great job, everyone!

Nulled. None of the entries match the snowy ruins setting of original.

[Shane]

Nulled. None of the entries match the snowy ruins setting of original.

The point is to reimagine the screen.

[Haylee]

Leaving which one I voted for out in favor of direct comments (And will likely do so for future Screen Rebirths.):

 

Shane: Always cool to see a sky island interpretation. I always like these, and your use of Cambria is as pretty as ever.

 

Rambly: There's always something about your use of this tileset that makes me feel happy every time I see it. Keep of the excellent work BLESS.

 

Moon: There's something about well designed swamp screens that I adore every second of, and this one in particular shows me some potential with Cambria that's making me consider some things if I opt to use it myself.

 

Kifstopher: I'll admit, my eyes are having trouble discerning what is a reference to the original screen, but I still like it.

 

Hari: Night time screens are always nice, and this is no exception.

 

skateboarder11: This one's incredibly nostalgic. Love this one.

 

Professor Bedwetter: There's something enjoyably simplistic about this one.

[Deedee]

Nulled. I was promised an entire contest of reimagined unique screens but Hari and Rambly both submitted snowy ruins just like the base screenshot. Sigh ™.

[Rambly]

Mine's not ruins!!! There's no broken columns or cracked buildings in my screenshot! I'm being FREAKING CHARACTER ASSASSINATED!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hari]

not ruins, the columns were actually built like that, pre-broken. for the aesthetic i guess??? idk i'm not an architect

[Taco Chopper]

SEVEN ENTRIES! Untold riches.

 

Base screen: What a terrible entry. What the hell. Didn't get my vote.

 

Shane: I'm glad someone's keeping the obligatory SR sky screenshot flame going two weeks in. Reminds me of TotK aesthetics in a way, really nice shot.

 

Rambly: If I knew any better this is a screenshot from IHM3, and I'm not apologising for that comparison. The candy cane pinks and blues mesh well together here.

 

Moon: The mire is a nice twist on the base, and the swamp bubbles are a nice touch too. Unsure how I feel about the cave though, on one hand it seems like it belongs in lieu of the original tree and on the other hand my inner SotW loser nerd vibe is coming out and thinking "HuRRR SCREEN ClutteR". I'm probably incredibly off the mark though and I think it's a very good screen whether I'm second guessing or not.

 

Kifstopher: It's a good screen, but I'm in a similar mind to Haylee where I'm unsure how much of this follows the original screen composition - a screen rearrangement, maybe? Either way it's the only interior screen out of the bunch so I'm gonna give you credit for deviating from the overworld approach, you're always taking the subversive angle with Screen Rebirth and I appreciate that so much.

 

Hari: Voted here, I'm a sucker for a good Cambria animated night-time shot, what can I say? It feels like a slightly compressed version of the original, and while it is closer to the source material than the other entries, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a 1:1 recreation. 

 

skateboarder11: The BS grass on the classic set is a massive energy. Big 2003 Fall Uh De Honky Pig vibe. BS should be in SR more often. Contest runners, take note.

 

Professor Bedwetter: Koten, huh? Good for making gated community screenshots with. This is the most minimalist of the lot, and the way it's handling being super reductive of a DoR screen... it's kind of on point. I think juuuust a little bit more space on the cliffs on the left and right hand sides would have helped this flow nicer, but that's just me.

[Rambly]

Seems like screenshot contest commentary is the "chic" "hip" thing to do now, so I'm going to be adding my thoughts as well.

 

Just a note that I didn't add in the original post: The order of the screenshots in the contest is the order people submitted in. I might switch things up and do a random order in the future, however.

 

Shane: Really fond of this one. It's neat seeing something that uses gold as its primary color (!). Love love love the fact that you preserved the geometry of the original screen with the diagonal waterfall.

 

Rambly: This is just a one-off; I thought it'd be cute to do something throwbacky in the style of one of my old quests. There's no I Hate Mayonnaise 3 in development (although there is sort of a spiritual successor that's been in the works since... uh... 2013. It's not technically IHM3 though.). The thought of being forced to do another I Hate Mayonnaise sequel makes me feel like this:

 

Moon: I love the goopy tar stuff and the vibes of this one. Also love the little cave island. This would be a strong contender for my vote if I were voting.

 

Kifstopher: Admittedly I'm finding the connection to the base screen a little tenuous, but taken on its own merits, this is a really great screen. The character is cute, I love the palette, an--wait I just realized in the imddle of typing this that it actually is a rebirth wtf

 

Spoiler

it's rotated 180° from the base screen

 

Hari: My vote probably would have gone here if I weren't nulling. Look, I'm an absolute sucker for a good nighttime snow scene. If you want to win my vote this is how to do so consistently every time. Love the sky, love the palette, love the mood, love everything

 

skateboarder11: Pretty basic, but charming. You should really do more stuff in the ALTTS2 style (my pipe dream is that you finish ALTTS2 but I know that's like some weird fan wish that'll never come true)

 

Professor Bedwetter: We need more Koten rep. I kind of agree with Taco Chopper - it kind of feels the most "debirthy" of all the screens. I really appreciate it on those grounds.

[Professor Bedwetter]

I forked my screen up

[Taco Chopper]

Spoiler

it's rotated 180° from the base screen

oh my god it is too. i've been bamboozled once again by the artistic genius of kifstopher

[Kifstopher]

I'll join in on giving my thoughts!

 

Shane: I'm a sucker for the sky islands look. Hitting me with that whimsy beam. Also love the color palette!

 

Rambly: Speaking of colors, really love the red and blues in this one! A lotta overworld screens go for naturalistic colors so I'm glad to see some with some vibrancy

 

Moon: Maybe it's because I live in a swamp but I do love seeing them. I wanna go in that li'l cave!

 

Kifstopher: Rambly got it correct, I rotated the screen 180 degrees :3

 

Hari: Love the starry night!

 

skateboarder11: Kinda nostalgic on this one. There was a time where all Zquests kinda felt like this.

 

Professor Bedwetter: You're a real one for using Koten when everyone else went for Cambria, I salute you. Also like the monochrome-ish palette! Gives it a unique flavor.

[Mitchfork]

how do i vote for the first one
