Zelda Characters Brought to Life: AI’s Astonishing Real-Life Makeovers

Published

Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is already being hailed as the best Nintendo Switch game ever. The sequel to the popular Breath of the Wild game has been highly anticipated by longtime and brand-new fans around the world since its announcement at E3 2019.

The game was released on May 12th, and the reviews describe it as “a new kind of magic” and “a masterful adventure.”

To celebrate this momentous release, UK tech retailer Currys has harnessed the power of AI to re-imagine the much-loved (and hated) characters of the franchise in real life, with some stunning, and disturbing, results.

 

1.    Link: Champion and Knight of Hyrule

Link, with his trademark pointy ears and blonde hair, translates well into real life. In ‘Breath of the Wild’ he sports many different outfits, but his most notable colours are definitely his Breath of the Wild champion tunic blue and his ‘Ocarina of Time’ green.

2.    Princess Zelda

Princess Zelda is seen mainly in memories during ‘Breath of the Wild’, due to being trapped in the castle holding back Calamity Ganon for 100 years. Although Zelda can be seen wearing a variety of outfits in the game her official art, her amiibo, and many of the memories/cut scenes in which she is present show her in a blue adventuring outfit.

3.    Ganondorf

For the duration of ‘Breath of the Wild’ the boss is Calamity Ganon (or simply Ganon), a primal evil that has appeared throughout Hyrule’s history. Ten thousand years before the events of ‘Breath of the Wild’, he appeared to ravage the world. However, the main and consistent antagonist of the franchise in human form is Ganondorf and he has been presented as everything from a simple monster to a powerful warlock across the games.

4.    Beedle

From his enthusiastic “Wow!” when you sell him items to the ability to knock him off his feet by bumping into him and his huge backpack, Beedle is a staple of ‘Breath of the Wild’ and is rumoured to be returning for ‘Tears of the Kingdom’ too. He is a merchant who has featured across many of the Zelda games.

5.    Lady Riju, Chief of the Gerudo

Lady Riju is the young chief of the Gerudo, based in Gerudo Town. This place is full of Amazonian-esque women, who do not allow Voes (also known as men) into their town, forcing Link to disguise himself as a Vai (woman). This is likely due to the fact the last male Gerudo leader was Ganon himself. Lady Riju is a young leader, taking her mother’s place after her untimely death.

6.    Sidon, Prince of the Zora

Sidon, the Prince of the Zora, makes his first Zelda franchise appearance in ‘Breath of the Wild’. He helps Link take back the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, and he is also rumoured to appear in ‘Tears of the Kingdom’. The Zora are aquatic folk who possess fish and amphibian-like traits, including fins, webbed feet, and gills, which allow them to swim and thrive underwater.

7.    A Bokoblin

Bokoblins are a standard enemy in the Zelda franchise and can be seen in various colours across the ‘Breath of the Wild’ map. They have instantly recognisable big ears and a pig snout.

8.    ChuChu

ChuChu is a gelatinous enemy which has many forms. The normal guise is blue but there are also ice, fire, and electric ChuChu which emerge from the ground in the relevant regions of ‘Breath of the Wild’.

Second Prize Drop of N1 Puzzle Promo: Top Affiliates Score Porsche, Cartier, Leica & Apple for Driving High-Quality Traffic

Published

on

N1 Partners is wrapping up the second lottery of the N1 Puzzle Promo! From September 1 to November 30, partners were actively collecting puzzle pieces for FTDs and climbing the rankings to secure their place among the winners.

A notable trend this season: the Top-5 leaders by traffic and collected puzzles differ from the main leaderboard. This means some partners slowed down, while others pushed harder — and now have every chance to boost their position in the overall standings by the end of the promo.

Five luxury prizes will be awarded to partners with consistently strong performance who entered the Top-5 by puzzle count during the second mini-lottery period.

Which prizes did the leaders receive?

1st place — MacBook Pro

C*** *****h

2nd place — Porsche eBike Sport

A***********t

3rd place — Cartier Santos Medium watch

T****** ****d

4th place — Leica Q2 camera

P******k

5th place — Apple Vision Pro

S** ****s

The promo is entering its final stretch — a crucial checkpoint for the entire N1 Puzzle Promo, where the fate of the leaderboard may be decided,” notes Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners. “With one month left until the end, even those who joined later still have a chance to make a breakthrough, while the leaders can strengthen their positions and widen the gap. N1 Puzzle Promo isn’t about luck — it’s about consistent work and mutual trust between partners and the affiliate program.”

The Grand Finale in Barcelona Is Getting Closer

The race continues: the more puzzle pieces collected throughout the promo, the higher the ranking — and the greater the chance to fly out of Barcelona in your very own helicopter!

On January 20, 2026, in Barcelona, during iGB Affiliate and ICE, N1 Partners will host the final N1 Puzzle Promo party, where winners will receive exclusive gifts — and the grand prize: a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter.

Guests of the event can also expect:

  • Exclusive prize ceremony;
  • Live performance by top artists and the evening’s headliner (announcement coming soon)!
  • Activities and surprises from the N1 Partners team;

Still Not Too Late to Join

N1 Puzzle Promo runs until December 31, 2025, and partners still have time to collect puzzle pieces, climb the leaderboard, and compete for the grand prize and additional rewards. Traffic from Tier-1 GEOs counts toward the ranking, and only registered N1 Partners partners can participate.

All details and registration are available at: https://n1.partners/puzzle_promo

There’s still time! Collect your puzzle pieces, level up in the leaderboard — and your team might be the one taking home the Robinson R22 Beta II right off the stage in Barcelona!
