Which is the superior cover?

For a 10 year old the first one. So for you, the former.

Right.
>>
>>388886770
only ameritards would say left because of their pride

right is obviously superior even though the "eyes" of hyrule castle in the left one almost make it superior
>>
>>388886872
>>
>>388886770
The point of the game is the world, and the point of view in the left is set to show off more of the landscape, so that's a point for it.
However, the part of the landscape it shows off doesn't include fucking Hyrule Castle, the end goal of the journey, while the left does.

The bright vibrant colors of the right are a better representation of the game than the darker composition on the left

Link's pose on the right is shit, why the fuck is Link looking directly at the viewer? What the hell is with his standing stance?
Link's pose on the left is bad too, but mostly because it's overdone, and it's not as bad as the one on the right.

It's actually a pretty close competition.

Right has superior colors.
Left has superior pose.

Godly version would be right but with Link looking into the distance.
>>
Left is perfect iconic boxart that says "this is hot shit and we're confident in our product and you must buy it". Right is... okay I guess. Not what you'd use for a title poised to claim Game of the Decade.

>He stares toward the horizon with his sword drawn and shield tightly fastened to his arm, his stance wide and braced

>Foreground darkened; what's behind him is unimportant, while the lighter background draws the eye towards the journey ahead

>Left
>Link has his hand on his hip, back arched and legs tightly together, an effeminate pose
>Shield rests on his back and his sword is in the ground as he stands out in the open, oblivious to his surroundings, unprepared for attack
>Looking back expectantly at the player, his head cocked inquisitively as if to ask, "May I please have your permission to go explore?
>Foreground bright and idyllic while the background is muddled shades of blue with no real focal point; scene suggests repose, not adventure
>Blurry leaf in the foreground is obtrusive and detracts from the composition, drawing the eye away from anything important

If you think the left is better you have shit aesthetic taste, and you're probably the kind of person who wants to suck trap Link's cock rather than venture out as the legendary hero of Hyrule to slay Ganon.

Europe. Japan's cover is too abstract, they love that shit for some reason but it literally means nothing. NA cover isn't bad, but the whole "shattered glass representing fragmented personas" thing has been done to death. The European cover has a nice spread, your eyes are drawn above the logo (white type with black stroke looks a lot better on red background, as well), and they've got a very Resevoir Dogs-esque pose going on, walking towards their target.

Capcom Japan is fucking shit. I can't believe the cover with the giant-size picture of PROTAGONIST isn't the American one. Leon looks poorly shopped into the American cover, I think it's that white 2px stroke that's around him. What fucking intern who just got his hands on the first legitimate copy of Photoshop he'll ever have in his life cooked that shit up? I guess having the Ganados in the background is a better representation of how action-y the game is, but the European cover just looks menacing, like a horror game should.

The cover on the right does a shit job at telling you what the game is about though while elements on the left cover, such as Link having his sword drawn in a prepared manner, directly facing the untamed lands of Hyrule and Ganon convey that the game is going to be about exploring uncharted territory with danger lurking around every corner. Not to mention that it truly nails the feel of a post-apocalyptic Hyrule with its use of blue and orange, compared to the overly vivid and vibrant colors on the EU cover.

I'm so glad they rereleased it in NA with the EU/Jap box art, that yellow filter has plagued Zelda games forever here.

>>388892515
I always found this funny, because in-game it all remains unchanged. So even though angry Kirby is on the box, it's literally just as happy as the Japanese art suggests.

No contest..
I would've mocked the birds blocking so much of your view but on second thought they're probably doing us a favor because that landscape is such blobby bland shit with practically nothing interesting on it, and instead it seems like link is the main focus. Whereas in the canon cover it's dark in the foreground, Link is turned away, and our eyes are drawn out to the world with him.
