What is this box art trying to portray? I don't mind if they want to bring attention to tits, but it doesn't give the consumer any idea about what the game is relatively about, unless you are already familiar with their sci/adv stuff from the semicolon, or you read some fine text, which isn't the point of box art.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you on account of you being retarded. The JP boxart looks far better in ever single instance there.

>Ocarina of Time
Western is better, Eastern looks like a picture of a fire, which looks odd when stationary. Western isn't actually good, its kinda lazy. This is a "Win because you took it safe and the other side blew it".

>Majora's Mask
I'll take Western in a close race. Eastern is really well-done, but the "rising mountain of characters" is a cliche I see in a lot of Japanese shit, and giving them spotlight on the boxart and putting Link at the forefront diminishes the Mask's gravitas. Western pushes the Mask as the center of the game, and keeps the mystery of the game in a way that showing a bunch of characters doesn't. If it were a regular Zelda, I'd give the nod to Eastern, because I think its superb. But for the specific atmosphere of Termina, Western takes it.

>Windwaker
Eastern in a landslide. Western Majora's Mask more minimalist approach works for Termina, has no business being in Happy Cel-Shaded Ocean Land. Its just lazy. Eastern's not even all that good.

>Twilight Princess

I think I have to take Eastern just because Western looks like a first draft. Eastern's colors are loud and in your face and just not very pleasant, especially because of the sudden change to whiteness on the top right half, but Western is just unfinished.

>Skyward Sword

I mean I guess Eastern. Western is kinda gold for no reason.

Tits aren't a problem on game covers as long as you don't make them a comically prominent feature. That character has much more going for her than lolhugetits visually. Whereas in OP, her tits take up over 10% of the damn cover and she has no other visual appeal to her.

I don't think that the cover is bad because durr tits,its just meh because the game itself really doesn't revolve around her boingy bits.A game like SK has a cover that actually represents the product fairly well for example.

>>389256240
I do suppose that is fair. I still say that cover is bad, however, since lolhugetits is a prominent item and the only other things of note are 2 scrolls and an orb of some description. *never played, just making claims on visuals
OP isn't any better, that's for sure.
