Actual creatures and sets from Zelda's Adventure

[Pagan Idol]

Back in the 90s, when I was working in the makeup FX field, I landed this gig designing all the creatures (out of RUBBER!!! not cg) for what was the BIGGEST BUDGETED VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME- Zelda's Adventure.
Well, it was for a home console called the Phillips CD-I, which was ALMOST really cool, it was the very first way to play "multi-media" from a CD. What happened was, just before the game was done, CD-ROM players came out for PCs, so.....
At any rate, I am still proud of the hordes of creatures I made (and the dioramas too).
I am happy to share some never-before-published shots of those interesting days, you know, for the sake of history. If you guys like them, I have plenty more.

I remember that console,bought a load of the games from a junk shop and sold them for a large profit on ebay. Thanks for sharing the pics.
