Legend of Zelda font?

Any clue where one could find a font to match the style of ZELDA?

[Masamune]

the "legend of" part, the ZEDLA part, or the "press start" part.

???????? What does that mean? I would like Zelda font also. Please tell me how to get it.

ZELDA

I don't think you will find a font that will automatically do that, maybe you will, who knows. The letters arent set up in standard font format. You might want to try looking for Dingbat Zelda Fonts or Wingding Zelda Fonts or something.

The only Zelda fonts I've ever come across tend to mimic the OoT logo writing, which weren't very good in any case :shrug:

There is a way to do it though without the use of a font. Some type of paint program where you can manipulate text to bend and stretch like that would do the same thing. I assume you want it for a title screen or something.

Tell us what you want and I'll give you a demo. I use Xara3D for text logos and such.

Damn, that's a tough one.
There's something here, but I can't do much with it. From the URL, I'd guess Windows won't do much good. I don't think it's the right one, though — it says "I ripped the font from..."

This page seems to have one, but my computer says it's invalid. Maybe someone can do something with it...

Gah. Well, it's a pretty simple font, really. Maybe you can fake it, like what Hermit says...

I asked Dark Nation if he had the font for ZC (same as in that pic) and he said no, but he gave me a .bmp that had all of the letters possible..if you want it, go on AIM and ask me tonight...I'm on now and I'll be back at 9:00 PM Pacific Time, and the SN is "SBKJAZZ"

Ciao. ;D

As you may have noticed, the "Zelda" part narrows toward the top so that it looks slanted...which means it has to be done customly for each word...you can't do that with a font. All I can say is, see if you can find a somewhat similar font, and then use a good graphics program to narrow the top of the word compared to the bottom, and add in a shadow which goes toward the center. I'm not sure how many programs there are out there that can do that fancy a job of putting on shadows...but there has to be one.

If you don't have a program that can do that already, though, it would probably be easier (not to mention cheaper by up to $700) to do the word by hand, than to go to the bother of finding and buying a program that can do that.

[Dechipher]

sure oyu could, but you'd need a special program along with a TON of letters :D

[Fiyerstorm]

See how they're bendy? You can do that in MS Word with WordArt. Just find a font that looks like it...

The "ZELDA" was hand drawn and not a font. Simple as that.

[The Silent Assassin]

The "itallics" effect...is up to you...but I do have some fonts that can "look" like that font.

The "FONT" on the box is Bakersville Old Face

See...that I made.

For the Title...Eras Bold ITC...and Wide Latin.

[Warlock]

cool, you should post them :D

[KJAZZ]

My mistake, I thought he meant the other stuff, not the ZELDA, and yes, its part of the title screen...art..

And yes, he should Warlock. :D

It's not too hard to make it yourself in something like Paint. That's what I used for this:

It's not all that great but with my limited artistic ability and only MS Paint, I think it came out okay.

[Hermit]

I think you did very well on that one SB ;)

Here is some fun I had while bored last night. This isn't tilted correctly so they may appear off in terms of scrolling.
