8 Deadly Works of Art. After Ai Weiwei’s Tate exhibition was effectively quarantined for its impact on visitors’ health and well-being, we thought we’d investigate the art world for a few other pieces and exhibitions that ended up being a little more than curators and artists bargained for.

The result is what you see before you – Hyrule's Most Wanted. This collective artistic endeavor pays tribute to some of Zelda’s greatest enemies, from the mighty bosses to the small monsters lurking around every corner. We’ve collected 80 pieces of original art, which we’ll be unveiling daily in groups of 20. Keep it cool, Koopalings.Richard GeorgeExecutive Editor, IGN.com. Imaginism Studios Inc. The Art of Laurie B!
