@TheStarWarrior7 The graphics are way too clear/clean to be models considering the capabilities of the GBA, even the DS would have been fairly blocky. They did a really good job on the pre-rendering, far better than Mario vs. Donkey Kong for a same system comparison. I'm guessing that they made a model then took screenshots of said model using those as sprites, they would still have to animate the model first though.

Saying that wonder whether the original models that the developers used still exist...

The sprites could easily be used in a Zelda ROM hack, its just that nobody's tried doing so.
