The latest project we have been given to do was to generate 5 iPhone apps based on a game/app of our choice, and show the production steps on what tools we used in PhotoShop.
This was the first icon I designed. I decided to use the Zelda font, and found Link's shield on the internet, and so, I re-created my own Zelda logo. I think this icon would work well with the app i'm producing as it is straight to the point and tells the client EXACTLY what the app is.

I think this icon may be a bit too simple and doesn't tell the client exactly what the app is. In a way, the app suggests 'anything to do with a bow' whereas the app itself has nothing to do with Link's bow, so therefore, it isn't suited.
Again, I think this Icon may be too simple and unsuited for the app, as it suggests 'anything to with a bow'. Although it is a pretty good icon, the client may be confused and mislead to what the app actually is.

This is Navi - Link's fairy. This icon seems fairly suited to the Zelda theme, as it doesn't represent exactly what the app is about, but doesn't mislead the client either. However, people may only understand who Navi is if they've played Zelda before, and so, anyone whose new to the game may not get where the link is.
The final icon would work well with the dark link/light link situation, but as the app is not based around this motive, the icon would yet again, be misleading.
