On a purely aesthetic level, this is a fantastic cover. The perspective behind Link looking out at the realm was a good choice, the layered use of colors makes for a nicely varied image, and the panorama is really attractive with plenty of details. The only portion of the artwork I feel could use a bit of improvement is the rock and plants beneath Link, which aren't quite up to par with the magnificent clouds and landscape, but the overall image is so well done that you can spend awhile just taking it all in.

What held this cover back is there's not much more to say about it other than to comment on the high quality of the artwork. We get some sense of the adventure that lies ahead for Link, but it's not much of a story. And as much as I like the choice of perspective, there's nothing particularly original about it. There are plenty of covers in various medium just like this (albeit not usually as pretty) with a character looking out at the world. I wouldn't go so far as to call it generic, but there's nothing that special about it either other than it looking really nice.
