I was looking through the various Zelda manga I have and I think I may have come across an image that could work, after it is colored of course. I edited Link's mother and a fairy out of it and replaced part of the white with exisiting grass strokes.

Would something along the lines of this work?

You can see the full image here:

http://rapidshare.de/files/22673372/dekutreebg.jpg.html It's a big image, so I uploaded it at Rapidshare rather then my own webspace.

The original image is actually a great big pic of the Deku Tree. But the roots and the tree don't have to be roots. They could always be colored a different color to make it look like rock formations if you wanted. It's all a trick of perspective anyhow.

I don't know, it seems pretty evident that they are roots. Besides I was going for a brown background, meaning they'd stay the same color except maybe a bit lighter.

I was thinking something more like page 103 of the Link's Awakening manga by Cagiva (in which Marin runs off to greet the animals). Do you have that one? (It can be found on zeldalegends, naturally)

How does something like this look?

The link to the larger image below is just the background without Link and without the text. I cleaned up the original image a bit, added textures and tried to implement a hint of a blocky looking texture as well.
