hello everybody, i have just finished coding my menu. but i was wondering if it really looked as good as it could be... so im coming here for some opinions. i have four options that i could think of(if you have a good idea, just tell me and ill whip it up) of zelda menus. the menu has all of the used items on one screen, and at first i had the box one, where blue was items, green was equipment, yellow was quest stuff, ECT. also dont mind the sprites, they are all fillers. i actually have a topic asking for some custom ones, so yeah! so which style would you like the most in a zelda fan game, which one would be annoying to look at maybe, or if you have your own mixs or ideas, just say so! here is the four menu sprites.

Rule out the bottom two. Bottom right has too much background coloring and bottom left doesn't have enough. I like the first one, really ;)
-
the first was my design, and i liked it until i implimented what equipment you have on, maybe its the outliner itself, or im just so used to not seeing it in red, but it seems a little.. cramped? what do you think? this is an in game screenshot in the middle.

Go with #2, less cramped but has enough in it to not look empty.

Alright. Ill put 2 into the game once i get back to a good computer, and see how that looks. Thanks for the input.
EDIT:
i personally like it. thanks for the input!

I would say my favourite is the last one #4. If you are going with one of the first two I would suggest #2.

By the principle of grouping, the top right would probably be the best. It's easiest to see which items are categorized based on the rectangle around each group. Further, you used color is the secondary enforcer there, which is a better design option.
