Artist Ástor Alexander has taken Mario and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and imagined them as book covers on a pair of cheap pulp noir novels.

There are millions of creative artist renditions of Mario and Zelda, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like these two book covers. You can can check out more of Alexander's work on his Tumblr, Behance, and DeviantArt pages, which has a lot more than just video game focused art. You will also a find a similar piece below for BioShock Infinite's Burial at Sea DLC, though that one will cost you an extra dime.
