MonkDrew made this Triforce latte for his brother’s birthay. You’re probably thinking “who the eff wants a freakin’ latte for their birthday?” But consider this: MonkDrew had to journey all across his kingdom, explore numerous dungeons, and slay countless bosses just so that he could collect the 3 foam triangles required to make this delicious caffeinated beverage.

This pixel graffiti featuring the original Link sprite from the NES Legend of Zelda was spotted in Paris, France and photographed by EvilJoe who says:
These awesome 7″ polystone statues of Link in his red Goron Tunic and blue Zora Tunic normally go for $109.99, but Play-Asia is currently offering them up for just $79.90! Continue reading “Goron Tunic & Zora Tunic Link Statues from First 4 Figures” →
The above photo taken by Takayuki Yoshida (aka TaktheTalk) is on a wall somewhere in Colorado. The mural features well-known gaming icons like Sonic and Mario, with some lesser-known gaming heroes like Mr. Driller and Billy Hatcher. There’s even some never gaming mascots like the Castle Crashers, Bioshock’s Big Daddy, Pipboy from Fallout 3, and even a Raving Rabbid. Below are some more pics of the same wall, taken by Seetwist.
Here’s a shirt that most sane people would probably never wear in a million years, but it’s still kinda’ interesting, I guess. Game Paused is selling this Link t-shirt with the following description:
From the description, it seems like they either want you to believe you can go on a Zelda-like adventure while wearing this shirt, or they’re telling you that you should only wear it in the comfort of your own home while playing video games. There’s even a Master Sword strapped to the back.
Would any of you wear this in public (conventions don’t count!)? Let me know in the comments!
I’ve watched this extended 60-second commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks 3 times in a row, and each time I found something new. As awesome as it is, it sucks that it’s gonna’ get cut down for TV.
Back in the 90’s, screenshots for a Zelda-ish Game Boy title developed by Epic/Sony called Hyouryuu Shounen Keith (Castaway Boy Keith) began popping up in various Japanese video game magazines. Unfortunately, the game never saw the light of day. I wonder if there’s any ROMs floating around out there…
The crazy part is, as much as Castaway Boy Keith looks like Link’s Awakening, these screens were released 3 years before Link’s Awakening even came out.

EA Japan’s upcoming DS game, Shonen Kininden Tsumuji, is pretty much Zelda, but with ninjas. This might be a bad thing for Link and friends because, as we all know, ninjas make everything, like, a gazillion times better. This game reminds me of that other Zelda-like game with an ancient Japanese setting and heavy use of imagery inspired by traditional Japanese paintings. You know, the one with the wolf that has a sequel coming to the DS in 2010… Geeze, with Zelda: The Spirit Tracks, Okamiden (the one with the wolf^__-), 3D Dot Heroes, and now Shonen Kininden Tsumuji, it seems like a good time for those who are fans of Zelda-esque gameplay. Here’s a trailer for Shonen Kininden Tsumuji (Legend of the Boy Ninja Tsumuji).

Fuck. Yes. 3D Dot Game Heroes a the retro-inspired PS3 game that’s a true love story to the games of yesteryear. The loading screens even pay homage to classic game box art! And with the game’s hero editor, Japanese gamers have already recreated gaming legends like Cloud Strife, Old Snake, and more! Here’s a trailer of 3D Dot Game Heroes in action: While the gameplay could be considered a blatant Zelda ripoff, it’s more of a homage than anything. And besides, who could complain about having more games that play like Zelda? Look out for this PS3 exclusive when it drops in the U.S. (finally!) on May 11th, 2010.
You’ve got no idea how many times I’ve dropped dead after getting kicked in the face by a bad guy and had to wait for the ambulance to shock me back to life. It’s a nuisance and the smell of your own electrocuted flesh lingers in your nostrils for days. Sometimes I really wish I could just imprison my own little life-restoring fairy in a small, uncomfortable bottle that I could wear around my neck. Thankfully, Etsy craftster YellerCrakka is selling these awesome handmade bottled fairy necklaces that will be instantly recognizeable to anyone who’s played a Zelda game. The fairies are handmade, smaller than a pea, and come in Pink, Violet, Blue, Gold, Red, Green, Bright Pink, or Teal. If you happen to stop by YellerCrakka’s shop and they’re all so out, no biggie, just request one and it’ll be made just for you. *Note: if you actually die while wearing one of these, a magical fairy won’t really save your life. |
