Here’s a clever series of paper banknotes that were created to represent Hyrulian currency from the Legend of Zelda series. The rupee bills were imagined by Deviant Artist g33k1nd159153 (really dude?) and show each value in writing, as well as color, true to to the series.

From Beauty in the Geek shop owner Amanda Laven, these great dolls of Finn and Link would be a fantastic addition to any Adventure Time or Legend of Zelda fans’ collection.
Also, I absolutely love Link’s face. It is quite adorable and brings him into the Adventure Time universe. I’d love to see a crossover episode.
Beauty in the Geek also has a few other adorable pieces including LSP, a Creeper and Pikmin.

Hey, listen! The book detailing the history of The Legend of Zelda just got a new and improved cover. I was able to flip through the Japanese version, and while I wasn’t super impressed, I’ll definitely be picking up the English version. The book more heavily covered the recent games and only had a few pages dedicated to the pre-N64 titles. I’d love to play a magic ocarina to travel back to 1985 and ‘86 while the original game was being developed, but since that’s probably not going to happen, I’ll settle for the few pages of insight this book provides.

I totally missed out on the first wave of the Samus Figma. Luckily I won’t have to pay $100 on eBay for one. Entertainment Earth has them up for pre-order, as well as the Skyward Sword Link figure. They both ship out in January.

Tumblr user spacekat267 recently posted these photos of his latest invention in baking, a Master Sword made out of bread. The young baker randomly created this as his job and decided to share with all of the Internet, because he knows we like this sort of odd shit. We do, so thanks spacekat267.

Take a look at the categories offered by Dropbox’s Help Center. Notice anything Hyrulian? Apparently they’re fans of The Legend of Zelda.
Thanks, Jon
We’ve featured the work of OSKUNK on the site countless times now, and you know what? We think it’s about time Nintendo or one of the other big console makers hire this dude to design some mass-produced freshness so we can all stop lusting after his amazing one-of-a-kind custom pieces like the border-line erotic Zelda-themed DS Lite pictured above.

Oskunk kills it yet again with another custom console. This time he’s whipped up an NES with his own adorable little versions of Mario, Link, and Mega Man.
It’s about damn time! Good Smile Company announced the Skyward Sword version of Link from the one and only Zelda series will be available this October for around $50. He comes with multiple facial expressions, the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Figma stand, and a cool swooshy sword swipey effect thingamajig.
Clearly, this isn’t the type of thing you leave in the box in order to preserve its mint condition. No, these are meant to taken out of the box and posed to turn your boring old shelves into epic scenes of awesomeness.
A Little Bit On The Death In Video Games Side: Life and Death According to Zelda by Michael Shanks (not the one from Stargate). When you kill a bad guy in a video game, his body usually evaporates into nothingness and loot appears, but what happens when regular people in game worlds die?
A Little Bit On The Retro Video Game Poster Side: Creative studio Robotandspark made these Super Mario Land, Legend of Zelda, and Street Fighter 2: Championship Edition posters for the first ever Middle East Comic convention.
We sold quite a few of the prints, but the M. Bison Street Fighter 2 was probably the most popular and we had many requests for other characters from the series, so definitely watch out for the complete line-up featuring messieurs Zangief, Ken, Ryu, Dhalsim, Blanka, E. Honda, Guile, Chun Li, Balrog, Vega and Sagat.
There is a still a small amount of these limited edition prints available, so drop us an email or head to our online store to see if you can pick up a piece of retro inspired video game folklore!
Those Super Mario Land and SF2:CE jumpoffs need to be mine NOW.
Check out Robotandspark to peep the prints in higher resolution.
A Little Bit On The Ocarina Side: Link does not appreciate being left out of the picnic as shown in this comic by OMOcat.
