A Valentine for My Zelda

Posted by Jill Harness in Art, Art & Design, Entertainment, Gaming, Holiday on February 14, 2012 at 2:48 am

If she could just stop getting kidnapped, Link would finally be able to give her his heart, but I doubt that’s ever going to happen. Oh well, we can still appreciate the card, created by Adam Bing, even if Zelda herself will never get it.

Another Awesomely Geeky License Plate

Posted by Jill Harness in Entertainment, Gaming on January 22, 2012 at 1:28 am

While this one wasn’t on the Mental Floss list of geeky license plates I linked to earlier this week, the great thing about this plate is that it actually takes into account the vehicle model as well.

This is a really nice performance of the main theme from the video game The Legend of Zelda on a marimba, plus snare drum, cymbals, bells, timpani, and triangle. These guys used no sheet music -it’s all played by ear! -via Buzzfeed

This Sure Sums Up Zelda

Posted by Alex in Comics & Cartoons, Gaming on July 30, 2011 at 8:03 pm

Lissa Treiman watched a game of Zelda being played and learned one thing about the game: "There's a lot of grass that keeps growing back, and sometimes it has money in it."

Just 'bout sums it up, Lissa! Link (get it?)

Master Sword and Pedestal by Xenonray – via Nintendo Papercraft

Whoa! This is awesome: Gajitz blog has a nice compendium of the various papercrafts inspired by the Zelda games. I remember fondly playing Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on my NES oh so many years ago.

Tesla Coils “Sing” Your Favorite Video Game Themes

Posted by Stacy in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods, Music, Video Clips on January 5, 2009 at 9:57 pm

This post started when I saw The 40 Greatest Uses of the Mario Brothers theme article at Rock the List. I figured I’d play one of the videos and link you guys to the rest. But when I searched for the original Tesla Coil video to share, all of these other video game themes appeared. Who knew?!

Here’s the theme that started it all – Mario:

And here we have Tetris, of course.

Zelda:

Amazing. I still recommend you check out the 40 Greatest Uses of the Mario Theme, though. It’s got everything from the banjo, which I think sounds pretty good, to a dude with a remote control car that drives by a line of glass bottles and hits them to make the appropriate noise for each note.
