People have made all kinds of comics, short films and cartoons about the mighty Link and his quest to save Hyrule, and they're all great fun to check out- but they're also all missing a little something.
So which magical element of the Legend Of Zelda games do the artists paying homage to the games nearly always forget to include? The activity I spend hours doing every time I play a Zelda game- smashing pots for rupees.
Animator Callegos Yavolitak created this fan film for the pot smasher in all of us, which focuses on the greatest pastime in Hyrule and shows us we're not alone in our obsession to destroy and collect gems.
Animals and insects have an amazing array of offensive and defensive tools at their disposal, and whether predator or prey they all try to maintain a low profile when they're hanging out in the wild.
The best tool to use when you want to remain unseen is natural camouflage, so you blend in with the plants and trees and coral reefs around you.
Natural camouflage works so well it even hides creatures from our scrutinizing human stare, making it really hard to tell whether that's a tree bark colored owl or a chunk of tree bark pretending to be an owl.
If I had a buck for every half-baked idea posing as a life hack or product innovation I'd be drowning in dollars, but then I'd come across one of these genius ideas worth a million and I'd have to give the creator all my bucks!
Seriously, who doesn't think a vertical chessboard you can hang on your wall, a fry basket that fits on top of your soda or a yogurt lid that folds into a spoon aren't million dollar ideas?
If you answered "I don't think these ideas are utterly brilliant" then tell me this- got a better idea than putting a two way mirror in the bar bathroom so you can keep an eye on what's happening while you're "indisposed"? Neither do I...
Watch a fish swim around under the sea and it looks like the most natural thing in the world, and the way they flop around after being stranded out of water looks totally natural too.
But seeing a fish "walk" along the ocean floor as it would on land seems like the most unnatural thing in the world because that fish should be free floating, not shuffling along the bottom like some bottom shuffler!
According to this National Geographic video this stingfish acting strangely was spotted off the coast of Bali, Indonesia, and it may be using the bony spines protruding from the bottom of its body to hunt for food.
Many Playboy playmates have overcome the stigmas associated with being a nude model and turned their Playboy shoot into a springboard for their career.
But, like it or not, the most memorable playmates who posed for the most iconic covers will always be associated with Playboy Magazine, so why fight it?
We leave our homes and head out into a great big world, and if we really want to we can just keep going forever and ever, moving freely around the world as we please.
But our homes are forever stuck at home, bound to a foundation and a block of ground and therefore unable to meet other houses and see the world.
So what would our homes do if they were free to wander the world like we are?
Home Sweet Home is an oddly endearing short by Pierre Clenet, Alejandro Diaz, Romain Mazevet and Stéphane Paccolat that will either make you homesick or make you want to get out of the house more!
Social media was designed to help us network with colleagues and stay in touch with our friends and relatives, but these days there's more snooping going on than staying in touch.
Former lovers, friends of friends, long lost relatives, potential employers and the people we meet while we're out and about are all potential snoopers, and they make us want to polish up every photo we post.
Which is where Photoshop masters like Chinese digital artist Kanahoooo, dubbed "Photoshop Holy", come in- they make people look pretty by request, transforming them into an ideal version suitable for exposure to the masses.
Kanahoooo knows a thing or two about digital deception, and she warns against believing every profile pic you see online-
"Don't believe the perfect thing you see online!" she says. "If you want to find out about somebody, then see them in real life."
Don't you hate it when you get a new pair of jeans and they make a swish, crinkle or clicking sound that never seems to go away?
Denim is the only apparel fabric that can make a strange clicking sound even after it has been majorly softened up by the wash, so maybe it's trying to tell us something about the wearer?
That's what Jake Likes Onions thinks anyway...hope my jeans aren't commenting on my personal hygiene...
Records stores are one of those places where the "hep cats" and "cool kids" shop and therefore they look daunting to people who don't think they're cool enough to be around that crowd.
Then the music lovers and record collectors who muster up the nerve to walk into the store have to deal with the pretentious clerks who make the whole experience a pain.
Some of these clerks are using their knowledge of music to boost self esteem and help them cope with their social anxiety, but most record store clerks are jerks because the customers made them that way.
Christopher Bickel of Dangerous Minds worked at a record store for over a decade and kept a notebook under the counter the entire time he worked there- so he and the other employees could write down the dumb things customers say:
Customer: “Do y’all have any cuban music? Like Kenny Chesney or Jimmy Buffett but without the Kenny Chesney and the Jimmy Buffett.”
One of our employees is eating a bag of chips when a customer comes up and asks “whatcha eatin’? Rootbeer?”
Customer: “Do you have CDs for turntables?”
Customer: “Do you guys buy records? I have a Lou Rawls album that my wife looked up online. It sells for $800. You can sell it for me and take a cut.”
Customer: “Why are there only 12 songs on this CD?” Clerk: “Uh, that’s just how many songs are on it.” Customer: “So, there’s six songs per side?”
(phone call) Customer: “Is this the record place?” Clerk: “Yes.” Customer: “Could you tell me how to get a record deal? I do rap.”
Customer: “Do you have any Van Morrison? I didn’t see any under ‘V’.” Clerk: (politely) “Well, it would actually be under ‘M’.”
When people hear "artificial lifeform" they think of robots or androids, but technically any magically animated object could also be considered an artificial lifeform and would therefore have a lot in common with robo-sapiens.
But the odds of a factory built robot and a farm scarecrow ever meeting is a million to one, except for at outdoor music festivals apparently, where the two strange beings are free to be themselves.
Robot & Scarecrow was written and directed by Kibwe Tavares for Factory Fifteen, and I must say they did a really good job of blending the 3D robot character in with the live action footage, it looks so real!
Cindy Crawford is one of the most famous and successful supermodels of all time, but beyond that she's one of those people who seems to hold the secret to immortality- because she doesn't seem to age.
And to make the matter of Cindy Crawford's unfading beauty even more unreal the photo above was taken when she was just 16 years old, and it was shot in her high school boyfriend's backyard.
Cindy revealed the story behind the shot from 1982 that launched her career in her book Becoming:
“When I was 16, Roger Legel, a local photographer in my small town of DeKalb, Illinois, asked to photograph me for the college newspaper. I agreed, and he shot this picture at the backyard pool of my high-school boyfriend. I was still a teenager and dreamed of becoming something big—a nuclear physicist or the first woman president, the two biggest jobs I could think of. Doing this first shoot changed my life.
“The photographer encouraged me to go to Chicago to try to find an agent. At the time, my dad thought modeling was a nice word for prostitution, so my parents were very protective of me. I went to Chicago, ended up signing with Elite, and from there started doing catalogue shoots as well as working with Victor Skrebneski—the most important photographer in Chicago. This one photograph opened my eyes to a whole new world and started me down the path of modeling.”
When animal lovers Polly Lushchynskaya and her husband Panya rescued Jay the fox from a fur farm they instantly knew they had a buddy for life- because Jay wouldn't leave their side.
Luckily Polly worked from home so she had lots of time to spend with the cute little girl, and Jay quickly adapted to life indoors with her humans.
But when Polly took an office job she feared Jay would be lonely at home alone, so they went out and found her a little canine friend around her same size and age named Saimon.
Now the two spend their days hiding their humans' stuff, helping keep the family cat "entertained", and when their mom gets home they show her what perfect angels they've been all day.
But what they don't know is their mom Polly has been recording the stuff they do and posting it to Jay's Instagram account @jay_red_fox, so we all know how bratty that little red fox and her doggy pal can be!
Wax statues are often so realistic looking you can hardly tell them apart from the person they're made to resemble, but it's hard for wax sculptors to reach this eerie-high level of hyperrealism.
So instead of trying to do the famous person's face justice some sculptors turn the whole thing into a horrific mess by using The Penguin as reference for Meryl Streep.
Sculptors of wax statues shaped like celebrities are also known for making odd choices about the details they include in each piece, which is how we end up with a sweaty J. Biebs statue nobody wants.
And speaking of pop stars named Justin- get a load of this wax statue of Justin Timberlake, aka J. Tim. You can't say it doesn't not resemble him just a little bit, I mean the hair color's spot on!
Nick Offerman is a multi-talented guy who is equally good at growing a moustache, delivering a deadpan burn and playing a less jolly version of himself on TV, but when it comes to wood Nick's a master planer.
What I mean to say is Nick's a woodworker supreme, and he's even down to show raw recruits the ropes through his Offerman Wood Shop in East Los Angeles.
Nick has also likes to take to Twitter and answer tweets from twits who don't know the difference between a miter joint and that joint they just rolled using pages from their English book.
Food can make you feel really good, food can make you feel sick, eat certain foods before bed and they may make you have some very strange dreams.
Most people will be in love with food their entire lives, and whether it's the healthy fruit and veggies, the meat or those sugary sweets there's always at least one kind of food that makes us swoon.
And it's often hard to choose between them since they all look so good!
Cheat Day was created by Ringling College of Art and Design student Diem Tran, and aside from the wonky sound effects Cheat Day was a pretty darn good short with a fun foodie punchline.
