The Legend of Dark Link

I caught this awesome Internet video over at The Warp Zone on Youtube and I was laughing hysterically the whole time. It traces back what really happened when Link wandered into that cave and met the wizard to get his sword. Let's just say he wasn't the only one out adventuring that day... Dark Link was right there with him!!! Gotta love some racist humor, especially when it involves kid punching... Check it out after the jump...

Mount Playmore by ???

I found this excellent design for a t-shirt over at Busted Tees and I am pissed because the site does not name the designer of the shirt. It is entitled Mount Playmore, and features the Nintendo  Holy Quadumvirate  of Mario, Donkey Kong, Samus Aran, and Link set in stone like they rightfully deserve. I hate not being able to being able to give credit to an artist, but this one was too good not to share. You can pick this one up for 20 bucks by clicking here and can see the detailed photo of the design after the jump...

Scott Pilgrim & Ramona As Link & Zelda by Bryan Lee O'Malley

There is no denying how great Bryan Lee O'malley's Scott Pilgrim books are. I for one have been a huge fan ever since the first time I opened a page in those little black & white graphic novels. To me it has always been the distinctive style of art that O'Malley has put forward with the series that makes it so special. So somebody posted a sketch done by O'Malley back at Hero Con 2008 that depicted Scott & Ramona as Link and Zelda, and boy does this look great. Check after the jump for the full size pic...

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' Vol 29

Always on the look out for inspiring art... emblazoned across the chest of humanity. Here's some of the t-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

'VHS Man' is a Retro super hero in the vein of X-men's Cyclops. I'm not sure of what his abilities might be...but, just keep him far from Magneto!

Jack & Jack collide in a Live-action Tim Burton mash-up perhaps in 'Jack T. Skeleton'

'HURP!' takes it in the neck in a classic way! I can totally see that happen for my pleasure in the next side-scrolling Super Mario adventure.

'Shot First' reissues the tired debate over who's first with the blaster fire. I just kinda liked this ones style. Shoot me!

'I Heart Quidditch' .....I do I do! I do fancy a game of Quidditch!

'QR Link' has busted probably my MOST favorite of the 8bit video game heroes...hiding in the sku!

....and 'It's Dangerous To Go Alone' exhibits the arsenal required to topple Link's foe Gannon once and for all!

'Soylent Green'...I keep tellin' youz......It's (SPOILER ALERT)!!

I hadn't really thought about playin' Super Mario Bros. while trippin' on 'shrooms (and the irony of that) until I saw THIS design...'Mario's Magic Mushroom Trip' ...pretty freaky!

And finally this week, there is ABSOLUTELY NO CONTEST as to what my favorite design is. You may have heard of Walking Dead...and subsequently '(Christopher) Walken Dead'.....but have you ever seen 'Joaquin Dead'? Amazing!! If ever an image should go viral...this is the one!

Tune in next time when I offer Tee for two..and two for Tee! Remember to vote!

Josip Kelava Takes On His Favorite Heroes & Villains... Typographical Style

Josip Kelava likes to make fan art. Nothing really special about that in itself. But when your creations look as cool as these 8 typographic pictures do... well, the they are definitely special. Kelava hits up some faves (Batman, Master Chief) and some of the more obscure (Evangelion Neon Genesis?) but they are the ones he loves the most. You can click here to see more of Josip's art, and see all 8 pieces here after the jump...

Oh... Now I Get It! (No I Don't)

Talk about confusion. Although I am a huge fan of almost every Legend of Zelda game in the franchise's history, I have to admit that I have often been confused as to exactly WHEN in time certain games take place. The series jumps around quite a bit, with the two original games (Zelda and Adventures of Link) occurring last in time frame. So what does a real fan of Link and the gang really need to properly understand everything? How about and infographic from the new art book, Hyrule Historia, that chronicles everything that have ever occurred in the Zelda universe. Here you go... your welcome. Click after the jump for the full graphic.Now get back to Skyward Sword and handle your business...

2 Different Links To The Zelda Franchise.... See What I Did There?

Because I used the word Link in the title of a post about Zelda.... get it? I am so witty. Anywho, here is a piece of Fan Art and a video featuring the Zelda characters that is sure to scratch the itch you may have waiting for a new Zelda adventure worthy of this storied franchise.

First up, we got 'The Final Boss' by deviant artist Tsaoshin. It features a treu to scale look at just how much the odds were stacked against Link when he defeated Gannon on Death Mountain back in the day. That's one strong ass triforce!!!

I only have one beef: I see Links sword and a triforce, but where are the arrows that you need to kill Gannon? If you went against him without them, you were doomed to fail and couldn't beat him, right???

Next up, here is a "Link To The Future", a fan made video that does an excellent job of mixing up the Zelda franchise and Back To The Future. This one is excellent. See for yourself.



How great was that? Doc Brown: "You gotta come back with me" Link: "Wait, what... I just got here!". Very well done. Great job guys. Hope these helped you gte your Hyrule fix.
