Evil Canabal Link Scares Even Ganondorf

Vincent Bocognani created this very scary picture of Link from the Legend of Zelda and appropriately titled it "One Heart."  You can click here to go to threadless and support his art and get a chance to buy this creepy t-shirt in time for Halloween.

The Legend of Buzz Light Year

Lily fox created an unintentional  mash-up that will take you from Hyrule to infinity and beyond.  Buzz Light Year as Link in the Legend of Zelda. I don't believe this is what Lily intended, she was going for Buzz as a Space Marine.  Regardless, Gfest loves Lily's work, and I have to say Buzz would make playing Zelda a hell of  lot easier.  I can sense Gannon and Zurg shaking in their boots.

Why Link Needs an iPhone

Shane Parker created this wonderful piece of cartoon art entitled, "The Not So Lost in the Woods."  Shane came up with the idea while playing the original Zelda.  He says on his blog,

"While playing the original Zelda I was trapped in an endless struggle of man vs memory as I attempted to remember the route out of the lost woods. Sadly this is the way I live my life daily seeing as I have no navigational sense and must continually rely on gps to navigate me to the simplest and most common places."

Gfest couldn't agree more with Shane.  I was trapped in that damn forest for 2-3 years.

How to Make the Legend of Zelda Better - Add Lesbians

It's hard to be critical of the Legend of Zelda video game series.  The wildly popular series brought to us by Nintendo and Mr. Miyamoto always seems to produce games that are not only epic but ones that are also innovative and "game changing."

So gfest is smart enough to know that we shouldn't be making any recommendations about what should be in the new Zelda Skyward Sword game in development at Nintendo right now.  Those folks are smart enough to figure it out themselves.  But if we were the type to make a suggestions, ours would involve lesbians. 

Video Game Character Yearbook Profiles

Andrew Bridgman over at Dorkly posted these hilarious pictures of video game characters yearbook profiles. I love Link's quote,  "I'm gonna go into this temple I'll be right back!" (said seven years ago).  Bomberman most likely never to be allowed in an airport.  Hilarious.

Don't know the artist or location but this graffiti picture of an 8-bit Zelda made out of post it notes is simply superb.

The Creation of Mario

Gfest found this absolutely marvelous picture by TsaoShin on deviantART.  Shigeru Miyamoto creates Mario in a parody of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" from the Sistine Chapel.

The characters in the picture from left to right: Mario, Midna, Shigeru Miyamoto, Daisy, Princess Peach, Toadette, Zelda and Birdo. Lower row: Rosalina and Samus.  The leaf is from Super Mario Bros. 3. It's the one that grants you the raccoon tail.

Thanks TsaoShin for this wonderfully creative art.  

Once You Go Bowser You Never Go Back

Poor Mario.  He busts his ass on a daily basis in a constant effort to save Princess Peach, and the biatch has the nerve to complain about Mario not juicing her peach?

Gfest thinks she should give the poor Italian bastard a break.  He's probably a little tired from chasing you all over god's green earth and then some. 

Mario and Link need to get together and make a pinky-swear to stay off princesses.

(Gfest could not make out the artist name to give him/her full credit.  please let us know so we can give credit where credit is deserved.)

Badass Link: Legend of Zelda Picture

Here is a beautiful picture of Link from the Legend of Zelda entitled, "Navi-Hey Listen" created by GENZOMAN at DeviantArt.

Gfest loves the Legend of Zelda games, but let's face it that damn fairy will drive you nuts screaming "hey" or "Watch-out" every five seconds.  Gfest applauds Link for teaching that annoying little SOB a lesson.

New Wii Controller is Link's Wet Dream

Gfest idol, IGN broke the news that the sweet controller you see here is set to release from component company Hori and is specifically designed for Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory, an updated Wii port of arcade card battle game Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road.   The controller mimics the look of the arcade version, right down to the button sizes. The sword can be pushed down to perform your special sword attacks.  Doing the hand jive baby!

This special controller is used with the game's "Classic Controller" option, so unfortunately will will not be pulling the sword out and slashing away like you're playing the Legend of Zelda (BUMMER).

Another kick in the nuts, it's not available in the USA.  Importers can look forward to this special controller opposite Battle Road Victory this Summer. It will run you about $150, plus a Japanese pen pal.
