legend of zelda hats, almost better than the minish cap

legend of zelda link hat fleece

Sometimes you just have to warm your head, so you might as well do it in style… in Legend of Zelda style, at that. Link’s hats are part of the iconic character’s charm, and now you can dress your head just like perennial hero, so long as you’ve got a handful of rupees to spare.

life-sized link is made of paper

link zelda papercraft

Link, the boy hero from a legion of Legend of Zelda games, is a popular subject for sculptures and fan art of all sorts, like this life-sized model. There’s just one catch with this example, though–it’s made entirely of paper.

From this distance? I, at least, can’t tell at all that this is papercraft. I’ve seen…

a link to the quilt

zelda link blanket quilt

The Wind Waker was a somewhat controversial entry in The Legend of Zelda series due to the childlike cel-shaded graphics, which many fans felt didn’t suit the franchise. No one could possibly object to Wind Waker Link on this quilt, though. And the best part? No sailing.

Okay, so this isn’t actually a quilt. Instead, it’s a quilted…

even the best pixel art is kinda square

duck hunt pixel art

You know, square? Like pixels? Oh, lame jokes, never desert me… and internets, please never stop supplying fantastic fan art. Even the dog from Duck Hunt–my most despised video game nemesis ever–looks great here.

Pixel art is a funny thing: it’s both simple and complicated. Artist and Sprite Stitch forum poster Brit.knee reports that, in…

zelda_xstitch_map

If you ever find yourself in a pixelated 1992, and you find that green crystals pop out when you cut grass, you should be fine as long as you have this map with you. And as long as you arrive after the Triforce has been touched.

Sprite Stitch Board member servotron is our featured cartographer; it…

wii crossbow shoots its poison arrow through my heart

Wii Crossbow

If you just can’t get enough of Link’s Crossbow Training for the Wii, have I got an accessory for you. Sure the hour-long game already comes inside the package with Nintendo’s Wii Zapper, but that’s not really a crossbow, is it?

What’s kind of wacky about the weapon is that they’ve actually covered up the tip…
