    Is This Halloween All About Chun-Li Or Viking Link?

    Need help dressing yourself for Halloween? (Need help dressing yourself?) BuyCostumes.com is here to help. The site has a bunch of Street Fighter costumes (each under US$50) and all new for 2008. Seems like Chun-Li could very well be teh female gamer costume of 2008. Hey, it might even be the male gamer costume of 2008. It's really too early to call. But not everyone looks good in blue and yellow. Some look better in green. More »

    Rasslin' for Link

    As this is the weekend, let's open up with some classic Saturday-morning fare: Professional wrestling. Think that emblem on rassler Cody Rhodes' boot above is just a coincidence? Nope. Rhodes not only pays tribute to the Triforce in every bout, not only lives his professional life by its creed, he also replays The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past every year on his Super Nintendo. So when he stamps Power, Courage and Wisdom into your face, sumbitch comes by it honestly. More »

    Don't Fuck With British Link

    This is a short little clip a bunch of guys by the name of Waverley Films put together for MTV's Gamer's Week. It's about Link, a bully, and what happens when Link is confronted by said bully. The moral of the story? Link is never to be messed with. Especially when he's awkward, and British.

    Virtual Archery Bow Puts Link..And Rambo...To Shame

    Most Wiimote accessories are pitiful mockeries of the real thing. Cutesy, plastic tennis rackets don't make me feel like Andre Agassi. And the Wii Zapper doesn't make me feel like a Dirty Harry. But this Virtual Archery Bow by Thomas Foo is a full-blown bow made out of a full-blown bow. The only thing it's missing are the arrows...which we're thinking would put flying Wiimotes of yore to shame in a heartbeat. Here's a picture of the game he made for the peripheral, Trajectory: More »

    Triforce Cutting Board, Now You're Playing With Flour

    For Kotaku's ever-growing chef contingent, this Zelda-inspired cutting board is built from the finest (we don't really know if it is the finest, but it sounds good) walnut and hard-maple wood for chopping as many leafy vegetables as it takes for gems to pop out. We know the $125 price tag will prove too hefty for some, but for what is surely the world's first foray into unlicensed, triforce-themed cutting blocks, we can't complain too much. Besides, we'd drop that amount in a heart piece if it included a bundled Master Sword Ginsu. We apologize for the lame puns. We're all done now. More »

    Zelda II Commercial

    From RetroGameVideos comes this Zelda II: The Adventures f Link commercial featuring yet another live action Link. It amazes me that in pretty much every commercial featuring a live action Link, they never actually look like Link. In this version we get some Fabio looking hippie Link running through a lot of dark empty hallways only to be met at the end by an invisible wall blocking his real self from entering Zelda's 8-bit room. Note the plug for the Ghostbusters II game at the end. So timely. More »

    Another Awesome Zelda Pumpkin

    Our own Luke Plunkett will be so jealous when he sees that the day shift got to post this beautiful pumpkin of his beloved cel-shaded Link. There's something about combining the pure act of pumpkin carving with the innocent Zelda storyline that warms our hearts almost enough to see in color and believe in miracles. Almost. Reader Nick writes:
    This is how my girlfriend and I started out the Halloween season, with two of our favorite characters Jack and Link.

    The Zelda Sleeve Tattoo: The Beginning

    Some of you may remember Sam Mullin and his kick ass Nintendo/Mario sleeve tattoo. Back when we first posted it, Sam had mentioned that he would soon be getting a Zelda sleeve on the other arm and well, it looks like he's started the process! Already present are Link, Princess Zelda and Ghoma, with Gannon and others yet to come. The tattoo work is being done by Daniel Innes , the same artist from the Mario piece and if this new one turns out as good as the last one, it's bound to be great. More »

    Nintendo Delivers Phantom Hourglass E-card

    The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass hits stores on October 1st, and to honor the occasion Nintendo has created a Phantom Hourglass e-card, complete with an exclusive video of the game in action. They've also created a handy-dandy countdown widget on their Zelda.com site, suitable for MySpace pages and personal blogs alike. Two doses of Zelda goodness to keep you going until the big day.

    Twilight Princess Capsule Figures

    While I was roaming around PAX last weekend I happened upon a booth by local Seattle store Pink Godzilla. They had an amazing selection of vintage games, Japanese toys and even some Japanese systems. What really caught my eye (although it was hard to focus on just one thing) were these little Twilight Princess figures. These are actually capsule figures from Japan and each figure came in parts, reminding me of my model making days. They come in pieces so that they can produce larger figures and still manage to fit them into the little plastic egg shaped capsules. I grabbed the whole set for $25 and spoke with one of the guys working the booth who told me they are readily available through the Pink Godzilla website. What's really great about PG is that all of their items include free shipping from right here in the US, thus relieving some of the long ship times often run into when ordering the same items from overseas. So, if you're a fan of Japanese games and toys and don't like waiting six to eight weeks for your precious treasures to arrive, run, don't walk to Pink Godzilla now!

    Impressive Fan Made CG Zelda Trailer

    Most of the fan made Zelda trailers we've seen have involved some guy in a bad wig attempting to pass as Link surrounded by cardboard castles and the like. This one, entitled Dark Sage, is done a little differently, utilizing CG graphics and I have to say, it's pretty damned impressive. It's really too bad that something like this will never see a full film release because it looks a better than a lot of the stuff coming out of Hollywood right now. If I was sitting in a theater and saw this trailer as a coming soon, my ticket would be as good as bought.

    Homemade Link Notepad

    Lostmitten is a master of the art of perlerbeads. Her creations have graced the hallowed halls of Kotaku Tower many times and today, we have another one. This time she has made an 8-bit Legend of Zelda notepad featuring Link on the front and an Octoroc on the back. Unfortunately (for us, not for her) Lostmitten's one of a kind creations go quickly and this one is already sold. Using these detailed photos and a little elbow grease, you could probably make one yourself, but if you're lazy, visit Lostmitten's Etsy page for a lovely array of game crafts at a nice cheap price.

    Papercraft: The Other Link Model

    I've pointed to a Link papercraft model before, but it was unfortunately less than stellar and now no longer exists. This version however is pretty sweet. This is the original Chokipeta model of Wind Waker Link and can be downloaded in PDF form and can be downloaded via RapidShare from the link below. For once, I'm actually going to get off my duff and try putting this guy together. I will see how my very un-nimble fingers do on this one and post the end product next weekend regardless of how terrible or great it may be. So tune in next week for the final results!

    I had no idea this was even happening, but apparently the Nintendo World Store held some kind of fashion event yesterday. From the looks of these photos, snapped by GoNintendo friend Phishbowl, there was all sorts of Nintendo wear to be seen and had. From 11 - 1, fans were given the opportunity to create their own Nintendo themed T-shirts and then at 1pm a fashion show ensued showing of the latest in Nintendo sleepwear, t-shirts along with gaming and fashion accessories. I wish I would have been there, because being a T-shirt freak, I could definitely go for some hot Zelda pret-a-porter. More »
