Flickr user Dr. Von Krakenstein finds a novel new use for Magic: The Gathering cards, using basic land to create this pixelated Link, along with a nifty Mario and a passable Companion Cube.
Dr. Von Krakenstein's alter-ego Jose Armallis fuses two geek passions into three card-based works of art. In a way it's a metaphor for how Magic: The Gathering works.

Link and Mario definitely qualify as heroes of legend, and the Companion Cube fits in both categories.
