This Amazing Art Is Made Almost Entirely Out Of Tea Stains
Did you know that you can make art by using tea? If you’re Dara Gold, artist and illustrator from Toronto, you can use tea stains to make pretty awesome art, too. Making art from tea doesn’t mean it all has to be brown, though. Tea comes in fruit flavors! That means there can be some…

The Frickin’ Greatest Legend Of Zelda Debate Ever.
“You can’t hate Legend of Zelda!” You make a compelling argument, SammyClassicSonicFan, but HaleyTheHedgehog isn’t buying it. Maybe it’s time to bust out the “pitch-perfect gameplay.” This delightful YouTube debate has me simultaneously excited for and dreading the point at which my own children will be cognizant and coherent enough to argue the finer points…

Jeopardy Contestants Answer ‘Zelda,’ Get Robbed
Come on, Trebek. I mean, I know the specific technical details of Jeopardy answers are important and all, but really? REALLY? Zelda is perfectly fine. Nobody actually calls the game The Legend of Zelda. As Stephen Totilo just said out loud in the office, “THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!” (Thanks, Alfred!)

Link Can Now Save Zelda Using His…iPhone
This is great. It’s what Link’s home screen would look like, if the Nintendo of the future ditched his backpack/tunic for a more contemporary way of getting stuff done. If Ganon could be defeated via Vines, check-ins and messaging apps, that is. What I like is that it’s a pretty accurate conversion! Well, except for…

Here’s Why Sailing Took So Damn Long in Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
There’s a reason sailing the sea in the GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was so slow and tedious. If the boat moved any faster, you’d sail off the edge of the ocean. Flat-Earthers smell a conspiracy! No, really, the GameCube didn’t have the power necessary to render the entirety of…

Oh Dear God, Playing Ocarina of Time Like This Is Terrifying
Last time, Vinesauce showed us the horrors of Sesame Street games. This time, they’re back with a very corrupted version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They manage to transform Link into an abomination. Like I’ve said before: glitched out games can be treasure troves. (And the trove is full of horrors….just, FYI.)…

Maybe A Zelda Movie Could Work After All
Nintendo has, smartly, mostly ignored Hollywood following 1993’s Super Mario Bros. movie. So we don’t have a Zelda movie. Many people think, smartly, that this is a good thing, because there’s every chance a Hollywood adaptation would be awful. But there’s a small chance it might not be. I mean, if fans (in this case,…

The Game Boy Color Zeldas Are Still Two Of The Best Games Around
It’s always fascinating, as a video game fan in 2013, to pick up old games and see how well they’ve aged. Sometimes you’re disappointed.
