The Legend of Zelda

Released on February 21, 1986 by Nintendo

Developed by Nintendo

Experience the original smash-hit adventure on the NES! Ganon, the King of Evil, has broken free of the Dark World and has captured Hyrule's beloved Princess Zelda. But, before she was caught, Zelda managed to shatter the Triforce of Wisdom and scatter its eight pieces throughout Hyrule. You begin your adventure by finding a small wooden sword in a dark cave. Then, as you grow in stature, experience, and strength, so do your weapons. Help Link collect the captured pieces of the Triforce, rescue the princess, and thwart Ganon’s evil plans!

"Second Quest is a stand-alone graphic novella inspired by Zelda. It's an original story about a young woman from a small town in the sky who begins to suspect that the legends about her home aren't true. If you like mysterious landscapes, non-princesses, videogame criticism, or general gorgeousity, then please consider backing Second Quest!"

I find the idea of the Kickstarter awesome. Creativity is a great way to deal with disappointment. Zelda is one of those series I will always love, even if the modern versions don't bring the magic like they used to.

Found this cool picture on the evolution of Link's Swords throughout the Zelda franchise.

File this under important historical information.

The right sound effects and everything. Disturbing Link visual, but fun geek reference.

Recently put this up at my house. I took a picture at a time to chart my progress.

Here are the steps to create a post it note 8bit Link on your wall:

3. Buy them anyway, its art baby!
4. Get the picture on your smartphone or print it(like its 2002 inkjet style)
5. Put up one post-it, snap a pic
6. Put up a few more
7. Snap a pic
8. Screw up a bit, start over again

Found an awesome site the other day as I was searching for phrases from Zelda games. Yeah, I do that.

The Secret to Everybody site takes phrases from the original games and collects them in screen-shot form for you to view. Very fun.
