Ready to play a real life video game? You can plant 3D printed items from The Legend of Zelda around a yard and go on a quest! Hyrule Foundry is a blog focused on the Zelda universe and 3D printing, and the genius behind the blog created an entire set of 32 items featured in Link’s item collection. There are tiny swords, a shield, a key, and more. From the blog:

“Each time I had collected each of these items from their various hiding places and dungeons I had wanted to hold them, and now finally I could,” the post reads. “I held the wooden sword in my hand and I said, ‘this is it, the sword that started it all, the very first sword that we witnessed Link yielding.’ I was satisfied with the results and was ready to share them with you, my fellow Zelda fans.”

This is what “it’s dangerous to go alone” really means. Sniffle. Hang in there, Link!

What if the classic Legend of Zelda games changed the playing field? Imagine a version where Zelda is the protagonist, and she has to rescue Prince Link. Frankly, it seems like this should be a project that already exists. It’s not though, so author Aaron Diaz imagined a game – Clockwork Empire – with Zelda as the heroine. His description:

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.

This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.

The designs paired with the story have me convinced. I’d buy this game in a second.

Zelda Ocarina of time

Anyone who can sing acapella and sound good impresses me. Someone who can lay down multiple tracks and put them together in a beautiful rendition of “Song of Storms” from the Zelda game Ocarina of Time wins everything. Smooth McGroove does just that and makes some hilarious faces while crooning. And if you like the video, he’s got plenty more Zelda tunes.

Watch and listen after the break.

Skyward Sword

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword features some memorable pieces of music. One in particular comes to mind immediately: “Fi’s Theme.” The little spirit of the Goddess Sword is kind of adorable. Musician Laura Shigihara is also adorable and has recorded a wonderful arrangement of the song that’s very much worth checking out.

This beautiful Legend of Zelda Triforce lamp was made by deviantArtist Eric Margera who was inspired after seeing a similar lamp on Etsy. He designed his version from beech wood with yellow acrylic glass using a Dremel rotary tool to cut out the triforce shape on the front and along the sides of the lamp.

See more pictures after the break and learn how you can build one of these yourself.
