Getting comfortable on the couch and playing hours of video games is one of life’s simple pleasures. Etsy seller Penelope and Clyde has video game afghans to make the experience even better. You can play Legend of Zelda while covered in a matching blanket! The shop also has Space Invaders, Galaga, and Pac-Man options.
Each throw is handmade from acrylic yarn. Order time varies depending on how many blankets are in the queue.

Janitors might not get a whole lot of attention or appreciation, but there’s one janitor out there who’s getting plenty. He leaves these whiteboard sketches of characters like Yoda and Link in the school cafeteria along with messages to remind everyone to recycle in Yoda-speak. This guy should’t be cleaning up after the kids. He should be teaching their art classes.

No one likes hanging out and waiting for a train, but these guys are managing to have some fun while they wait. It was all part of Japanese toy line Tomy Tec’s effort to make their newly released train station benches a little more interesting. Yes, it’s about the benches, not the figures, but that makes these shots no less entertaining.

Hyrule is a gorgeous place. I’d love to vacation at the Lon Lon Ranch or Hyrule Castle. Gamer Print has designed several gorgeous travel posters inspired by the destinations in Ocarina of Time and put them on iPhone cases. You could have a different Zelda case for every day of the week!

Do you have 226 hours to spare? If so and if you also have endless patience and a +5 resistance to paper cuts, you too can build a life size papercraft of Zelda. Forget rescuing her, just make her!
This model was constructed from a template by minidelirium for a friend. I can’t get over how lifelike it is! All the jewelry is especially detailed.

At some point, Hyrule is going to have to ditch all those bulky rupees and embrace paper money like the rest of the universe. DeviantArtist Ash has designed the perfect bank notes for when that day arrives. He’s designed one, five, twenty and fifty rupee notes that look like something you could actually use. If enough people ask, he may even design a few more. They’re absolutely beautiful, but I somehow think my local bank wouldn’t be too happy if I tried to deposit them into my account.

If any game needs to be represented in the Lego line of merchandise, it’s Legend of Zelda. Maybe we’ll get it officially produced one day, but until then persistent designers will keep putting projects up on Cuusoo for voting. Wes Talbott is putting this Iron Knuckle Encounter set to the test.
He wanted to keep the set simple enough so that high production cost wouldn’t make it unappealing. He did include a custom Iron Knuckle, Link, rupees, pots, a treasure chest and a cool background that has breakable pillars to go with it. I could definitely see something like this on the toy store shelf.
If you dig it, go vote for it on Cuusoo!

Just when you think you’ve found the perfect job at the perfect company, they go and change everything. It doesn’t make sense to switch from making bottles to clay pots. Or does it?
