Incredible Zelda nursery will soon cradle the Prince of Geeks

A boy clad in green shall fight evil

Words: Andrew Groen on June 20, 2012

We desperately wish that we had a nursery this cool when we were neophytes. Although back in the 80s the theme du jour probably would have been Robocop. So maybe that wouldn't have been so cool. Posterity will have to tell us how well this nursery holds up.

We had some cool stuff back then though. Even if we didn't have a rockstar dad who spent 150 hours painting our nursery, we did have those awesome Super Mario Bros wall stickers. Which is almost as cool, right?

If I ever have a kid they're gonna wish I was this good of a dad.

Glad you all mostly enjoyed it!;) It was tough to choose which motifs to go with for the style, but we felt Spirit Tracks and Wind Waker exemplified the sense of freedom and adventure we wanted to get across. :)

Haters gonna hate. You've won parent of the centurey in my book. And I like that reasoning for going with WW/ST. Your kid is gonna grow up to be real bright. This stuff matters. Glad to see a passionate parent who realizes that :) Best wishes, mate.

Wow. Just, Wow. Now I know how much my parents DON'T love me. My baby is definitely getting a Dante/Raiden/Bayonetta themed nursery when I have one.

The inclusion of Spirit Tracks really brings this down from "Epic" to "Meh." It would be like having a Star Wars themed room with awesome scenes from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, then having a wall with a pod racer on it. And this is coming from a huge Zelda fan. No, Spirit Tracks. Just no.

Spirt Tracks was a great Zelda game, and in your star wars analogy the empire strikes back was the worst of the orignal trilogy while the phantom menace is really good movie overall but to each his own I say, thats why its an opinion.

LOL. Good try. I'm not so easy to troll. Solid effort though.

Aww, I really liked Spirit Tracks- And I'm NOT trolling. I mean, I know it wasn't as big and expansive and stuff as the other games, and the combat was fairly simple, but- having not grown up with Zelda like every one else on this site- Twilight Princess is the only one I've actually played on a console rather than a handheld. And I haven't played Ocarina of Time at all. I'm not going to sit and try and convert you to liking the DS spin-offs, but I would like you to at least consider that they do have SOME merits, like their accessibility, and the fact they aren't too reliant on large amounts of Lore?

Right, I didn't remember that anything in response to something, that doesn't agree with it is automatically trolling on the internet because clearly it couldn't be someone actually legitimate opinion. btw here is the order of the star wars movies from best to worst in my opinion to clarify this further 3,4,6,1,5,2. Also in the case of the handheld zeldas do you hate them all or just the ds ones and why? I much rather play either of the ds ones then either NES one.

I love the handhelds. Link's Awakening is my favorite game of all time. I also really like The Minish Cap. Even Phantom Hourglass was good, despite the repetitive temple parts. Spirit Tracks was just garbage though. Riding on rails from one dungeon to the next completely killed off any sense of exploration, and the control method for ghost Zelda was horrible. It was just a bad game all around. The only reason I finished it was because it had Zelda in the name. Also, episode one is widely held to be one of if not THE worst movies ever made. The fact that you hold it in higher regard than five, which is widely held to be the best, should tell you why I think you're just trolling. I still hope you are.

It's a kids nursery, so it makes sense to go with the cel shaded games. And let's face it, kids love trains.

To be honest I like all of the star wars movies almost equally, I would give them all at least an 8 out of 10, but the reason I like PM slightly more than Empire is because it is more memorable overall, the only thing that immediately pops in my mind when I think Ep 5 is "No Luke I am your father.", but when I think of Ep 1, I can remember almost the entire plot because of everything stood out, and I will admit part of it is because I was born in the generation where these were the movies I saw in theaters, even though I had seen the others first. So personally if you want me to be really specific I would PM 8.7 of 10 and Empire 8.5 of 10. In the case of Sprit Tracks, I felt the Train was an interesting if restricting way to travel and it did irritate me at few parts, but with the control of ghost zelda it worked for me since I always just left her on her own unless necessary to move to the next floor/area so it didn't bother me, other than that I felt it was solid, if not great game.
