The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Indie composers from across the industry have combined their musical talents to produce a Legend of Zelda cover album in honor of the Hyrulian franchise's 25th birthday. Produced by OverClocked ReMix (OC ReMix), the online haven for video game music fans, 25YEARLEGEND is equipped with 18 tracks of chiptuney, classical, remixed goodness. And best of all, it's free...

 Just in case you’re not in the habit of rooting through Nintendo’s official site every day, they dropped a gross of Zelda love over the weekend in celebration of Link’s 25th B-day. This you gotta see...

Just yesterday we reported on unofficial word that Nintendo was dropping the Wii to $149.99, as well as changing the pack-in game from Wii Sports to Mario Kart Wii. Today, Nintendo confirmed this news and also revealed the nifty red packaging for its $19.99 line of "Nintendo Selects" titles (seen above). Sounds mundane, but there are actually two interesting pieces of info to go along with this...

Thought we were done with Twilight Princess stories? Sure the game's over four years old, and is about to be supplanted by the next console sequel in just a few months, but sneaking in at the buzzer is a surprising reveal of a proposed (but unaccepted) design for a Twilight Princess GameCube controller. The special edition pad was designed by Nubytech (famous for its RE4 chainsaw controller) but never made it out the door.

Imagine, if you will, the Legend of Zelda as an 80s high school movie replete with big hair, fingerless gloves, angsty teens, first wave music and a special kind of melodrama usually reserved for Hallmark cards or grade five love letters. Now imagine your imaginations being imagined by someone with an old fashioned camcorder and a solid understanding of 80s cinema, and (we imagine) it'd look something like this Classic 80s Legend of Zelda Film Trailer...

Video game princesses are typically good for two things; inspiring skanky cosplay outfits and getting kidnapped. Up until now we've assumed that the latter was due poor castle security, but if this new video from College Humor starring Princess Peach and Zelda is any proof, it appears that we're the ones being played...

The music of Majora's Mask has been re-interpreted a great many times and by a great many musicians. Few renditions, however, are as creative or thirst-inducing as Sp0ntanius' wine glass cover of the game's most iconic track, the Song of Healing...

Unless you're a dastardly old timey villain who occasionally morphs into a big-ass pig beastie, you probably love The Legend of Zelda's link. No matter the level of your love for the one in the green pyjamas, though, we doubt you love him as much as the folks at Kay Circle. You see, they've just created huge mosaics of Link and Princess Zelda using screenshots from every Zelda game every made. They've even included those god-awful CD-i efforts... 

Got $330 available in your "shit I really shouldn't buy" fund? You'd be wise to spend it on the latest offering from First 4 Figures - a one-quarter scale statue of Wolf Link and Midna from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Look at it! Midna's friggin hair glows!
