Phantom Hourglass Japanese boxart FTW

Too cute.
It's stylish. It's classy. But we here at DS Fanboy think that Link is getting a little too cute, even yon cel-shaded version. This cuteness is only made more creepy by the fact there is an old man with oddly-styled facial hair standing right next to him. Damn sailors.

This boxart reminds us heavily of Wind Waker, and it makes us wonder how big a component sailing is going to be in this new adventure. Crossing the ocean became a bit tedious in Wind Waker, so here's hoping the process has been streamlined (LOLpun) a bit.

[Thanks, Braden!]

Wear Baby Link, if you have the courage

This Zelda shirt, cleverly called Born to High-Rule, offers a look at a rarely-discussed part of the Zelda mythology: the birth of Link, rendered here in a stylized graphic. If we ever wore a shirt featuring a widdle baby Link, it would probably be this one. Even if there were some other ones.

We like the details that make up the background: the hearts, hookshot, and other Zelda doodads. We especially like that the boomerang is complimented by an eminently boomerangable Keese, just like it always should be.

Marching band plays gaming hits

Sure, we could make jokes about how being in a marching band is lame and one's only choice should they be horrible at sports, but we aren't that kind of judgmental blog. Instead, we're the type of blog to pay homage and respect those who manage to convince their superiors that a videogame-inspired medley of tunes should be the focus of the half-time show. That's what this wonderful MSU marching band did, playing tunes from awesome Nintendo games such as Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.

They also played something from a Microsoft game, we believe. Something having to do with angels?

Whopping 22 minute vid of Phantom Hourglass at E3


This video shows the entire demo of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass that was available at Nintendo's booth during E3. The video, which is filmed exceptionally well, shows all of you exactly how Link will control and interact with the environment. Just make yourself some popcorn before starting to watch, this video is on par with the length-time of a full episode of Scrubs.

Phantom Hourglass scans

Some scans hit the net today for this game called The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. You've probably never heard of it. It looks like it's a game based around spinning a small boy dressed in green, who is armed with a sword, shield, and sleeping cap, while his twin brothers cheer on. The scans come from magazine Nintendo Dream and also showcase a rather large, rosey-cheeked character wielding a massive paintbrush. It looks as if you'll be able to control the small kid, whose name is unknown, through the stylus and touch screen. We're not too excited about the game since it's relatively obscure, but we felt obligated to post about it for the benefit of the three people out there looking forward to it.
