King Harkinian is by far the most widely cosplayed character from the CD-i Zelda games, but occasionally he does not cosplay alone. The two cosplays I have lined up today feature the king with his beloved daughter, Princess Zelda herself. Interestingly, I could not find any other examples of someone cosplaying CD-i Princess Zelda outside…
Now that we’re into the final week of CD-i month, we know that many of you must be eager to get your hands on the CD-i Zelda games and own them for yourself. Well, never fear! We wouldn’t tease you with pieces of CD-i goodness all month without also showing you where you can buy…
Dear Nintendo, I am writing to you with a request for a Virtual Console release. Before you dismiss this letter along with the hundreds of other Virtual Console release requests that you no doubt receive each month, I implore you to hear me out because I have done research and can guarantee that these games…
With all the YouTube poop out there, you might be asking yourself: “Who makes the best poop?” Well, I can only speak for myself but to me, it’s – hands down – MeStarStudios. His channel has dozens of Zelda CD-i poop videos with excellent humor and the production value makes his videos seem like the Hollywood movies…
It’s time to take another look at one of the CD-i Zelda games in its entirety. We’ve already done plenty of laughing at the cut scenes from Link: The Faces of Evil, so let’s take a look at how they fit in to the overall game. We join the HalfBlindGamer as he plays through it.
In last week’s look at CD-i Zelda cosplay, I mentioned that the king from Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon is by far the most popular character for cosplay. This week I bring you a second helping of King Harkinian costumes.
The King’s Birthday is a very well-made parody of the CD-i Zelda games done in the animation style of the cut scenes. Link and Zelda plan a surprise birthday party for the king.
They made Zelda the protagonist of a game. People can say what they will about how bad the CD-i games are comparatively to the rest of the series. As much as I’d like to say something as controversial as The Faces of Evil or The Wand of Gamelon being better than, oh, say, Spirit Tracks—and…
We’ve made it halfway through CD-i Month without posting a single YouTube poop video yet. Yet if it weren’t for poop videos, the CD-i Zelda games may not be so well-known today. So it’s time for an oldie but a goodie: a well-known poop featuring the king and his dinner blaster.
I love fighting Ganon in Zelda games. However, this attraction hinges on how fearsome the battle feels. This piece of art right here perfectly demonstrates a battle that I could not take seriously. TheReigndeer on deviantart has depicted an incredibly derp Link, surpassed only by the derp Ganon. The only reason being, they are pretty…
We’ve been having a lot of fun with the CD-i Zelda games so far this month. We’ve shown you the ridiculous cut scenes and had a lot of laughs (and groans). Now it’s time to show you the games in their entirety. HalfBlindGamer has created a series of Let’s Play videos for all three CD-i…
Mah boi! This cosplay is what all true warriors strive for. King Harkinian is by far the most popular CD-i Zelda character when it comes to cosplay, so the second of CD-i month’s cosplay Tuesdays features several kings.
The folks from Something Awful are either extremely patient, extremely crazy, or possibly both, to put together a music remix video based on quotes from the CD-i Zelda cut scenes. Drop the Dodongo is a surprisingly catchy tune and the animations are hilarious. Don’t be surprised if it’s stuck in your head for the rest…
The cut scenes littered throughout Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon are often the subject of scorn, but they were not the first time that Link and Zelda were animated and given voices. Most fans of The Legend of Zelda have some familiarity with The Legend of Zelda animated series,…
The CD-i Zelda month celebrations continue with another artistic portrayal of classic, cheesy Zelda cut scenes. Mixing his love for Etch-A-Sketching and CD-i Zelda games, one of ZU’s very own has combined two of the most tedious works of art to create a more aesthetic form. Rather than watching a boring, two hour video of…
