Note: Larger version HERE but you can go to Brian’s DeviantART page for a massive 7500×5000px (18MB) version. Here’s one last piece (promise) of Zelda propaganda to finish off the celebratory week. It’s a chart depicting the various swords from the different Zelda games as created by Geekologie Reader Brian R. (aka Spongeboy1985). Per the man himself (no not God, stupid): This is A graphic I decided to make of the Swords of Legend of Zelda This is my No means meant to be a complete Guide I had a difficult Time Deciding how The Swords should be Categorized Again thanks to Zelda Wiki For helping me decide I decided to Not Include The Minish Cap White sword because it is a completely different sword than the others and is a Predecessor to The Four Sword I included Swords In which I could find Images for If you feel I’m Leaving something out or Know of images for Swords that I didn’t include please let me know. I’m always looking to improve. Almost Decided to but Minor Enemy swords Such as Darknut’s sword and and Moblin spear but Decided not to. Combined Noble Sword from Oracle Games With The White sword Because the Japanese Version Names it The White Sword Plus I could not Find any good Images of the Noble Sword I created my own Version of the “Link’s Awakening” logo Because the original looks like The “Link to the Past” Logo Sure, so it’s not 100% inclusive. But did that stop me from making it my wallpaper? It did not. But my penis? Out of the question . This is a 15″ laptop, not a iPhone video wall!

These days Apple’s presentations tend to run like a slick well-oiled machine, but that wasn’t always the case. This disco-tastic film made for the 1984 dealer’s meeting, shows that even trend-setting Apple succumbed to the cringe worthy tastes of that era.

Well folks, this wraps up the 25th anniversary week of the first Zelda game’s release. So, in honor of my all-time favorite franchise , here’s a super-short video tribute shot by Geekologie Reader Chad (aka SpiderChad). In case you couldn’t tell, it was made using miniatures (plus a fog machine!). On a side note, if Skyward Sword disappoints I’m going to smash my Wii into ten-thousand pieces. You know, or sell it back to Game Stop. God knows the only reason it’s sitting in the back my closet anyways is because of the next Zelda. Dammit Link, you better not let me down! And on that note, I’m off to get drunk and forget everything I wrote this week. I might crank out a couple this weekend though, you never know! Which is why you should really focus on the other half the battle. G.I. Joke! Hit the jump for the short but sweet video.
