Jaded as we are, we’re still thrilled to see a couple of Nintendo loving nerds like Kotaku reader Kyle and his recently wedded wife take The Legend of Zelda wedding theme to the next level. The classy level.
Of course, Kyle and Mrs Kyle had a custom made Triforce cake – obligatorily pictured below – but it’s the Zelda cartridge cufflinks that the groom and groomsmen wore during the ceremony that ups the video game wedding contest. If my eyes and memory are accurate, that’s The Legend of Zelda (NES), Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES), The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES), The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (N64), The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (N64) and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GameCube) keeping these gentlemen’s cuffs from flapping in the breeze.
How nerd-cool is that?
Oh, did somebody want cake?
Kyle’s threatening to send video of some of the Zelda-themed wedding’s nerdier moments our way, but until he does, congratulations to the bride and groom for getting hitched in such a Hyrulian fashion.
Thanks, Kyle!

Heh, let’s just hope Majora didn’t show up beforehand to turn Kyle into a purple-headed child.

Also, has the community stopped with the whole “it’s not Hyrulian; it’s Hylian!” thing?

To Kyle: thanks for the photos.
To everyone: Control Alt Delete (the webcomic) just had a wedding, with two issues desicated to the gaming themed vows of the bride and groom.
