Screw You Link And Your Diva Demands

Kotaku AU

The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert tour isn’t making a stop in Australia, which sucks, but it may be for the best when you consider what frickin’ diva is turning out to be. You think Mariah Carey is bad? Wait till you see Link’s list of backstage demands…

How Tall Is Link? If This Life-Size Papercraft Is Any Indication, He’s 5’5″

No! This Is The Cutest Link You’ll Ever See

9 Minutes Of Us *Trying* To Play Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword

On the final day of E3, Kotaku intern Michael Epstein and I were running on fumes. I couldn’t hold a camera still and he couldn’t z-target. Nevertheless, we endeavoured to play all three parts of the E3 2011 demo for this year’s big Wii game, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Please forgive the shakes; I think the game looks quite nice despite them.

The Real Reason Behind Zelda’s Sheik Disguise
