Prominent streamer Vinesauce recently broadcast some The Legend a Zelda: Ocarina a Time footage t' his fans, but with a twist: Link had been replaced with Sonic the Hedgehog.
Some days be sad, some days be happy, 'n some be just packed full a Zelda for some reason. Today be one a those days 'n we be not complaining -- Fangamer be selling a pack a Zelda-themed playing cards designed by DeviantArt user Nelde, 'n they be utterly gorgeous.
The face cards feature famous Zelda characters, including Zelda, Link, Dark Link, Mikau, Darmani 'n more. The suits have been updated as well, t' rupees, swords, heart bits 'n triforces. Fangamer warns that the decks won't ship until May, but the good people a Zelda Universe say they already received their orders, so go ahead 'n take a chance on love. Or Zelda cards.

Looks like there's one more thing t' be thankful for this year.

For a brief amount a time, we thought Nintendo's special Legend a Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS bundle would go the way a Xenoblade 'n The Last Story, never t' see the light a day in North America. That might not be the case after all...
Wondering what The Legend a Zelda: Ocarina a Time 3D managed t' sell in the United States for August? We saw the game pop up in the top 10 NPD, but just how many units moved? According t' inside sources, the game managed t' sell through another 84,000 units. I bet many a those purchases be going hand-in-hand with a brand-new 3DS.

YARRRR, it be true. A startling ('n vaguely insulting) number a American consumers ignored our review 'n purchased Duke Nukem Forever, rocketing it t' the #2 position on the NPD sales charts for the month a June.
