The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Metallic Flake Nintendo 64 Casemod: Twilight Prince

Posted in: Today's Chili

Link isn’t known for being flashy or even stylish, but fans still associate him and his series with bling, thanks to Nintendo’s tradition of releasing gold cartridges and systems for The Legend of Zelda games. The talented console modder Zoki64 and his customer steal that trick from Nintendo and then some by making a sparkly Ocarina of Time-themed Nintendo 64.

Zoki64 gave the console a metal flake finish, causing it to twinkle in direct light like an angsty vampire.

Put your shades on and skip to about 0:30 in the video below:

Zoki64 also made a more subdued gold Zelda casemod but with a Famicom console. Check that out and the rest of his eye-popping work on his deviantART page.

Musical Life-Sized Treasure Chest from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Posted in: Today's Chili

The Zelda games have some pretty cool treasure chests and if you want one for yourself, you don’t need to plunder a dungeon or defeat a boss to get one. This neat musical life-sized treasure chest based on the ones in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask should fill the bill.

It comes from Etsy seller BygonesandPowerUps, who clearly knows her way around a dungeon. This chest is made of wood and stained in pine. It is about 5.75 inches deep when opened, not including the domed lid.

As an added bonus, when you open this one you hear the chest-opening fanfare sound from Zelda: A Link to the Past:

The life-sized Zelda treasure chest will cost you $150(USD) – I wonder how much that works out to in Rupees.
