Zelda: zábavné umění
Link a jeho přátelé inspirovali hráče k vytvoření řady kreativních stránek. Níže jsou některé výsledky stažené z různých webových stránek, jako je např. http://www.zeldaguide.com/fanart.htm:
Zelda: vytváření kostýmů
Série Legend of Zelda patří ke hrám s nejbarevněji a nejrozmanitěji oblečenými postavami. Není divu, že tuto inspiraci využívají lidé na celém světě ke zpestření rozličných oslav:
Zelda: poezie
Linkova dobrodružství se také objevují v básních:
Handsome and kind
Strong in the mind
Destiny took him away
Blue-eyed and blonde
Of him they grew fond
Went on a quest one day
Straight from a zero
The one who could pick up the sword
A brave little elf
Didn't think of himself
Defeated the sorcerer Ganondorf Thought himself a Kokiri
Though he wasn't really
The one to be the Hero Of Time
Used a shield
Travelled a field got covered in zombie slime He made many friends
Made monsters meet their ends
The child of destiny
Got his ears pierced
Met things that were fierce
Entered the dying Deku Tree Grew 7 years
So did his fears
As the relic of power was stolen
Link was his name
Grown should his fame
But to people he was still just an orphan He wears green
Made Zelda scream
The Triforce was split into three
Discovered the sages
Travelled through ages
The last of his family

The Legend of Zelda: Divine Intervention
“He sat on the grass, alone. The water was slowly lapping the sides of the small island. His blue eyes were gazing at the moon, and the stars. It was better when you were alone. It was what he always told himself. No one can hurt you when you’re alone. You can’t hurt others. Just occasionally make sure they’re still alive and call it a day.
When he was younger he never thought about being alone. Sure, he never had a partner until a few years ago, but that ended rather abruptly. He still had friends, even though they would not admit it. When he left home to meet his destiny he met lots of people, all of whom he would be proud to call friends. He would want nothing better.
But his destiny got in the way. He had to save the world. So anyone who got caught between his sword and the evil of the lands was not going to live happily ever after.
As if on that thought, he pulled out his sword. The Master Sword, which had been sharpened, refired, and even remade by a fairy still held the same evil smiting powers. It was a beautiful sword; the blue alloy reflected the dark light. He didn’t fully understand why the sword chose him, or if it even had choice.
He put the sword back in its sheath and looked at the sky again. He had saved this world and so many others numerous times, but he couldn’t feel pride in what he did. ….”

Do any of you have any interesting stories that betray your addiction to a Zelda title?
e.g. I played three days straight with nothing to sustain me but Maltesers and water.
e.g. I once spent a night adorned in black robes and made my girlfriend call me Ganon...
Anyway, you get the idea I'm sure.

Mine's rather lame, but I ended up calling out of work for a few days because I was up too late playing the damn game...
Okay so it was almost the entire week, but who's counting? :) I love this game!

I was up too late on so many nights this week that I got pretty sick from lack of sleep, and I ended up having to miss an important exam, which I made up today luckily.
From: Falion | Posted: 4/1/2003 4:07:51 AM
I guess I can add on to mine some more, since not many people are here at this time...
My fiance's cousin was in town last week and I always ended up being dragged somewhere with them. Since I called out of work, I wanted to play Zelda rather than go looking for shoes at the mall or watch two women get pedicures, so I'd sit at my apartment playing until I heard a noise, then I'd turn off the TV and run out on the patio in case my fiance was coming inside. After waiting a couple minutes, I'd walk back inside and continue my game.
Now that's dedication! :) ...or obsession, but I prefer dedication.

I took a vacation from work last week to play this game, got sick from depriving myself of sleep, and am now on heavy antibiotics (Floxin - 600mg a day - look it up). True story.
From: TelemachusD | Posted: 4/1/2003 5:15:14 AM
I played the game about 36 of the first 72 hours I had it.

I'm so into Zelda that I made a wooden sword, and put different colored electric tape all around it, and black marker! It is my own Master Sword! 0_o

I promised to do stuff with my girlfriend during the week of the 25th, so i broke up with her so i could play the game. It was worth it.

Well I skipped school.....several times in a row. And I'm debating on whether or not I feel like going today :)

This is real sad. But it looks cool, trust me.
I have a tattoo of the Triforce on the back of my neck.
*sigh*
I wallow in my dorkdom.
From: JupiterP5 | Posted: 4/2/2003 1:15:56 AM
I spent an entire day playing WW, then at midnight I realized that I had like 8 hrs of homework due the next day.
Needless to say I did an all-nighter to finish the homework. Actually got it all done too, now how well I did on the homework? Well, I'll be finding out soon.
From: Falion | Posted: 4/2/2003 1:16:21 AM
Sounds like a cool tatoo to me =)

I once spent a night adorned in black robes and made my girlfriend call me Ganon.

During my freshman year of high school, I caught a really terrible flu that kept me out of class for a week and a half.
I blame the fact that I spent the last night I was fine playing LttP for a "triple-zero" game. I dunno...maybe the game coughed on me or something.
Zelda: hudba
Hudba, která tvoří doprovod k příběhům o Zeldě, se stala velmi slavnou a to pro chytlavé melodie a orchestrální aranžmá.

Poznámka: místo, kde je napsáno "optional repeat" znamená, že by se tato pasáž měla opakovat, aby hudba zněla správně, ale pokud to tak uděláte, tak se větší část konce „ustřihne“.
Zelda: skalní fanoušci
Někteří fanoušci chtějí všem demonstrovat svoje zalíbení ve hře Zelda. Používají tetování, zdobí si svá auta s motivy Zeldy, pročež se zdá, že toto jejich počínání nezná hranic!
Je tedy více než zřejmé, že herní série Legend of Zelda chytla za srdce hráče opravdu z celého světa a navíc bez rozdílu věku. Tahle hra je totiž fenomén, který inspiruje ke komunikaci a kreativitě. A to do té míry, jak se to dosud žádné jiné hře nepodařilo.
