Their latest release is this fantastic Zelda: A Link to The Past inspired print entitled “The Destiny of This Land is In Your Hands”. As Dennis and Christina Jacobs explained, “This print was inspired by our childhood memories of retrieving the Master Sword in Zelda: A Link to the Past on Super Nintendo. The color change from glow in the dark to daytime light is meant to mimic actual gameplay, as the game's colors brighten after obtaining the sword.” Pretty cool, right!?!

“The Destiny of This Land is In Your Hands” by Arsenal Handicraft is a 16”x20” four color glow in the dark Zelda: A Link to The Past screen print. Limited to just 90 pieces, this Nintendo inspired print features blue and white glow in the dark inks, and is currently available at the Arsenal Handicraft online store for $50.

The Legend of Zelda “Healing” Screen Print by Jermaine Rogers

This past week marked the 30th anniversary of Nintendo's release of the classic video game The Legend of Zelda! To celebrate mind blowing milestone, Jermaine Rogers has created a new art print entitled “Healing”. If you grew up in the ‘80s then you know just how big of a phenomena The Legend of Zelda was.

As JR explained, “I was a teenager back in 1986, and was just about over video games in general...and then Zelda happened. It kind of blew me away. Electronic D&D! Hidden caves, lost treasure, mystical relics! Years of further anti-social behavior were guaranteed...” “Healing” features the game's hero Link when he's not doing so well. He's at a pretty low point, but he's found a fairy fountain and invigorating healing is only moments away.

“Healing” by Jermaine Rogers is a 22”x17” signed and numbered screen print. The Regular Edition comes printed on pearlescent Opal Stardream rich stock, is limited to 100 pieces and will retail for $50, while the Tri-Force Gold Variant is printed on Antique Gold Stardream stock with a rich metallic hue, is limited to 30 pieces and will retail for $100. Both versions go on sale at 3pm EST this Friday, March 4th, at the Jermaine Rogers online store.

There’s the Super Mario Bros. themed “The Lizard”, the Legend of Zelda themed “The Pig” and the Metroid themed “The Brain”. All three prints look fantastic, and would look sick on your walls individually or as a full 3 piece set.

Threadless Peanuts x The Legend of Zelda T-Shirt “A Hero Named…”

A Hero Named… by Sean Anton

As you probably know, The Blot’s a sucker for a good mash-up t-shirt design. So of course I really like this new Peanuts x The Legend of Zelda design from Threadless entitled “A Hero Named…”. I love this image of Charlie Brown as an unsure (and hopeless?) Link about to go off on a big adventure…to save the little red haired girl named Zelda perhaps?

The Peanuts x The Legend of Zelda T-Shirt “A Hero Named…” comes printed on a crème t-shirt and is currently available for purchase at Threadless.com for $20. The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

Threadless The Legend of Zelda T-Shirt “URL Link”

I have to admit, The Blot totally skipped over this Threadless design when it first came out last week. I saw it, but at the time I thought it was just another video game inspired t-shirt. I’m a huge old school Nintendo fan, but it’s gotten to the point where there are very few new ideas out there. Then I just happened to take a closer look at the design yesterday and realized how truly wrong I was! The image on Threadless’ website really doesn’t do the design justice as it’s kinda hard to see, but basically “URL LINK” is Link from the Legend of Zelda made up from a website URL. I can’t believe it hasn’t been done before, because this design is genius!

URL LINK by Esteban Ruiz

The Legend of Zelda t-shirt “URL LINK” comes printed on a navy t-shirt and is available at Threadless.com for $20. The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

“1986” & “1987” Video Game Inspired Screen Prints by Todd Slater

After the huge success of Todd Slater’s previous The Legend of Zelda inspired screen prints “Overworld” and “Underworld”, Todd realized they were being seen as more than just a promo for an old video game. “For some,” he said on his website, “they were a window to the past, remembering the endless hours facing the same enemies, bosses, and stages over and over again. For others, particularly, people outside the 20-40 age group, the pixel characters meant nothing, but what they saw instead was the intricately woven design.”

Todd then decided to release two all new video game themed prints, the Metroid inspired “1986” and the Mega Man inspired “1987.” Since both Nintendo games have a sci-fi vibe to them, Todd chose to print both prints entirely on mirrored rainbow foil paper stock. How cool is that!?! These were Slater’s best sellers at Flatstock and probably won't last too long on his online store. So act quickly!

Both “1986” and "1987” are 18”x24” 3 color screen prints. Each print comes signed and numbered by the artist and both prints have a limited edition run size of 100 pieces. You can purchase both of these prints (while supplies last) at ToddSlater.net for $40 each.

The Legend of Zelda Screen Prints by Todd Slater

Sadly these amazing new Zelda inspired screen prints by Todd Slater are sold out everywhere, but The Blot still had to blog about them. Originally created for Gallery1988’s “Multiplayer” show, “The Underworld” and “The Overworld” screen prints feature amazing designs composed entirely out of images from Nintendo’s classic video game The Legend of Zelda. When I first saw these prints last week I serious could not stop staring at them…I found myself subconsciously trying to identify every single item used to create the designs.

Todd Slater’s amazing The Legend of Zelda inspired 3 color screen prints “The Underworld” and “The Overworld” measure 18”x24”, come signed and numbered, and each have a limited edition run size of 150 pieces. While these prints could originally be purchased directly from Gallery1988 or Todd Slater’s online store for $45 each, all prints are now sold out.
