8-Bit Dance Party!!! (Part 3)

the Legend of Zelda (NES)
Nintendo (1986)




We're not fooling around today.

the Legend of Zelda was ahead of it's time
in more ways than one.
It was the first video game to allow players to save their progress
directly to the cartridge & continue to play later.
This doesn't seem impressive today, obviously,
but in 1986, that was some cutting-edge shit.








Zelda was also one of the first games 
that did not utilize a linear storyline. Instead,
dropping our hero, Link in the middle of an open world
and letting players explore the Kingdom of Hyrule
on their own accord.

A few years ago, i had a Nintendo themed
Halloween Party at my apartment in Utica.
here is my former band 'the Blueprint'...


i especially like the 
random grouping of Link, Ryu,
(let's be honest, it's a bathrobe. Nick was just lazy) 
Sub-Zero, Raiden & Guile.

Apparently, we couldn't decide on one specific game,
so we went with a grab-bag sorta' deal.





miss those guys...


Link is one of two NES Characters
i've portrayed for Halloween.
this is the other one...


I looked almost exactly 
like my dad in this costume.


the Legend of Zelda was loaded with great music.
Besides the 'Intro' Theme & the 'Overworld' Theme
the 'Dungeon' theme is legendary, as well...


Long live the Triforce, bitches.
