I Went To Chuck E Cheese: Parents Build Animated Zelda ‘Skyward Sword’ Cake For Daughter’s 10th Birthday

animated-zelda-cake.jpg

This is the animated Skyward Sword themed cake Kotaku reader Will Turnbow and his wife made for their daughter’s (no word what her name is, so we’ll just call her Lucky) 10th birthday party. It has a bunch of animated characters that move around and make me all jealous of a child (which seems to be a growing trend).

Based on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the cake includes Skyloft, the Sealed Grounds, the Faron Woods, and a ton of characters and other intricate details from the game.

“The Temple entrance is 6 batches of Rice Krispies and the backside of the temple is 9 cakes stacked as high as we could make it,” Turnbow writes on his YouTube video’s description. “The small tower on either side are styrofoam wrapped with fondant. My wife made and painted all of the characters out of clay except for Link (I was able to use my Figma Link).”

Mmmm, count me in for one of those fondant-wrapped styrofoam towers. I don’t like fondant though so I’ll just peel that off and eat the tower. What are the ingredients in styrofoam anyways? Does it have any trans-fat? I know I’ve had the peanuts before but I’ve never actually seen how it’s baked. “You’re an idiot.” I’ll DVR some Food Network.

Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Link Action Figure

link-toy-1.jpg

This is a fully posabe (he even has one of those clear support arms so he even perform wacky shit) Link action figure based on his appearance in Skyward Sword. It’ll cost around $ 50 when it’s released this October and is gonna look FANTASTIC on display in my foyer. “I thought you lived in a studio apartment.” I do, I just created a foyer using some of those Japanese folding screens. “Well it looks like shit.” Sure it does now, but imagine it with a Link action figure. “You’re delusional.” My cat says I’m handsome too, thank you!

Hit the jump for a bunch more worthwhile pics of him posed in different ways (including mid sword-slash!)

40/40: Zelda Skyward Sword Lands Perfect Score From Famitsu

zelda wii

The Famitsu, Japan’s (and maybe the world’s) biggest video game magazine, has tested Zelda Skyward Sword (the newest Zelda game for Wii) in their newest issue. And apparently, they liked what they played: as the first game this year, Zelda Skyward Sword scored a perfect 40/40 score.

The four testers gave away ten out of ten points each, making the Wii title the third in the Zelda series to get a perfect total score. In fact, Ocarina of Time for the N64 was the first game ever to get the 40/40 from Famitsu (in November 1998). Zelda: Wind Waker, which went on sale about four years later on the Gamecube, received the same rating.

In the US, Zelda Skyward Sword will hit stores on November 20.

Here’s a list that shows all titles that have received a perfect score from Famitsu so far:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, for Nintendo 64)
2. Soul Calibur (1999, for Dreamcast)
3. Vagrant Story (2000, for PlayStation)
4. The Legend of Zelda – The Wind Waker (2003, for GameCube)
5. Nintendogs (2005, for the DS)
6. Final Fantasy XII (2006, for PlayStation 2)
7. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, for the Wii)
8. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008, for PlayStation 3)
9. 428: Fusasareta Shibuya de (2008, for the Wii)
10. Dragon Quest IX (2009, for the DS)
11. Monster Hunter Tri (2009, for the Wii)
12. Bayonetta (2009, for PlayStation 3/XBox 360)
13. New Super Mario Bros. (2009, for Wii)
14. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (2010, for PSP)
15. Pokémon Black and White (2010, for Nintendo DS)

‘Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’ Preview

This is the preview for the upcoming ‘Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword‘ shown at the currently-happening San Diego Comic-Con. Not gonna lie, I’m getting pretty excited thinking about it (plus naked mermaids!). Yes it’ll require digging my Wii out the back of my closet, and will probably be the last game I play before selling the console at auction signed ‘The Geekologie Writer’, but it’ll be worth it. Also: buying my signed console. SixDollarsSixDollarsWe’veGotSixDollarsOverHereDoIHearAMillion?

Hit the jump AND GET PUMPED. Or don’t, it’s not my problem if you’re not into having fun.

New Zelda: Skyward Sword Trailer


Nintendo has released a new trailer for Skyward Sword, the next Zelda game for Wii. I have to say, it’s looking better than it did at E3, but maybe that’s because it’s not being controlled live. I do have faith that Nintendo will come up with quite a few interesting sword dynamics — their ingenuity is unlimited when they set their minds to it.

Not exactly looking stunning graphics-wise, but we all knew that was going to be the case.
