I have no idea what Nintendo was thinking when they created this commercial for one of the greatest games ever, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the SNES. With so much going for the game they had plenty of ways to show of the game. But we all know that Nintendo like to do things differently and at least we now know how they party in Hyrule.

Check out these neat tutorials on how to make these LEGO figures of loved Nintendo characters and if you have the LEGO pieces lying around you can try it too. If not enjoy just enjoy the video and the theme tunes in the background.

You may have noticed my love for cakes before (Check these out: Dalek cake, cartoon cakes, link cake, mario cake and video game cakes) so I was very excited to stumble across a new blog dedicated entirely to cakes based on video games. I am planning on creating mega retro gaming cake one day and this is the perfect place for inspiration. The few cakes on the site are mouth watering and I can not wait to see what other cakes GameCakes showcase.
