Since lurking around here at the end of '06, first commenting for a photoshop contest in the beginning of '07 (yeah I was THAT guy), then bringing the Advent Calendartoid to all via C-Blogs, Destructoid has always provided the opportunity for me to share some of the stuff I got in my head. You have to admit -- this community is generally the most embracing and constructive gaming communities out there on and off the webZ.
It's true! Just talk to anyone who saw my artwork before I started spending more time on Destructoid than playing games, and you'll notice theres actually something in my portfolio now. I always thought "gaming art" was unoriginal, cliché, and an excuse to draw boobs on Sonic ... and it usually is ... (-_-), but it can also be used to mix ideas, and hanging around this community taught me that.
So when Hamza notified me to do something for two freaking YEARS going by already, the answer was yes. Then I nabbed Cowzilla for his writing skills, and HarassmentPanda joined us in a DC bar to talk about making what you see above.
Anyway enjoy, heres to Destructoid for its awesomeness, and even more awesomeness to come.
That was truly EPIC.
I really congratulate you to be able to come out with an art style that resembles those old ancient pictures, always told on the Zelda series.

Rockvillian, it's more beautiful than anyone could have ever imagined. I'm humbled to have my name anywhere near this project, but any time you need inspiration or garlic fries... you know where to find me.
I agree with ceark....I WAS gonna come and write that was epic, but there needs to be an even more epic word than "epic" to describe that video....I just dont know what that is :(
0:54 should be a picture memorialized in Destructoid history. It's just the perfect feel for how this site has grown from obscure to true top-shelf. Screw selling out, you guys make your paycheck by making your community as capable of making the front page as your established writers. You are a true blog, now lets see what happens after Neiro puts his pants back on.
I LOLed so freakin' hard at the "many wolves perished" line. That better be in reference to those "save the wolves" ads that ran way back when, because that is what came to my mind. If it is, I applaud thee.
That was so freaking awesome. How many websites have stuff like this? NONE! The Destructoid Legend could only be told through cool pictures and Zelda music naturally of course..
