A Nintendo DS mod fit for a Hyrulian king photo

Sure, you've seen all kinds of artsy fartsy stuff on Destructoid, but rarely do we see a polished DS case mod such as this. Behold, the ultimate DS mod. The Zelda-inspired design comes with matching docking station, and the removable crest is even backlight! It comes as no surprise that this creation is also by the same guy that made the orgasmic Zelda Wii mod.

Such art, however, does not come cheap. The system is currently on eBay with nearly thirty bids for $600. Modmeister Ramon pledges that a portion of the proceeds will be awarded to Child's Play, the Penny Arcade charity.

Who can afford to buy this stuff?!! (sigh) I wonder if the buyer will actually play it or keep it protected in a desert palace somewhere, protected by angry sand mollusks. Personally, I wouldn't touch it if it was mine. If the hinge cracked I'd have to stab myself with the master sword. Twice.

Check out the gallery for sixteen views of this masterpiece. Golf claps are in order.

Oh fuck just one, that guy should make hundreds more so I can get one without paying 600$. At least it's worth the 600 compared to the PSTriple, lol

I cannot believe this only has 8 comments besides this one being up for several hours. Where are the Zelda fans @? Everyone must be watching Spiderman 3 which is awesome by the way!

This is even better than his Wii mod. And Spider-Man 3 was awesome.

This probably exceeds legal limits on awesome.

And I feel like an asshole for pointing this out, but Niero, technically, it's "fit for a Hylian king". You just got out-dorked, bitch.

Actually I thought about the Hylian thing too but really the king would be both. Hylian referring to his race and Hyrulean referring to the kingdom. Sorry, you just got out-dorked.

Massive Zelda fan right here.
