An Epic, 7-Minute Song About the Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Which should raise one question in your mind: Why? The Adventure of Link sucks. But that’s what makes this song so awesome — or, more specifically, more awesome than its source material. I’m sure many of you guys have seen this video from Duane and BrandO, the gents behind the almost-as-awesome Punch-Out! rap, but it was new to me when Evilshed sent it to me, and it’s far too amazing for me to not make sure everyone gets a chance to bask in its incredibleness.
