Zelda Fan Plays With Himself

Here's how to impress at least three people at a party.

I'm not sure who started the original "clone-cappella" but it seems to be the growing art form of choice for tuneful fanboys. It's great to see so many things that were once the torch bearers of nerdom coverge to burn down the thorny walls of ostracism. Here's what I assume to be a totally socially-celebrated man paying homage to the Zelda series with some clever arrangements and an amazing selection of hats.

  

It's not bad at all. I now present the first one of these I remember seeing. In my personal opinion, this guy is still the champ.

  

Now that I think about it, I have a very vivid memory of a friend and me recording ourselves singing EMF's "Unbelieveable".  I don't think I can express to you how grateful I am to have grown up before YouTube.

Thanks to Kotaku for the tip on this one.

These people may have children some day, and those children will also bear the human fruit - and one day they will find the videos of what their grandparents did in their youth
There will be a lot of suicides that generation

Vinny, I would pay no small sum of money to see this.
