Today is a holiday!

Today is Zelda Day.

On this day 26 years ago Nintendo released The Legend Of Zelda, forever dooming us to exploring random caves, picking up chickens, and expecting celebratory music every time we open a drawer.

When we discovered that Zelda Day was an actual holiday outside of our own heads, and that geeks around the world celebrate this day with cosplay and song, we got curious.

What is the best way to celebrate Shigeru Miyamoto’s genius? Aside from awesome drum circles, we mean. Marathon gaming sessions and Ocarina practice? Perhaps starting work on our cosplay for next year. Knitting?

We need ideas.

 How about this: tell us about your favorite Zelda memories, about your best gaming marathons and the first time you beat a Zelda game. Are you working on a costume? Zelda related art? Do you have a Zelda-related tattoo? We must know.

Perhaps we can have a little party of our own, right here in the comments.

Happy Zelda Day, Everyone!
