• Cancel next year’s Oscars. The documentary Lil Bub & Friendz will just win everything anyway. Check out the trailer at The Frisky. Do it. Do it now.
• Remember the dad who hacked Donkey Kong so his daughter could play as Pauline? Now it’s Zelda’s turn: Kenna W. hacked The Legend of Zelda to turn its eponymous character into the hero. Says Kenna: “I played my first Zelda game when I was pretty young, and at the time, I thought the game did star Princess Zelda. I figured I’d get to play as a magical battle princess that saved her kingdom. The game was fun, but I was bummed out that I never got to play as Zelda. But like I said, I’m an adult now. There’s no one to stop me from eating candy before bed and there’s nothing standing in the way of me creating the games I want to play.” The patch and installation instructions are available on her website.
