Make Your Own Zelda Chest With Iconic "Opening" Sound
Instructables is a cool website that offers step-by-step instructions on everything from making quilts to "probiotic ginger beer." Just just came across one cool craft project that will be of interest to gamers: a detailed plan on how to make your own replica Zelda treasure chest -- one that even plays the iconic "opening" sound from the game.
While you'll have to go to the page on Instructables to get the full plan (done by user "pkmnjunky7"), the audio portion of the magic is done through the use of a "cheap mp3 player" and a "SPDT level switch from Radio Shack." This is pretty creative, and it works, too. We've got the YouTube video to prove it.
(good lookin' out to the big homie Percy M. for the tip)
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
