This Legend Of Zelda Afghan Took 100 Hours To Crochet, Is Totally Amazing

Check out this Etsy seller's hand-crocheted Legend of Zelda afghan. It's incredible.

You can find pretty much any kind of handmade good your nerdy heart desires on Etsy, but some products stand out more than others.  I think this afghan is one of them.  The seller, Niki P, said the first one took her approximately 100 hours to make, and the finished work contained all of Link's 208 pixels. 

If you want her to make you one, you'll first have to come up with $312 and then find the patience to wait four weeks while she toils away at your fancy made-to-order blankie.

If you like her handiwork but want an afghan featuring a different pixelated character, you're in luck--she also accepts custom requests.

  • cool and first

  • It'll be nice knowing I have a little Hyrulien fella' protecting me as I sleep.
  • The ironic thing is that it probably took the programmers around 12 to make the default model.
  • I feel safer already

  • Oh, people who have too much time on their hands, what would the world be without you?

    It would be a lot more depressing, that's for sure.

  • I crochet video game themed stuff as well, and I am glad to see that people are excited about this craft. I love combining my crocheting with video games wheteher it is a blanket like this or little amigurumis or even hats and scarfs

  • This person is about to make a lot of money.
  • Thats $3.12 an hour.
  • Reminds me of the semi-mysterious "My girlfriend (or sister) made me this" reddit posts... 85% of the time ends up being art, craft or food themed after Nintendo franchises.

    *shrug* While the modern state of Nintendo fandom (The surge of Etsy and deviantart pieces, retail clothing/accessories etc) is borderline fad status, it's always been interesting to see how fan love manages to keep itself perpetuated based almost entirely on iconic imagery or soundbites.
  • I've observed swordfish just rave about their afternoon gatherings, involving tea and heated political discussions. this week, those fiesty fish had much to say about the growing issue of stingray populations- they fear it is out of their fins now.
  • Cool!
  • That's awesome! I so want one but don't have the money for it :(
  • Sold!... when the price goes down. Or when I get paid. This may take a while :|

  • Wow, this is awesome! If I had the $312 to spare, I'd definitely make the purchase. Great job Ms. Niki.

  • Why didn't I think of this?! I've been working on an afghan too, but now I think a mario blanket is in my future. :D

  • Dang, that's pretty sweet!  Can't say I'd shell out $312 for it, but it's pretty cool.

  • Huh?  Who knew Etsy was actually good for something?
