The Legend Of Zelda Collides With Game Of Thrones In Mashup Intro
Mashups have become an artistic genre unto themselves. And, like any style, there are good works and those you might just want to shuffle past. This is one of the better ones.
I’m not just a fan of this because it uses my favorite version of Hyrule (the one from A Link to the Past), but because it also does some smart things with musical flourishes. The video also doesn’t overstay its welcome at just a hair over one minute.
Game of Hyrule was created by YouTube channel Megasteakman. The team’s videos feature a heavy dose of sketch comedy featuring pop culture, games, and movies.
For more Game of Thrones, check out previous coverage, including the intro sequence created in LittleBigPlanet, an intro based on Skyrim, and the theme song sung by Portal 2's turret chorus. If you’re looking for something a little more authentic, our review of episode 1, episode 2, and episode 3 of Telltale’s Game of Thrones series might fit the bill.
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.
