I laughed for a second or two…
Zelda should be more ethnically diverse. They should have black Link, asian Princess Zelda and latino Ganondorf.
^ BUT THEN THERE WOULD BE NO WHITES
Huh… Can we get a costume change?! I want this guy in black, green is not for him. Oh, and get him a black shield, a black sword…. There we go, now we got a black link… Completely black…
Meh, I lost where I was going with this. It’s enough to warant a small laugh, but you can do better. Plus Link needs a gun to cap Ganon, not his sword.
What about his boomerang, or his bow, or maybe even his hook-shot!
WHO CARES? HE IS A BLACK COSPLAYER (rare) AND HE IS ON UR INTERNETS!
The funny thing is he looks better and much less nerdier than most overweight/very skinny nerdy cosplayers. Still, well made. 5 stars
pollitical correctiness will do this one day… and i will welcome this with open arms
Just when you thought racism couldn’t get any more racismer. :P
black link>white link
i’d be nice to have black link,that way i can just steal crap
…
MAN that was racist xD
@Nick Soapdish
Nooooo put Ganon in a wheelchair. It will show people that the handicapped are handicapable… and evil people that want to kill us all!!!! :D
I Actually Laughed Pretty Hard At This. :P
LOLLYLOPS
hoe? Ganon has resorted to stealing garden implements now has he?
@canadian bacon
Your post suddenly made me regret sendint that one in… WHY!!! QQ
Seen it before but still made me chuckle. 3/5
Come on guys, just because this is a nerd site doesn’t mean we have to be racist.(Although it was funny)
so what will dark link look like?
If link was black maybe he’d steal a bike instead of a horse in OoT…
Everybody, you are confusing racism with stereotypes…. this is nothing racist. I, for one am black and NOT offended, because a certain percentage of the black community STILL talks like that… I know… i heard….
Still, I LOL’d when i saw this….
You can’t cap someone with a sword. 1/5
West side suckas!
Hyrule be representin!
… are there any minorities in any of the zelda games?
i dont really know how to count ganon as anything because apparently evil changes your skin color (akuma) and also he sometimes transforms into animals… not sure what that means in terms of ethnicity
Old picture is friggen old, but still funny.
moar liek, DE-CAP’ Ganon, amirite?
I don’t find it funny, but Wow. Finally, a guy to pull off Link. I usually see girls cross-playing as him. And I dunno, I like the green on him
Spike Lee’s The Legend of Zelda -- because all other adaptations overlook the contribution of the black Hyrulian to the history of Hyrule, and we’re not on the plantation anymore, old men.
lol, the Jesus one gets 3 1/2 stars for being offensive, and the racist one gets 4 1/2?
lol, it’s a good un anyway.
ahahahahahahahahahaha epic.
Somehow I would have expected “Dark Link”.
Right. Because there’s NO WAY a black link could be just as heroic and admirable, no, he gotta be skrait up ignant nucka frumma ghetto talkin like he aint got no education fo sho.
This isn’t funny, it’s racist as shit.
um newsflash people, to those criticizing this pic, the internet is a scary plasce. this would eventually show up
This is racist as all hell.
Bucky hit this dead on.
The phrase nuked me <8D
When you’re more offended than the person who’s being mocked, you know that political correctness has brainwashed America.
What if it was a nerd cosplayer in the picture, and the caption was technical gibberish? How offended would you be then?
Not the same. At all.
This picture is offensive to me personally.
As a matter of fact, you don’t know if the person in the photo ever saw this.
It’s offensive- yet humorous. Such things go hand and hand.
I also happen to make more racist jokes when I have friends of different races around, and they go and insult me back. Great fun!
I’m black, and I find this funny.
Seriously, I can’t say I’m proud of all the stereotypes associated with “my people” but sometimes, you just gotta laugh.
I think that this would have been better, had he gone the way of shadow link. Red contacts, black tunic, and so on.
Also… the caption needs to die. At least we could have had an Obama joke.
Wow. How low can this site go?
It woulda been nice if it said "I'ma go shank his ass"
Get your ghetto terminology right.
