Alyse isn't just your usual Legend of Zelda fan -- aside from the drawer full of Link-themed clothing and decorative Majora's Mask cup set sitting in her cupboard, she's now also the proud owner of the gigantic Lego mosaic you see above. The product of her brow's sweat and her hand's work, the mosaic was created for Brickcon, an annual event that celebrates adult Lego hobbyists.
Head on over to her Flickr account for shots of the impressive feat throughout its development (the above shot is of her husband, Remi, and the Lego computer case he built), something Alyse documented because she "was inspired by many of the stained glass artwork from Wind Waker." If we had enough patience to do something like this, we probably wouldn't have jobs on the internet.

It's cool, but not impressive at all. Anyone with enough money for that many Lego bricks, an original image, some graphing paper, and a decent chunk of time could do the same. Even easier since the layout can be, and is, done automatically by computers instead of by hand using graphing paper.

Did I say it wasn't beautiful or whatever? I said it isn't impressive. And you're a moron.

It doesn't even really look THAT good, nor is it very large.

Dude. It's made out of freaking LEGOs. It's not supposed to look like something Da Vinci painted. I think that looks amazing considering what he had to work with.

Nnnno, not really. Link's mouth is hilarious. I've seen much better Lego mosiacs from people who had even more time on their hands.

I've written quite a few things that are more creative than making a video game image out of Legos, which in itself is old hat now. I'm pretty sure most have turned to papercraft. I'm not sure what the next Nerd Medium Of Choice will be.

A GUY did not make that. It was his girlfriend. He said so on one of the Flickr pages.

It's effing awesome, but I'm holding out on some stained-glass windows, a la Wind Waker intro.

I enjoy this very much considering I'm a huge Zelda fan, and the fact that I work at one of the LEGO stores in the US.
