Link to the Past with a Portal Gun is better than without a portal gun

As if we needed more proof that everything is better with a portal gun, the boys at Dorkly put one in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and the results are awesome. Any weapon that allows chickens to do the dirty work for you is a good weapon.

But really, name one thing that wouldn't be better with a portal gun. We dare you. Heavy construction sites don't count. Neither do fault lines. Or volcano cores. Fine, name four things. We dare you.

Oh man, that was pure genius with the chickens.

I was expecting a mod of sorts, but that video was totally awesome and a lot better than any sort of mod.

@The Cole Train If you know Dorkly, their videos are all kinds of awesome.

@The Cole Train

I think it needs to be made into a mod. :)

F*cking Genius!!!

I'm pretty sure this is how the pitch meeting for Darksiders went.

sweet video

Hmmm, craft brewed infused menu-
Wait what am I talking about.

Hm...four things that wouldn't be better with a portal gun...

1) Hitler
2) DDR
3) Pants
4) Zombies

@Rollins
Okay let's deconstruct this in my kind of way.
The way where nothing gets accomplished and you end up looking like a fool.
Okay, part 1.
Hitler would have no idea how to use it and end up killing himself.
Of course this would trigger someone else rising to power and casting meteor and thus destroying everything.
DDR: What's more fun than trying to figure out the puzzle of how the hell did I get here and why am I hitting arrows when you break the logic boundary of the simulator. It eventually unravels the plot of how you are in fact a machine who is tasked with menial jobs while other ones (called the precursors) are using there processing power (there referencing to YOU) to slowly kill all the other sentient machines. Why they don't just purge your memory and make you into a computing husk is beyond me and the whole plot turns to shit in act 3.
Pants: Well you got me there.
Zombies: Portal at where there respawn point is and find an incinerator that automatically empties the ashes, keeps burning, and doesn't get jammed when you put in a ton of them.
Oh wait, you meant if they had it.
Well,
That's just stupid.

And now, something completely random!

@Rollins

Hitler with a portal gun would have made a much more fun final boss for World War 2, it's current Fable 2 style ending was a bit of a let down after such an exiting build up.

@Andrew12h
What in the hell are you smoking? You got all that from his joke? Get help man

@Rollins i strategically placed portal in the pants to the toilet means no toilet break gaming!!!!!

@milliniar
Exactly! You can at least have portals on both sides of the pants to make zipping and unzipping a thing of the past.

Normally I don't go for this sort of fanboy-specific nonsense, but that was awesome.

@superchamois

Fanboy specific non-sense not found...?

That would have been useful on the water temple.

@AltairtheAssassinwhokillstuff

I dunno, could be a double edged sword. One misplaced portal and you'll drain the entirety of Lake Hyrule into the town.
