Hyrule's Market Village getting brought to life in the UK
21
The Legend of Zelda's iconic Market Village is being brought to life for an upcoming Nottingham, UK game festival, GameCity6. But don't worry about ReDeads, as the real-life recreation won't represent the village from Ocarina of Time's adult Link world, but rather a pastiche of several games.
Attendees can get their fetch questing on with a Triforce piece collection game, they can create swords and shields (we're guessing of the wooden or cardboard variety), and they can even go lips-on with an ocarina. If that weren't enough, you could always hang with the Hyrulian droogs in the LonLon Milk Bar. The entire day is actually dedicated to Zelda-themed activities, so perhaps this is finally a chance to bake those Navi-shaped sugar cookies. After waiting for what seemed like forever, too!

Sometimes I like to contemplate dropping everything in my life, taking a large loan from a bank, and travelling where I please, when I please.
But I lack the balls. So, once again, I'm going to be missing out on an event that I'm sure I'd really enjoy.

because everything is too corporate and lawsuit happy to exist like this in the US. Surely someone would complain that they thought they slipped into a hallucination or were dying or something and blame Nintendo for mental stress seeking compensation for damages.

Used to be real horrowshow. All the devotchaka's moved away too, no more of the old in-out-in-out. Now I feel all oddy-knocky.

Seven years later, it will be a zombie-infested abandoned market.
