WOOT!! Got one. This shirt means alot for me cause not only was Zelda the first game I ever played but I was also born in 1986.

Zelda games are pretty much the only thing I'll play besides Minesweeper, but I'd buy it if it were green. I can get other Zelda paraphernalia...nevertheless, awesome design! Just unfortunate choice of color, IMO...

Just had to grab one... can't resist Zelda stuff.

The color didn't bother me so much as it apparently did some others.

just bought it =)

Fable- Wasn't around on the day your shirt printed so I'm late on my kudos! Congratulations on the win and on the amazing post day sales. You really know how to create winning designs! Awesome!

I hate to say that I don't have a clue what the design represents, but clearly the majority of wooters do.

Congratulations again!

Got my shirt today!

I'm a little disappointed to find that the ink isn't various shades of cream/tan/beige... but instead... it's pink.

I don't know why I was so afraid of Cream shirts.. it's really not that bad at all.. but the pink ink is really a bummer. Love the design, just wish it had come out more monochrome browns like it looks on my monitor, rather than a cream shirt with pink shading.

Thank you! It's referring to the birth of the Zelda series, and all of the really cool rpgs that were inspired by it.

...hopefully it's not pink ink... that would be weird... gyah... someone post pictures!

Sorry guys, I woulda post pictures last night but I wanted some daylight to take them in.

Please ignore the line of weird dots underneath the image. I wore it yesterday and already got something on it. Looks like I'm destined to ruin this shirt with a quickness.

Hmmm, it does appear more pinkish than I had anticipated or hoped. BUT I'm comfortable enough in my geeky masculinity that I will proudly wear this shirt anywhere (well not to like a formal event, but you get the idea).

Well that's interesting. Thanks for the pics. =)

No problem. It's not like Barbie pink... but in some light, it's pretty darn close. Flouerescent light being the biggest culprit. And being that I have the energy-saving flourescents throughout my home... well... yeah.

I love the design. I would have really liked to have seen the hearts with a bit of distressing on them, though.. just to let the shirt color show through with an 'aged' look. I think it would have really lended it's hand nicely to the great sketch below.

Here it is under flourescent light... As you can see, the colors vary depending on what's going on.. but there's definetley a pronounced pink hue to them.

did you get yours?

I like how subtle it is, though the color is kinda off-putting. Shoulda done something using green. Regardless, it's on the way to my house as I type this.

Not yet. :<

llo mine just shipped yesterday and my scurvy shirt just shipped a few minutes ago

Noice. I can say that Scurvy definitely did print well.

I just got my shirts in the mail, there's actually two different colors used for printing. I ordered one WXL, one L, and one 2XL. The 2XL had the pinkish ink, which wasn't that pink, and the other two had the less saturated ink, and looked pretty close to the image I submitted. I'm definitely pleased with the shirt though, and so is pirate Rachel Weisz.

gosh! is everyone wearing it?

dselig wrote:gosh! is everyone wearing it?

now i'm gonna wear it tomorrow

just got mine today. kinda sad about the pink ink

Not happy with the pink either. Ordered one for myself and one for my brother. Neither one of us is secure enough in our masculinity to wear a shirt with pink hearts on it. Sent a message to Woot. Maybe we can get a reprint.

Pff.

I'm wearing it in my university library as I type this. Yes, it's a cream shirt with pixelated (slightly) pink hearts on it - depending on the lighting.

But just below the hearts are a SWORD and a BOMB. Even around those unfamiliar with Zelda, I really am not worried :P

Now to wait for my scurvy shirt to get here. Fablefire fanboy for life.

Still no shirt for me. =(

It seems to enjoy taking 2 day breaks wherever it travels to...

Got my order today. Daughter took one look, yelled "LIIIIIIINK" and snatched it out of my hands, then ran off gleefully laughing. She's only asked if it's come EVERY FRIGGIN DAY since I showed it to her. Sheesh.

And fable, it looks great. Pinkish (in a beigey sort of way) but not too pink. I think it's now her favorite shirt (decomposition just dropped to 2nd place llo).

Ordered one on the 24th along with another shirt and got a shipment confirmation for the other shirt but not this one. I wonder if they put them in the same bag. I have ordered two other shirts without problems before.

I can not wait for this shirt though. I am actually really excited about it. I love shirt.woot now!

Ordered mine on the 24th too. Ordered just one shirt and have two tracking numbers on my Order. Neither of the tracking numbers work though. This is my first shirt.woot so I don't know if this is normal behavior or if I should bother the the Woot with an e-mail. Any advice?

fablefire wrote:Aww... thanks guys!

I got mine in the mail on Thursday, perfectly in time to give it to my husband for his birthday. I was the first wooter to woot, and I thought he would figure it out as he saw it Friday and told me he wanted it (I played it cool and said no, ha!) but fortunately he didn't see my screen name. He loves the shirt. Great job fablefire!

I got mine yesterday, W/M and it's not pink at all! The shirt itself is definitely cream, almost tan, and the ink is more of a brown color.

Needless to say, I love it.

Seems my shirt is on an adventure.

Kent, WA is about 3 hours north of me. I've been anxiously watching the mail for days now, only to find out it went to Indianapolis, IN?????? Do you really thing it will be here on May 3?

Just following up on my post. One of my 2 tracking numbers now has data associated with it. Seems my shirt didn't ship from my April 24th order until 5/1. Hopefully that's a result of them reprinting it without pink ink.

I still have yet to receive my shirt and I live roughly 20 miles from the woot warehouse. I e-mailed woot about this several days ago to no response, would USPS be a better office to contact?

Heh. Slowly moving westerly. Not gonna get here today.

I contacted Woot... their answer: "Please allow time for the package to arrive to you. The package may need a few extra days due to unforseen circumstances. "

A trip back east when it should be in Portland, OR is unforseen, I suppose.

Maybe it'll come back equipped with a boomerang.

Wow, and I ordered mine all the way back on the 22nd, and it finally went out on the 1st. I don't know why it went from Texas, all the way up north to Wisconsin just to make it's way to Kentucky.

Definately wasn't expecting this long of a wait, sheesh, but I got two more different shirts I ordered from Woot the other day that will hopefully be more timely.
