Shirt.Woot

Wow, who doesn't make a full tang sword? I bet this is the joke sword they use to trick all the plucky Legendary Warriors.

It's like an a cruel college hazing prank except they are mostly doing it to young guys/girls that have either lost their memories or their home villages. How mean! Let's go loot some random houses!

If this is how things went getting the Master Sword, I shudder to think what's become of Navi...

I've played EVERY Zelda game ever. The habit has (tri)forced me to buy each new Nintendo system. I'm awaiting the new Skyward Sword game for Wii. Hum the theme all the time.

Definitely had to buy this!!!

Man, I keep on thinking of a hundred different "don't go there" type of jokes to fit this design. But I just can't do it.

It would appear that Link simply couldn't "handle" pulling out the Master Sword.

"Whoso pulleth Out This Sword of This Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of All England."
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

This is one of those shirts I had to get, for some unknown reason...

I wonder if the phallic symbolism is intentional.

When I first saw this design I seriously couldn't figure out why Link was trying to put a tuning fork into a milk bottle.

Complete Insta-buy. I dont even like brown... at all... but whatever. Great shirt to wear for Skyward Sword.

Okay, what's with the milk bottle? Is that some kinda metaphor? And his hand, the way he's holding the hilt... Again, where exactly are we going with this? Now the pièce de résistance, just examine the look on his face. I'm telling ya, Link is milking something alright.

The more I look into his face, the more it looks like Link has "Charlie Brown" eyes.

The first thing I saw when I looked at this was, "What the heck is an elf doing looking embarrassed after wrenching the odd-shaped cap off a milk carton in a stone?" But now I get it.

I told them not to outsource those to China.

Same here (except that i thought it was a booze bottle, and was wondering what kind of freakish implement he's trying to apply to it.

That's not the only thing that broke off when he tried to pull out. WOOOOOAAAAHHHH PRINCESS!

Also mega props for doing the Link to the Past forest scenery. Even more nostalgic then Ocarina.

The next Zelda game after "Skyward Sword" is tentatively entitled "404: File Not Found, or, Broken Link".

ah yes, the swords in the lost woods of link to the past remind me of this, "You have found the Master Sword...oh wait, its not."

Why is the elf trying to open a bottle with metal thingy?

Any shirt that requires an explanation is a failure.

I had only one thing that came to mind when I saw this shirt on my Woot Daily Digest...

the Triforce was not with Link today.

There can be only one.....

"Epic" and "Fail" are such overused, diluted words. The shirt title gives no insight into the joke of the shirt. Perhaps "Master Fail" would be more appropriate.

I agree, this shirt though cracked me up when I saw it. I literally laughed for 10 minutes

Now he needs a Link to the Past(e).

You know... as much as I love the Zelda series and Link I just can't get into this shirt. The style is too derpy and the sword looks like a milk bottle =S

I didn't know Biggoron forged the Master Sword too.

Your absolutely right and my only defense was I had to finish and leave my computer for an extended time and hadn't really thought of a name yet. Had to pick something to submit so there you go. I like Master Fail much better, but I'm stuck now :S

Thanks again for the support everyone!

Haters gonna hate, this shirt kicks ass. In for one.

"Condition: Slightly Overused"?!?!?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Yes, Link designs are slightly overused. This is only the - ah, never mind, I'm too lazy to count the many, many times Link has covered someone's chest here at Shirt.Woot.

...not that I don't like the design. Nice linework, tjost!

Good thing you stay true to the fact the Link to the Past, Link is left handed. Kinda feels weird that they are changing him for Skyward, I see the reason but it still would be funny to watch some one try to use their non dominate hand to swing a virtual sword (left handed people excluded).

I have a triforce tattoo... and i feel kinda offended. ive bought all the other zelda related shirts on shirtwoot.

this one is an epic fail.

Well then you have never played Zelda and the shirt is not for you simple as that. Big win in my book, if it wasn't for bills I would get this.

I also agree with my other Zelda fans it should've been called "Master Fail"

If someone doesn't get the joke on this shirt, then I dare say knowing the title isn't going to help them no matter what it's called.

The title seems fitting enough to me since the Legend of Zelda series could easily be likened to an epic.

Some assembly required.

Smile, you're on Cucco Camera.


Congrats TJ!

Not feeling the "bottle o' milk" T design. Could have been better. And there has to be a bajillyzillion ways to make fun of Zelda and this one doesn't have me playing my skin Ocarina.
