What better way to venture off into Hyrule than with these snazzy Legend of Zelda shoes? Recreating the scenery from the original NES game, these kicks are sure to draw the envy of video game geeks around the world (like ourselves). They're also not too expensive; Etsy user ohmy will create a custom pair in your size for only $42.

To get a glimpse of the rest of the shoes, click past the break for pictures of the awesome heart-lined sides, as well as the Triforce-drawn backs.

Brawl sneakers sprint into our hearts

The rabid excitement of the pre-Brawl days affected us all in different ways. Fueled by daily dojo updates, some simply crossed dates off on a calendar, while others we would bore their our friends senseless about one day playing as Snake. Joseph Colon did something far, far cooler: he grabbed a pair of plain old white Nike Air Force 1s, went to town on them with a marker pen, and made something beautiful.

These customized sneakers feature all 36 Brawlers, as hand-drawn by Joseph himself, who clearly doesn't lack talent. The results are fantastic, and we'd totally wear these while "shooting hoops" at the local court if, you know:
  1. We ever actually went outside
  2. We were in any way whatsoever sporty

Not quite Kuribo's Shoe, but still pretty cool

Finally, a shoe company figures out a celebrity mascot who really embodies jumping ability. These Run Legacy X Nintendo 2007 sneakers are extremely limited-edition: only 400 pairs are being produced. And they go on sale today, which means they're probably gone by the time you read this.

But if they aren't gone, and you do like them, and you do have $120 to spend on some nice-looking, but also incredibly nerdy sneakers, then this is your lucky day! And every pair comes with a free Nintendo X Run Legacy shirt. You can't beat that for a bargain, unless you purchase a reasonably-priced pair of shoes and a t-shirt!
