The Legend of Zelda becomes 3D in your browser

This could help brighten up a nostalgic gamer’s Monday morning.

Two Zelda fans, Scott Lininger and Mike Magee, have re-created the original Nintendo Entertainment System classic with 3D graphics as a way to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. Of course, it’s not exactly running in Unreal 4 or anything, but replacing the original’s sprites with 3D voxels definitely makes it look weightier while helping it retain its classic style (which might be familiar to anyone who played 3D Dot Game Heroes on the PlayStation 3). You can play this fun take on The Legend of Zelda in your browser right now.
