Link becomes Freddie Mercury in this epic mashup of the classic Queen track Bohemian Rhapsody and footage from the 2003 GameCube adventure The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Using perfectly timed edits and images from the game that suit the lyrics and tone of the Queen power ballad, this video is something to behold for Queen and Zelda fans alike. If you're both, then I imagine you'll have this epic mashup on repeat. The mashup also adds a nice little touch by shifting between the live and recorded versions of the song.
The video was put together by Geekologie reader who is only identified as Ben. Ben spent 18 hours playing the game and gathering footage and then spent another 30 hours editing and putting together the video, meaning he spent a literal two days of his life putting this epic mashup together. Honestly, I think it was time well spent, especially if "this is just fantasy."
