The Legend of Zelda fans are some of the most talented and passionate members of the gaming community, time and time again showcasing their fandom of the legendary franchise with impressive creations. As if chosen by Hylia herself, a Zeldamega fan transformed their basement into a haven that looks like a dungeon from the games.
Since 1986 The Legend of Zelda has been inspriing gamers around the world through its magical worlds, iconography, and polish. Whether a fan from the original NES game, or a newcomer who joined the community with Breath of the Wild, the franchise conveys an unbridled sense of adventure and discovery, with age old stories and pristine world design. Although it is rather difficult explaining the story of The Legend of Zelda due to its messy timeline, every game to varying degrees makes references to previous titles, and in turn, has built a compendium of lore and symbols that have become recognizable throughout gaming.

Reddit user _edlothian_ recently uploaded their incredible gaming room to The Legend of Zelda subreddit, and it is blowing people away. To borrow their terminology, this is not just a gaming room but a "Zelda Sanctuary," transporting those who descend the renovated cellar steps straight into Hyrule. The walls of the hallway are composed of ancient-looking grey stonework adorned with Hylian text that runs the length of the corridor and scattered foliage, all of which is illuminated by torchlight. Of the series' icons,The Legend of Zelda's dungeons are among its best, edlothian totally nailing their aesthetic before even entering the main room. Click here to see the rest of the images.

When one actually enters the space, the number of references and details are overwhelming, no space being wasted whatsoever. Music has always played a pivotal role in the franchise, it being a difficult task listing The Legend of Zelda's best songs. However, in one corner of the room are the note charts of some of Ocarina of Time's playable songs, raised off the wall and featuring the original N64 button inputs as they appeared back then. Another wall is dedicated simply to the mural of the iconic illustration of the Hero of Winds from Wind Waker, as if it was ripped right out of that game's introduction.
Naturally, the comments on edlothian's post are of praise and of jealousy, people wishing they could have that room. Edlothian in the comments links to their Facebook page which features a gallery of the room's progress, capturing its evolution through the entire development process; white, poster-laden walls to a dungeon entrance. Like another recent gamer who showed off their Fallout inspired room, the dedication of edlothian is truly commendable. While it may certainly look like it, fortunately, edlothian is not actually in a The Legend of Zelda game—with their luck, the moon would be crashing down and they would have to start all over again.
