Fool! You will never know the power of all systems until you have explored and learned them!

I'm writing this on a Powerbook G4 as I speak, while doing Photoshop work on my PC in Windows 2000 and 3ds max work in Windows XP (that would be my infamous multi-boot from hell main desktop), with my Thinkpad 600E (aka my development laptop) running Gentoo Linux...

Oh, yeah, and sitting behind me is an Apple ][ :D

Aye aye, Cap'n!

No, I no longer use IE. I do not wish to be inundated with demands that I switch to Opera, Mozilla, Firefox, or anything else.

I thought some of my fellow Zelda fans might like that one. :) The cool thing about that pic was that even though I was only able to find it in 1024x768, it is so detailed that I was able to bring up to 1280x1024 with Irfan View, without any hint of pixelation.

Of course, that screws up the aspect ratio a tiny bit, but it's hardly noticable.

Do you want it in 1024x768 or 1280x1024?

If the latter, are you able to recieve 900k attachments?

Alan, Ace, check your PM's.

Would it be ok to post the URL in this thread, since I get the feeling a few more people might want it?

Well, if it was 1024 to begin with, I'll take that image. I can stretch it myself if necessary, but my desktop is currently at that resolution so I have no reason to just now.

Ok, I PM'd you the 1280 version without thinking. I found the 1024 version on google. You can get it here.

I've been looking for a wallpaper of the Master Sword in the pedestal from the end of Ocarina for a long, long time.

You've probably already seen it, but there's this one.

Not nearly as nice, and it has that ugly URL stuck on it.

It looks almost like anime, making it inherently evil. :P
