As we'd written about previously, the glorious The Legend of Zelda-themed Western, Fistful of Rupees, has debuted today! The series is from The Game Station and stars Lisa Foiles as Zelda, Rawn as Colonel Ganon, and TJ Smith as Link. Part 1: "The Wisdom," focuses mainly on the introduction of the respective players, with a few nods and winks at secondary characters, while also setting up the reason that our silent protagonist is on his quest. The other two, which you can watch after the jump, continue this plot to its unavoidable end. It is dangerous to go alone, take this link -- ha -- and share it with all your friends.

If there's something out there that could make a Western just that much better, it's obviously The Legend of Zelda. That's exactly what The Game Station thought, it seems, when they decided to make Fistful of Rupees. To be honest, we had our reservations, but after watching the video it became clear that this is precisely the kind of remix that needs to be done. Tropes from both sides have come together to provide a refreshing take on their respective genres. Plus, it stars Lisa Foiles as Zelda and apparently features lonesome ocarina solos. The three-part series debuts on August 7th. Time to start waiting impatiently!
