The above is a screenshot of somethign we, the DS owning populous, will never get. It is a remarkable looking tidbit of gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: The Shards of Light. What is it might you ask? It's a homebrew DS Zelda adventure which mixes old and new gameplay with full touch screen functionality. The creator BassAceGold has made progress on bringing old school gameplay and story with new school functionality to what can only be described as a classic Zelda fan's wet dream.

Unforunately, we will probably never get to play this and the reason for that is because that homebrew games aren't exactly the most friendly for the corporate money making machine. Just like Square  before them Nintendo will probably have a rag tag team of Phoenix Wrights all over this thing within a week throwing out more Cease and Desist letters before you can say OBJECTION!

But for those dreamers out there...click here for the video of the art and here for a larger version of the above screenshot
