Congratulations on your 35th anniversary, TLOZ! Thank you for so many amazing games.
It’s a testament to the skill and dedication of all the people who worked on this series which - despite not (majorly) changing its general formula - continues to create games which are fun, engaging and remarkable. Even games from 20-30 years back are still fun to play this day.
Though I have a really soft spot for the (adult) 3D Links, I find Link in general a very interesting protagonist. Consider this my homage to 35 years of travelling with the heroes. They don’t speak much, but they had a lot to tell.
“EW can exclusively debut an epic at-home performance of the uplifting and high-energy “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from the Broadway musical Hairspray. In a video created in partnership with Marc Shaiman — who wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics for the musical adaptation of the John Waters movie — actors, singers, dancers, and musicians from Hairspray on Broadway, Hollywood Bowl, London, the original 1988 movie, the 2007 remake, and the 2016 NBC live rendition, virtually gather to perform the iconic song from their kitchens, closets, and even from the bathtub. There are hairbrushes and kitchen utensils as impromptu microphones, family-member cameos, and pilates-inspired choreography.“

The editing on this thing is crazy-pants good, and the performances are sublimely joyful.
If you’re not chair-dancing by the end, I don’t know what to tell you. Let this thing brighten your day.
(The purpose of the video is to raise money for The Actors Fund, so if this video made you happy and you have some spare change, you can drop it here.)
