The sad thing is, my old college roommate actually did play through the original Zelda (getting all the way to Ganon) without getting a sword. It’s a thing you can actually do! Talk about hard mode. Of course you do need to pick up a few items other than just the “smashing board!”

    I played through Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks without getting a shield. No biggie.

  2. M4DD4WG on November 8th, 2010 4:35 pm

    Must have taken this instead http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/02/09/its-dang

    So what?

    I can kill over a million puppies in under twelve seconds…without a sword.or any sort of weapon.

    I just sort of smile at them.

  4. Ozymil on November 8th, 2010 4:41 pm

    That's the sharpest shield I've ever seen.

  5. Darkangelsv1 on November 8th, 2010 4:56 pm

    WARNING! CHALLENGER APPROACHING!
    Smashboard Link.

    And he will be as OP as f*ck.

  6. Ozymil on November 8th, 2010 5:09 pm

    Psh, break that against the nearest hard surface and you've got yourself a new set of brass knuckles.

    Or porcelain knuckles in this case.

  7. GuessWho666 on November 8th, 2010 5:11 pm

    Ultimate source of power my ass.

  8. Dimomarg on November 8th, 2010 5:23 pm

    Spanky Smashy counts as defence… right?

  9. HeavyDDR99 on November 8th, 2010 5:25 pm

    and that is how my puppy died

    although….. he was rapping…..

  10. dekuskrub1 on November 8th, 2010 5:31 pm

    the real reason the mirror shield is so effective is because the edges of it are sharpened to the point where it can cut diamonds

  11. Alpar on November 8th, 2010 5:38 pm

    He's looking up to Gordon Freeman. Taking up nothing but one item like a man..

  12. Weibbles on November 8th, 2010 5:40 pm

    And thus the legendary Smashing Board was placed in the new Temple of Crushed Bones, after the legendary sword was thrown out. Some say that -like the source of ultimate power- it was thrown into a recycling bin and made a really nice drink can.

    It's dangerous to go alone, drink this! rel="nofollow">…Ladies.

  14. Barry Allen on November 8th, 2010 5:47 pm

    That was pretty funny….Ladies

  15. Jade Catima on November 8th, 2010 5:52 pm

    +1 for you… ladies

  16. Jimmy on November 8th, 2010 6:08 pm

    …DAT ASS!!!

  17. meinmattias on November 8th, 2010 6:08 pm

    The small smashing board, too; not the big one. Pro.

  18. Miketuu on November 8th, 2010 6:29 pm

    It cost Kaiba $400,000 to kill a million puppies, in twelve seconds.

  19. YourPalHal on November 8th, 2010 6:34 pm

    It's a shield dammit! Why can't you-- wait, what are you doing? Oh no. Don't come here, and put away that shie- I meant smashing board. See? I said smashing board, so let's be friends again. Please? Oh triforce, no. No! NO! NOOOOOOOO-

    *the whackings of a smashing board echoes through the dungeon*

  20. GameboyPATH on November 8th, 2010 7:10 pm

    Sometimes, the best offense is a good… uh…

  21. Mentlegen on November 8th, 2010 7:54 pm

    Screw the costs, he got money!

  22. KamikazeGible on November 8th, 2010 8:10 pm

    Chaos emeralds? Master balls?! Psssh! With my handy dandy smashing board, nothing can possibly go wrong.

  23. Neentendow on November 8th, 2010 8:18 pm
  24. Neentendow on November 8th, 2010 8:19 pm

    The shield can now cut diamonds.
    Anything is possible when you smell like potions.

    And this is the first time that anyone used my submission to support a comment.
    Thank you my kind good sir.

  26. Seto_Kaiba on November 8th, 2010 8:32 pm

    I have no idea which is scarier:
    rapping dogs from the early 20th century
    or
    this: rel="nofollow">

  27. Seto_Kaiba on November 8th, 2010 8:39 pm

    This may be unwanted and cause an army of -1 trolls to attempt to drain my infinite reserves of epeen (seconded only to my infinite plus reserves of money), but…

    if Link played runescape as a pker, all the little babies would be screaming that his shield needed to be nerfed like the barrelchest anchor. They'd also bitch about the fact that they got their asses cut open and served on a golden triforce platter by a SHIELD.

  28. shadow649 on November 8th, 2010 8:47 pm

    And next you'll tell me that in borderlands you were supposed to get a gun? Hahahahaha I thought the knife and the throwable eagle were the main weapons. No wonder it was so damn hard.

  29. shadow649 on November 8th, 2010 8:49 pm

    OOOH I know this one! It's a shotgun! right?

  30. shadow649 on November 8th, 2010 8:52 pm

    But i don't think that applies during a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.

  31. shadow649 on November 8th, 2010 8:53 pm

    Ya I only picked up the SMG! I'm pro!!! :P wait what crowbar?

  32. Alpar on November 8th, 2010 8:55 pm

    We're on the internet.

  33. BoxeyBrown on November 8th, 2010 9:38 pm

    Oak wont let you leave without one…

    Can't let you Lady that …Ladies.

    No spaces after the < and before the >, though

  42. AuraMaster on November 9th, 2010 1:36 am

    Enter it after the closing bracket, and then follow up with < /a >, but without the spaces.

    …Ladies.

  43. AuraMaster on November 9th, 2010 1:38 am

    All in favor of Link getting the Smashing Board in Skyward Sword, please say "aye".

  44. DM1293 on November 9th, 2010 1:40 am

    I think Spoonyone said it best.

    "BITCH I GOT A BOMB!"

  45. dope92 on November 9th, 2010 4:49 am

    so what do you do to kill the monsters?

  46. tstriker1 on November 9th, 2010 6:46 am

    Yeah, but he'd probably throw that away to….

  47. tstriker1 on November 9th, 2010 6:49 am

    Swordless and powerless link IS PIMP!!!

  48. Jade Catima on November 9th, 2010 11:31 am
