Create your own Zelda arcade cabinet with this step-by-step how-to

The Minish Cap. The Ocarina of Time. The Wind Waker. Majora's Mask. All of these are powerful Legend of Zelda universe artifacts that can change lives. And now, we can add one more: The Arcade Cabinet. Instructables.com user "phrazelle" has constructed a beautiful Legend of Zelda-themed, 22-button, two-player cabinet designed to work with a Raspberry Pi running a Nintendo 64 emulator, allowing you to play your favorite N64 games (you know, like Pokemon Snap!) in a totally new way.

What's more, they've outlined how you can create your own. The good news is, it won't take a long-forgotten sword or countless rupees to accomplish: just some plywood, a few wires, buttons, LEDs and a Raspberry Pi 2 will get the job done. Check out the full list of step-by-step instructions and let us know of any other fun do-it-yourself projects in the comments!
