A strange Flash-based game mashes up the Legend of Zelda, Skrillex and Superbrothers.

We don't know if this one will be for everyone. We're not really Skrillex fans here at CNET Australia, but we did spend one very memorable afternoon playing a really whack browser game called Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now, which was based on Perfect Strangers.

The link is Jason Oda, the genius (and, we think, possibly quite odd) mind behind that game, who has now released something called Skrillex Quest. If anything, it's even odder: you play a Superbrothers-styled Link in a 3D Hyrule-like workd that has been infected by glitched pixels caused by dust on a Nintendo cartridge, and it is all set to a Skrillex soundtrack.

It was the last part that eventually proved too much for us, but the game itself is something that really has to be experienced. We're not sure if it was paid for by Atlantic Records or not, but Oda is an absolute artist.

You can find it here. It takes a little while to load. Let us know how you go.
