Legend of Zelda; Collectors Unite!

Postby TheDonovanViper » Sat Apr 28, 2012 2:03 pm

After speaking to Katsu on Twitter about whether or not he has seen my Legend of Zelda collection or not, I was quite surprised when I logged into check on the site to see if a topic was made about collecting for the series, I found nothing.

So, as a die hard collector (who has been fascinated by the series since 1994, but started collecting for the series since 2006) it has amazed me how far my collection has come along,

I uploaded the collection a week ago (the one with the cabinet showing everything I had at the time) and it hit 97 likes, so I was amazed!

Here is the album from Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 1346b92a08

(More is being added every other day!)

Now, as I have said before, I am a die hard fan of the series and was wondering what you guys have in your collection, please upload a picture of your collection as I would love to get to know more collectors, like myself!

So, fire away guys, can't wait to get to know everyone better as I usually lurk around the Buying/Selling area, so yeah!

theres no case no it came as cart only when the Ninty rep handed it over, you could keep it in one of those spare gold edition Ocarina cases though?

price I have no idea - all i know is that there will definitely not be that many around, PM me what you are reckoning, im sure we can sort something out. I'd never rip anyone off on here, especially as you look a genuine collector who would appreciate it.

Thank you ^_^

If I can remember I bought stalls tickets for around the U row I think, but I actually won tickets the week before we went so decided to see which were better and ended up around the N Row I think lol

Me too, I literally just got it it arrived on Thursday lol I've been saving my stars for yonks but in the end I stumbled upon an amazing deal on eBay so went for it lol

I've been playing games all my life, grew up with my dads Atari playing Donkey Kong, got a SNES for my 5th birthday and got ALTTP and that was me hooked on Zelda lol so always been collecting the games but only actively been collecting more stuff probably since around Spirit Tracks where I made a point of getting the tin lol

Really TNG, you won tickets too?

I won mine from GAME! I was sat in Row R seat 3! Where abouts did you win yours from?

My favourite game from the series is Link's Awakening, first game I ever completed on my own, so it has a lot of memories for me when I was 7.

Nice to hear about other people's stories about their collections, so listening to another Zelda collector and what they are interested in, really makes me happy!

Always being a Nintendo fan (ever since 2006 when I bought my 360) there has always been something about Link and the series which I cannot put my finger on, but I have loved it since I was 4 (When I first played A Link To The Past over my cousins house).

To me, Link and Zelda are far better than Peach and Mario, anyday of the week :)

Another Zelda collector here. I love the Zelda series so much that my daughters middle name is Zelda :D She'll probably hate me for it when shes older :lol:

At current I'm obtaining the DS, 3DS and Wii Zelda games brand new and sealed. I'm not overly fussed at trying to obtain the previous gen Zelda games sealed as they just cost too much. But everytime a new Zelda gets released, I'll be grabbing two copies, one to play, one to stay sealed.

My Zelda stuff is all over the place at the moment but I'll try and get it all together when I get home for a few pics.

That is awesome dude, I love the fact your daughters middle name is Zelda, I hope to have a child of my own one day and name her Zelda, Sheik! I reckon, she'd love that!

My copy of Tingle's Rosy Rupee land was sealed from ebay, paid £12.95 for it, well worth the money!

Can't wait to see your collection dude, if only more people interacted with us on this post ^.^
