One thing not listed, but pictured here is my sealed The Legend of Zelda (NES - classic series).

I am a huge fan of the series and have every Nintendo Published game to date (not counting any remakes). I have no plans to ever get the CD-i ones, but I do have plans to collect some of the imports especially the famicom disk, famicom and super famicom versions. I also am searching for more guides.

Anyone else got pics of their Zelda collection? How is it shaping up? I hope to see some fabulous pictures!

What do you guys think of the collection I started?

Enjoy!

Very nice! sweet collection you have.
I don't have any pics of my collection as of yet. As far as Zelda goes though (I'm also a fan BTW) I have so far,
The Legend of Zelda NES (loose gold cart)
The Legend of Zelda: NES Adventures of Link (loose gold cart)
The Legend of Zelda: SNES A Link to the Past (loose w/ inst.)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time N64 (loose)
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures GCN (complete)
The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap GBA (complete)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess GCN (complete) and GCN Prima Guide

Used to have the GBC versions before I started collecting so I'll eventually get those again and also get complete versions of the ones I have loose.

Don't forget those awful cartoon DVDs (Sorry, I hated the cartoon) and a bootleg tape of the Captain N episode with Link in it. And a Nintendo SMB/Zelda cereal box.

I have a set of brand-new condition Zelda bath towels/washcloths, need to get some of those! And you need the board game, and those little plastic trophies, and the old T-shirts with link skateboarding up a wall. (I always wondered why the hell he was skateboarding) And a Legend of Zelda hat, and a Zelda Game N Watch, a set of Zelda stickers, and anything else I can think of.

Anyway, my collection consists of-

Legend of Zelda + Manual -NES (loose)
Zelda II -NES (loose)
A Link to the Past -SNES (loose)
Ocarina of Time -N64 (loose) (hated it)
Zelda I & II GBA classics (complete)
Zelda towels

And thats it. I lost interest in the games after A Link to the Past.

Very awesome dude! Nice to see all those Zelda goodies all together in the same pic!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT. Congrats! :-)

[unbroken]

I have a ton of zelda stuff, but this is my most prized item of my collection currently:



It's still sealed might I add and I'm still trying to get the illusive zelda gameboy camera and hopefully some betas.

[Mayhem]

It was nice to have a Europe exclusive on that

(and I did buy one for myself, and one for a member of these boards)

@Ckendal - so just missing the original GB (non-color) version and those lovely CD-i games I see

[jajaja]

Nice collection!

About the limited Zelda Minish Cap GBA set, there is also a more limited set of this. It was a price in some contest afaik and only 300 excist. It contains a GBA, the Zelda:MC game and a t-shirt (i think, atleast some fabric) and a certificate saying which number (i.e. 125/300) the set is. I've seen it for sale 2 times. I was trying to win it, but in the end it went to around $500, which was too much for me :\

What's the big gold box in the lower right corner?

[ckendal]

What's the big gold box in the lower right corner?

That is the Master Replica Set that was exclusive to Target. It has a 1/6th scale replica of the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. It also included the Twilight Princess soundtrack.

I may end up picking one of these things up myself. Looks pretty cool.
