Summary
A dedicatedLegend of Zeldafan is showing off their impressive collection of games, which are all framed on their wall in their order of release. TheLegend of Zeldaseries goes all the way back to the original Famicom/NES era, with many sequels and spin-offs released over the decades since Link’s first dungeon-crawling adventure took the gaming world by storm in 1986. Virtually every Nintendo console and handheld has had at least oneZeldaentry, with the most recent example being thehighly successfulTears of the Kingdomfor the Nintendo Switch.
As to be expected with a series as popular and long-running asThe Legend of Zelda, many fans have devoted themselves to collecting the many games and tie-in merchandise the franchise has spawned over the decades. These collections can be as vast as theZeldauniverse itself, with promotional art books, golden Wii remotes, and Amiibo figures being displayed along the many mainlineZeldatitles and spin-offs. Many of these items areincredibly expensive and difficult to find, making the dedication of the fans collecting them all the more impressive.
One such example is Reddit user PlaceNo4235, who recently posted a photo of their massiveLegend of Zeldagame collection to r/zelda. Said collection features nearly every mainline and spin-offZeldaentry, from the 1986 original to the aforementionedTears of the Kingdom, all framed and displayed for all to see. PlaceNo4235 even has rare releases likeOcarina of Time Master Questfor the Nintendo GameCubeand the four-game promotionalLegend of Zelda: Collector’s Editioncompilation from 2003. Some entries even have multiple versions on display, such as the simultaneously-released GameCube and Wii ports of 2006’sTwilight Princess.
Not everyZeldagame is included in PlaceNo4235’s collection, with other Reddit users noting that such titles as the original Game Boy version ofLink’s Awakeningand theinfamousZeldaCD-i spin-off gamesare absent. Still, many have complimented PlaceNo4235 for the symmetry of their framed and mountedZeldadisplay and even shared some advice on how to maintain it when Nintendo eventually releases yet another newZeldagame - perhaps on the rumored Nintendo Switch follow-up console that has been the subject of much debate and speculation over the past couple of years.
With another sequel almost an absolute certainty and even a live-action film in the works following the success of this year’sSuper Mario Bros. Movie, theLegend of Zeldaseries has an exciting future ahead of it. Meanwhile, devoted fans like PlaceNo4235 continue to celebrate the franchise’s storied past by collecting copies of nearly every entry and framing them on their walls for visitors and online followers to see and be impressed by. PlaceNo4235 will certainly need to make space for futureLegend of Zeldainstallments, but their current display is an impressive tribute to Nintendo’s long-running and influential series.
