Summer Update #3
17.09.23

Well, more
like late summer, but whatever. I've added all hearts
except the one for ToTK.
A lot is
incomplete, but at least they're there. :D
Summer Update #2
20.07.23
Next, I'm
starting to add all extra information I have on my personal
items.
Ever since I
started collecting I've been doing tons of research on anything
and everything. I sometimes write a bit information on my
instagram, but I still have tons of info and photos of certain
items. My goal was to put all of it up on this site so that
people searching for the story behind an item would easily find
it here, either by randomly searching in google and ending up
here, or by me just sending them a link.
Not everything
deserves a full site with extra information (and there's no way
I could do that with 2000+ items anyways), but I'll definitely
add everything I have on my favorites (the ones I already have
pictured in my personal item-sites).
Summer Update #1
05.07.23
IT IS TIME,
BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER TIME..
- Added 2 new
hearts (Spirit Tracks & Ocarina of Time 3D)
- Added three
new empty hearts (LA Remake, SSHD, ToTK)
- Fixed the
banner so it will stretch after size of screen
- Added E3
2021 and Gamescom 2022 digital events
-Added a new
section in the ingame-sites called "Extra Challenges and Goals"
I want to just
add all hearts even though the database and some of the gameplay
will be incomplete.
I'm tired of
looking at the empty ones! x_x
Current progress
21.02.23

Another year,
another birthday. Happy 37th Anniversary, The Legend of
Zelda!
I swear I'm
working on updates here, it's just been a slow progress..
I went back to
BoTW this year as planned, and I'm hoping to
be 100% done with everything before the new release in May!
I'M
SO EXCITED
Tears of the
Kingdom
13.10.22

Love the title
for the upcoming game. They definitely copied my site's name for
that one. Haha!
Unfortunately,
we'll have to wait until next year to play it. Oh well.
But oh my gosh
that statue they showed off at Nintendo Live is gorgeous!
I'm currently
updating as much as I can in the database for the first game,
and it takes forever. ..especially since I don't really have the
time to do anything with a 100% class teacher job and a baby. I
think my goal at this point is to be done before I die. xD
And I'm
currently playing through Majora's Mask 3D which I'll hopefully
complete before the end of this year. After that, I'll go back
to Breath of the Wild to finish up some collections in there
before the sequel comes out in May.
Breath of the
Wild
03.03.22

Today
marks the 5th anniversary of Breath of the Wild! And I actually
just received the golden poop as well, so that was perfectly
timed.. I only have a few more things to do now before it is
100% completed, so that's a good feeling. I really hope the
sequel will be released this year. Can't wait!
Added the sites
back, plan for next year
30.11.21

Okay, so far
so good. Now I just need to add some sort of "footer" and a few
more things to make it look better, and then I can finally
continue with the new database galleries.
I'm almost
done with my playthrough of Skyward Sword HD. My goal was to
complete it before Christmas, and it looks like I will be able
to do that. BoTW however.. I guess I will continue farming those
poops next year as well. Would be nice to finish it BEFORE the
sequel comes out, haha. I think that would be my main goal as of
now.
Oh no.. here we
go again
16.10.21

Yeah I don't
really know what I'm doing anymore (and to be fair I never did).
xD
As you can see,
I'm doing another update. I decided to remove that stupid inline
frame, because it was annoying to scroll on two different places.
I've also started the process of adding BIG pictures in the
database gallery, using some javascript.
For now, all
icons to sites will be deactivated. I'll add them back on once
everything is updated to fit this new layout. The database will
probaby stay as it is with the small pictures, and then I'll
just update whenever I've added the new big ones.
Also, I don't
even know if this is the final look of the site. I might
re-adjust and fix more stuff as I'm going through everything.
Phantom Hourglass
30.06.21

..has now been
added.

The Year of
Skyward Sword
21.05.21

Not only is
this year Zelda's anniversary, but the game Skyward Sword
celebrates 10 years as well.
During the
direct in February, Nintendo revealed that a HD version of the
game will be available on the 16th of July. I'm currently almost
done with my 100% playthrough of the WIi version, and I'm really
curious about the new versions differences.. we already know
about the controllers - which I love (I HATE MOTION CONTROLS),
but will there be more? An Amiibo was also revealed a few days
ago,
which will make Link's travelling back to the sky a lot easier.
I feel like there are enough bird statues spread out in general,
but I guess it wouldn't hurt being able to save/go back during
any point in the Temples.
The Legend of
Zelda 35th Anniversary
21.02.21

Happy Birthday,
Zelda!
35 years ago,
the first Zelda game was released.
In the occasion
of this, I've finally managed to play through the Second Quest and
added that to the in-game section!
The Minish Cap,
Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker
19.02.21

The new update
got a bit delayed
because of my newborn baby, but three new hearts have now
finally been
added.
♥♥♥
End of 2020
28.12.20

HAPPY
HOLIDAYS!
Another update
is coming in January (I'm almost done).
See you in
2021!
BIG Update
30.09.20

This is
one of the biggest updates I've done, because I decided to re-do
almost all of the pictures in the galleries.. They're still
quite small (because I don't want to use up the website space
I'm already paying a certain amount for), but the quality is
better + I've split up figures and added all variations. I also
added lots of other things around the site. More details about
everything:
Index
Updates
-Added Stray Fairies to the right, showing all current Zelda
activities etc.
-Added some
photos and information about my old websites in the About.
-Added a
Bergsala visit and ZU's 30th Anniversary Contest in the Events.
-Added a
picture of my collection being a meme in the Media.
Banner
Updates
-Oracle of
Ages / Seasons
♥
-Four Swords
♥
Picture Gallery Updates
-Changed most of the pictures so they look clearer.
-Added seperate pictures of all figures, cards, stickers etc.
for the previous games.
-Added color variations for the previous games. They will be in
the same picture, but counts as individual items, just like an
official count by GWR (3 color variations = 3 items). Boxed
items/sets always count as one item, and will only show up in
one picture.
-Added an "Unofficial"
section (I could basically put anything here from Etsy, but I'll
try to focus on items people often mistake as being official).
These items do not count for the total amount at the bottom.
-Added a total of 504 new items.
ONGOING
UPDATE: Added a little information for each item, which you
can see by hovering over the picture. I'm only done with OoA/OoS
and FS so far, but obviously the main goal is to do it with ALL
pictures..
In-Game Updates
-Added a picture of my save-file and the Photo Album pictures in
Link's Awakening DX.
Ocarina of Time &
Majora's Mask
12.08.20

Two new
hearts have been added.
♥♥
On to the next
update..
Current status
14.07.20

Summer is
finally here. It's definitely been a weird time.. not just for
me I'm sure, but for the whole world. In my particular case I
was working from home from the end of March, and that was fine.
As of right now though, it looks like I won't be going back to
work at all this year. So that means I suddenly have a whole
lot of time on my hands to just do whatever. Anything except
travelling, obviously.
So, I'm
currently trying to update as much as possible on this site, and
I'll hopefully be done with the Ocarina of Time + Majora's Mask
section this summer. And then I'll just continue on with all
games up to the game I'm currently playing. I just finished
Phantom Hourglass, so I'll be starting on Spirit Tracks next.
Other than
that I don't have much else planned. Just trying to eat a bit
more healthy and going for short walks in safe areas, as I tend
to sit on my ass way more than I should now especially during
this situation!
The start of 2020
did not go as planned..
13.04.20

Hmmm...
Strange times.
Happy New Year!
01.01.20

I definitely
got a few plans and goals for 2020.. do you?
Happy New
Year!
Gamescom
30.08.19

Added pictures
from my time in Cologne to the Event site!
Picture update
13.08.19
Added about 50
new pictures to the merchandise gallery, including a total
number of each section.
So far, I have
1055 pictures (LoZ, AoL, ALttP and LA together). And I'm far
from even halfway. ..which tells you a lot about how much Zelda
merchandise is actually out there.
Link's Awakening
25.05.19

I still can't
believe that a remake of this game is coming soon.. Can't wait
to play it!
But this
update is for the one from 1993/1998. The database with pictures
didn't take too long this time, as there's not a lot of
merchandise from this game out there. Which is kinda sad.
A Link
to the Past
01.03.19
Just finished
the third heart. .. only 18
more to go! X) I wonder how many I'll get done this year?
I have a few
more LoZ/AoL merchandise pictures to put up as well, but I'll do
it with the next update.
Welcome!
30.12.18
One of my
goals for this year was to make a new Zelda-site. It's obviously
far from done, but at least it's here now. Just another lifetime
project. Yay.. xD
After I got my world record, I've had random people commenting
on my collection, both positive and negative comments. It has
definitely had an impact on my focus and general goals for my
Zelda collection. And I think this site is reflecting a lot of
it as well;
Majora’s Mask. “She even has good taste; her favorite
game is Majora’s Mask.”
MM has always been my favorite, and always will be. I feel like
this is the game you either love or hate though, as it’s just so
different from the other ones. But as a horror-fan, I love every
little creepy detail in that game, and that’s just how it is.
Agree or disagree, that’s ok, it's just a matter of taste and
preference.
The games. “I bet she never even played any of the
games..”
Ouch. Because
I’m female? Is that still a thing in 2018? Well, I can’t say
that I’ve beaten ALL Zelda games, because I haven’t. And also if
I did, I can’t prove it, because I didn’t take any screenshots
or pictures when I was playing through them many years ago. So
another goal this year was to start a playthrough of all of them
while documenting it, starting with The Legend of Zelda from
1986. And I also wanted to do a 100% completion as I love
collecting things. So this site is now much more focused on the
actual games and my achievements in them.
Quality vs Quantity.
So, there were
a lot of comments about what my collection was actually
consisting of. Hardcore collectors could easily see my rare
items, while others just saw a bunch of random toys and
worthless plastic. Some said the record was not impressive
because it could easily be beaten if you have a lot of money (which
is true), while others argued it’s not that easy because it
takes a lot of time and effort to actually find some of these
items. “The point he is making is that with a lot of money,
you could easily use the internet to probably get pretty close
to her total number. Time and luck factor into it, but the
internet has made amassing collections far easier than in the
old days. It doesn't take away from the impressiveness of her
collection, it's just stating the collectors typically out due
each other every couple of months, and the record will most
likely change hands numerous times over the years as opposed to
a physical feat record.” Either way, this discussion has
definitely made me focus even more on rare items, and also made
me wanting to sell off 20-30% of everything I have now that I
already got the record for largest collection.
A catalog for Zelda merchandise. “Wow, she has like
every Zelda item that was ever released..”
Uhm, no, heh..
Not even close. But at some point back in 2010, I was actually
thinking about trying to get everything that excisted. Can you
believe that? That was an actual idea and possibility in my head
back then. So what happened? Well.. Bioworld, Jakks Pacific etc.
started producing hundreds of new items, and today there’s just
so much out there that I’m having trouble just saving pictures
on my computer of it all. So that was a new idea for this site;
try to make a picture-database of EVERYTHING that exist, or as
close to it as possible. And that’s difficult enough.
