About my collection

 

Start date: August 2008

 

First item bought: Phantom Hourglass Link plushie

 

Why I started: It was just for fun, but I've always been a collector at heart

 

What I collect: Except for common Zelda items that I like (statues, plushies, posters etc.), I always prefer spending my money on rare, vintage, promotional or limited items. And I looove prototypes!

 

What I don't collect (usually): Custom made or unofficial items, common items and clothing by Bioworld, Jakks Pacific, Difuzed, Pyramid etc.

 

 

 

Current goals (and dreams..)

  • Meet any of the Zelda developers

  • Meet Akira Himekawa

  • 100% Completion of all main Zelda games

  • Create the most extensive database of Zelda merchandise that's out there

  • Have a really nice setup of my collection in a big room

  • See the Nintendo Headquarters in Japan

The Collection throughout the years

This is the last picture I took of my collection as a whole. I displayed everything in our loft livingroom for the Guinness World Record's visit and photoshoot session.

 

 

Zelda Collection 2016

 

The Zoraxe needed it's own cabinet!

 

 

Zelda Collection 2015

 

The Zelda room with glass cabinets from Ikea.

 

 

Zelda Collection 2014

 

I turned my childhood room into a Zelda room. Having everything displayed in my apartment was at that point impossible.

 

 

Zelda Collection 2011

 

The collection grew very fast in a very short amount of time.

 

 

Zelda Collection 2010

 

My two Zelda shelves in my apartment. This is the first "official" picture I posted of my collection.

 

 

Zelda Collection 2009

 

From the beginning of my collecting. I had just gotten a damaged Link statue and took a picture of it. In the background though, you can see my small Zelda collection sitting in a shelf.

 

 

 

History of my collection sites

 

2014 - The Zelda Collection Sites:

 

A bit similar to this site, but it was divided differently (IRL vs IG) and without the games having their own sites.

 

 

2009 - Zelda Collection Blog:

 

Background and banners. I was using blogspot.com at the time.

 

These were my "Top 10 Items" that I had on my blog. ..cute.
