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.

As a kid, I used to collect rocks, feathers, napkins, stamps, marbles, Kinder Surprise figures.. you name it.

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: Custom made or unofficial items, common items and clothing by Bioworld, Jakks Pacific, Difuzed, Pyramid etc. But obviously I make exceptions if I really like the item.

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

• Visit the Nintendo Museum in Japan

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.

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

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

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 tiny 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:

This was posted at blogspot, and these were my "Top 10 Items" that I had on my blog. ..cute.
