Collection Spotlight: The Modern Collector

Greetings fellow Zelda fans! My name is Ty and I am just now 18. I am quite the committed collector, and my collection is getting quite large. My love for Zelda started back in 6th grade with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It was the first Zelda game I had ever played and I instantly fell in love. However, I soon found eBay and got myself the Ocarina of Time Master Quest and that would be the first game I beat.

I really just liked the games at first and would play them when I had the chance. But I had the opportunity to play Majora’s Mask in 8th grade and that instantly became my favorite game of all time, and still is to this day. After I beat Majora’s Mask I just started buying and collecting everything and anything Zelda and I have been collecting for 6 years now.
But since I own every Zelda game and almost every version of every Zelda game (and yes, I have beat them all), it is harder and harder to add to my collection.

So here is my collection minus posters, they are too hard to unroll.

Now that it’s back, I need collections to show off for future posts. I need your help. Would you like to see your collection spotlighted on the website? Do you want to share how you got into Zelda and show off the items you are proud of owning? Lets create an even closer Zelda community by swapping stories about the series we love.

Send me an email at tyler@zeldadungeon.net. Each submission should include a background of who you are, how you got into Zelda, your first Zelda game, a listing of the items you have now, what you hope to own in the future, your favorite item, some pictures showing off your collection, and anything else you would like to include. The post will be about you and your collection. Feel free to make the post belong to you.

Please do not be frightened or discouraged when you see these showcases. I’m receiving emails from collectors who are hesitant to have their collections featured even though they are quite good. We welcome small to large collections, and starter to experienced collections.

Also feel free to comment on whatever you like. What was your favorite item in this spotlight? What else can I do to make these posts special, fun, and engaging? Post your comments below and I will attempt to respond to everything!
