Hasta La Gadget!

You can buy an unofficial life-sized replica of the treasure chests from The Legend of Zelda. It turns out there’s also an official replica of said treasure chest, except it fits in the palm of your hand. The musical treasure chest will be included in the collector’s edition of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

The treasure chest can store up to five 3DS cartridges.

It emits the classic melodic fanfare when you open it, as demonstrated by The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo President Satoru Iwata in the Vine video below (be sure to turn on the sound)…

I’m not sure if the collector’s edition will be released globally, but it’s available for pre-order in the UK via Game, in Spain via Game as well and in Australia via EBGames. Aside from the chest, the limited edition bundle will also come with a poster and a Nintendo eShop download code for the Game Boy classic The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

Nintendo Wii U owners now have the opportunity to pick up the digital and retail version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, allowing gamers both new and old to enjoy one of NIntendo’s finest Zelda games ever created.  We learned a few weeks ago The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD wasn’t the only game Nintendo considered for an HD remake, although considering Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma has admitted the game took a total of six months to develop, we think more HD remakes would be pretty easy to carry out in the future.

When artist Olly Moss first posted images of his video game-themed dinnerware, the Internet exploded with so much want. If you’re one of those people who coveted his geeky take on the Willow pattern, you’re in luck. The plates are on sale, but only for a very short time.

In case this is the first time you’ve heard of these plates, they look like something your grandparents would use from afar. But if you look closer you’ll see that the plates feature scenes from either Pokémon or The Legend of Zelda.

You can order the 8-bit Willow Plates from Olly Moss’ online shop for $60 (USD) each or $200 for four plates. But they’ll only be on sale until tomorrow (10/7/13 at 12pm GMT) so act quickly.
