It's a collection, not an obsession, I swear. Ever since my sister first let me play her Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening game for the very first time, I've had a love for the series. Though while growing up it was overshadowed by my love for the Pokémon series, as I grew older my love for Pokémon still remained, but LoZ started taking a stronger hold in my heart.
I gant remember exactly which game was the first to start my collection, but I believe it was either The Minish Cap or Wind Waker. Either way, after that I obtained the collector's edition, which had remakes of the NES and SNES versions of the really old Zelda games: Legend of Zelda, Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure's of Link, Ocarina of Time (which to this day remains to be my most loved of the series with Link's Awakening being a close second) and Majora's Mask. Then Phantom Hourglass came out and I had to get that one too. Spirit Tracks came out a while later but I ignored that one at the time because I wasn't such a huge fan at the time.
As new games came out I ended up getting them. My collection started to grow to outside games and game guides when Skyward Sword came out, as it came with a special LoZ wii remote. It was then that my desire to collect grew rapidly, for after Skyward Sword they announced the release of the special LoZ 3ds with Ocarina of Time game- which I wanted so badly.
As time continued I ended up collecting all of the games ever released, the Hyrule Hystoria, the LoZ 3ds, the LoZ WiiU, the Master Sword (steel and real), the Hyrulean Shield, two keychains, the collectors edition game guide treasure box with bookmark and authenticity certificate, and a hoodie. I aspire to get the Dark Link set and a few fabric posters, along with any other decent merchandise that comes out.
So... This weekend my... ahem... Collection, grew. I was at GameStop, getting ready to check-out when I see little Minish Cap cellphone figures... And so I spent a good five minutes doing my hardest to look through the packages to find the figurines I wanted.... Not obsessed.
