The official Legend of Zelda playing cards from Nintendo are currently on sale for just $9.99, a fantastic 20% off the original price of $12.50. These cards are a Japan-only imported product, which means that when you buy through Amazon, you're likely purchasing from a reseller. This could result in a slightly longer wait time for delivery due to potential stock limitations.
These playing cards are not only a great addition to any collection but also make an excellent gift, much like the renowned Legend of Zelda manga or encyclopedias such as the Hyrule Historia. The standard 52-card deck is beautifully adorned with art from various characters, items, and locations spanning the entire history of the Legend of Zelda series, from the original NES game to Skyward Sword. Zelda graces the Queen cards, Ganondorf the Kings, and the quirky Tingle takes the role of the Jokers. These cards were specially created to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary, featuring green backs adorned with different Link designs over the years. They come in a sturdy plastic protective case, perfect for displaying on your shelf or for a spontaneous game of go-fish.
It's worth noting that Nintendo began as a manufacturer of Hanafuda playing cards back in 1889, making these Legend of Zelda cards a fitting tribute to the company's rich history.
