If you're a fan of *The Legend of Zelda*, you'll be thrilled to know that the official playing cards from Nintendo are currently on sale for just $9.99, which is a 20% discount off the original $12.50 price. These cards are a Japan-only import, so when you buy through Amazon, you're likely purchasing from a third-party reseller. This could mean a slightly longer wait time due to potential stock limitations, but the wait is definitely worth it.
These cards make an excellent addition to any collection or a fantastic gift, much like the beloved *Legend of Zelda* manga or the comprehensive encyclopedias such as the *Hyrule Historia*. The standard 52-card deck showcases a delightful variety of art, featuring characters, items, and locations from across the entire *Legend of Zelda* series, spanning from the original NES game to *Skyward Sword*. You'll find Zelda gracing the Queen cards, Ganondorf on the Kings, and even the quirky Tingle on the Jokers. Released to commemorate the franchise's 25th anniversary, these cards have green backs adorned with different Link designs over the years. They come in a sturdy, thick plastic case, perfect for showcasing on your shelf or for a spontaneous game of go-fish.
It's a fitting tribute to Nintendo's history, considering they began by manufacturing Hanafuda playing cards back in 1889. So, these *Legend of Zelda* cards not only celebrate the iconic series but also pay homage to Nintendo's roots.
