The Legend of Zelda parkas from King of Games, featuring a funnel-neck design with a printed hood lining, two-way zippers, and small, subtle sprite touches scattered around (click for larger images).

The cross-stitched Link peeking out of the left pocket is a particularly nice detail, as if the heart container on the back. King of Games will begin selling these in Bordeaux Red and Navy Blue for ¥14490 ($188, cot damn) starting next week. You can pay crazy bucks for one here.

Perfect pouch for your Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary 3DS (click for larger images). Tepe hand-cut, hand-tooled, dyed, and painted this leather bag, which you can attach a wrist- or shoulder-strap to if you’re so inclined.

It’s an awesome accessory for Zelda fans looking to encase their 3DSes in Hylian gear, but it’s also quite expensive — commissioning Tepe to create one of these for you will set you back around $40.

Zelda Figure Collection toys. Yes, more Nintendo figure news! This set includes versions of Link and Zelda from Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, and Phantom Hourglass.— which reminds me that I have no toys depicting Wind Waker-style Link, the only Zelda toy I’d ever need.

NCSX just opened pre-orders for complete sets, at $28.90. They’ll ship in April.

A more detailed timeline for The Legend of Zelda, translated by GlitterBerri from Hyrule Historia — the new Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary art book, which series director Eiji Aonuma served as supervising editor on.

Here’s a video of a French dude flipping through Hyrule Historia. I wish this was still in stock at Play Asia…

First look at an updated Virtual Console/NES game for 3DS. Nintendo is rolling out updates for the NES titles released via the 3DS Ambassador Program, starting with the original Legend of Zelda in Japan (the game also appeared as the first NES VC title in Japan’s eShop).

You’ll see here that instead of the bland, boxy icon in the menu, you get a scene of the game’s original system and a TV showing its title screen. There’s also a digital manual attached now, as well as the ability to create and load restore points (by hitting X+Y in the game), as you can in other portable Virtual Console titles.

In the U.S. eShop today, we get Mighty Switch Force, Tetris (Game Boy), Doodle Fit, Rytmik Retrobits, and Chronicles of Vampires: Origins. Um, where’s SwapNote?

[Update: SwapNote is on the eShop right now for free!]

The Legend of Zelda series’ timeline revealed in Hyrule Historia (25th anniversary art book), according to reports posted online and mapped here by Kotaku.

Apparently the story splits into three branches:

“Note that the ‘split’ is due to Ocarina’s time differences and assumptions based on the different ways that story could have ended and branched off from his two ages.

The Link to the Past split is Link failing, the Majora’s split is Link defeating Ganon and branching off from his boyhood, and the Wind Waker split is Link defeating Ganon and branching from his older years.”

I don’t even follow the Zelda timeline conspiracy theories, but I’m sure plenty of minds are being blown today.

The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary t-shirt by The King of Games, printed on either forest green or black, using “pearl/metallic grey” ink for the shield design and gold for the Triforce.

According to the t-shirt company, this design will only be printed once, and will only be available for pre-order from December 24 through February 20, worldwide. There’s no price yet, but it’ll likely be around ¥5,000 ($64).

The KOG site also offers this cool factoid about the Famicom-style shipping boxes they use: “KOG customers know that every shirt or parka comes packaged in a cool box, but did you know that the boxes are printed at the actual factory used to print Famicom boxes in the 80’s and 90’s?”

Penny Arcade’s completed, five-page comic for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (click for larger images).

As much as I love whenever Penny Arcade collaborates with a publisher to create promotional comics like this one, they’re usually posted a page at a time, and I always forget to check back to see the entire thing. I’m just doing my duty to make sure that doesn’t happen to you!

By the way, I finally dove back into Skyward Sword last night — taking a break from letting people murder me online in Mario Kart 7 — and completed the fifth dungeon. Holy crap, that dungeon’s boss was amazing!

Also Zelda related!: the series’ creator Shigeru Miyamoto recently talked about collaborations with Retro Studios (Metroid Prime) similar to Mario Kart 7, and he mentioned that a possible Legend of Zelda project with the Western developer is worth considering. Huh!
