Personal Life and Zelda Life

I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio but recently transplanted to New York to attend university.

The Zelda series has been in my life ever since I was six years old and I finally managed to play Ocarina of Time, which belonged to my brother.

I’m absolutely in love with the Zelda series. I started collecting two years ago when I realized I wanted to possess every game in its complete form. My collection focuses mostly on games, books, and soundtracks. After I acquired most of those, I realized I needed something to hold everything. I looked online for a “how-to” on building a miniature Zelda chest. I took the measurements and multiplied all of them and came up with a giant wooden chest to house my collection.

I've been following Zelda Dungeon for years and I always wanted to help contribute. I wanted to both showcase my collection and others to the Zelda community while also sharing my story and the stories of others in order to bring the Zelda community closer.

I started the segment “Collection Spotlight.” Collection Spotlight is a chance for Zelda fans to show their passion for our beloved man in green through the things we have collected and to talk a little bit about ourselves. Each post begins with a short introduction by me and then the rest of the post is written by the collector and then edited by me. After the introduction, authors usually introduce themselves, state their name, where they are from, how they got into Zelda, their favorite game, etc. After that, every item in each particular collection is listed out and then followed by pictures of the items.

I usually close the post with followup questions or a "Collection Selection." This sections is where I scour different sites on the internet to find a particular item that is available for purchase. I've included such items like a Link plush, Master Sword replicas, and First4Figures.

You can check out the original Collection Spotlight post, which is also my collection. You can also check out all of the Collection Spotlights to see every single collection that has been showcased on the site.
