A Roundup of the Coolest Fan-Made Craft Projects From Around the Net

Probably the greatest thing about the Zelda fan community is how creative its members can be. There is never a lack of awe-inspiring artwork and craft projects that people have put together to show their love for their favorite video game franchise. Just browse through deviantArt or Etsy and you’ll find hordes of amazing works made by dedicated fans. I have taken the time to scour the web and find the most “hell yeah!”-inspiring projects that are out there at the moment. If I missed anything awesome, let us know in the comment section. Let’s shine some light on all the serious talent that is out there!

First is this amazing Zippo lighter that was posted to Etsy. It is engraved with the classic Zelda logo from the NES original, as well as the Hylian Shield design from Ocarina of Time Twilight Princess. I think it is a very sleek, solid design that I would love to add to my lighter collection. If you buy it you can also request a personalized engraving on the backside. You can pick it up for just $29.95 right here.

Also from Etsy.com is this “song ring“. You can get one custom made with any song from either Ocarina of Time or Majora’s Mask, and you also have your choice between stainless steel, gold-plated, or bronze-plated rings. They all look awesome if you ask me. These are highly detailed, artfully-crafted items, so the $59.99 price tag is well worth it. Check them out here.

Triforce T-shirts are a dime a dozen, so what makes this one special? The price! It is only $6.00, and it is a solid shirt for the price. Simple, effective, and just plain cool. 6dollarshirts.com is one of my favorite places to buy new shirts. Pick up your Triforce shirt here.

Tired of forgetting where you put your keys? Well those days are over, and the old man in the cave from the original Zelda will make sure of that. This insanely fun and creative key holder features a hand-painted recreation of the original Legend of Zelda graphics, featuring the legendary scene from the beginning of the game where you get your sword from the old man, complete with the classic quote, “It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!” And at the bottom are two hooks where you can hang your keys for safe-keeping. You can pick it up on Etsy.com for just $16.00. Gotta love it.

Last but definitely not least is this set of die-cast metal necklace pendants in the shape of various swords and shields from the Zelda series. Featuring 11 pendants total, the set includes such staples as Ocarina of Time‘s version of The Master Sword, The Hylian Shield, and The Mirror Shield. This is a very snazzy set that would be perfect for any Zelda fan (or their loved ones. Christmas gifts, anyone?). Even if you don’t use them as necklaces, they are still awesome. You could just put them up on display as a part of your collection or even just play with them for fun. You can find them here on ebay for as low as $17.
