Check Out This 3D Shadow Box That Changes From Zelda to Sheik
Posted on February 18 2023 by Leslie Jacobson
Like a lot of folks that are into the Legend of Zelda series, I like to collect what I can. And when I saw this 3D lenticular shadow box by Pyramid America in a local game store a few years ago, I knew I couldn’t leave the store without it.
Pictures alone don’t do this unique shadow box justice. Depending on the angle you view this piece, it shows either a wonderful portrait of the official art of Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time with the Royal Crest and Hyrule Castle in the background, or it shows her alter-ego Sheik with the Sheikah Eye design replacing the Royal Crest. Whoever designed the shadow box did a great job of lining up the facial features to make a smooth transition from one to the other. The 3D effect is also well done and gives a wonderful sense of depth to the picture. It’s also fun to watch as the pictures blend together, as parts of Zelda’s face morph and merge into Sheik’s and then back again.
This 3D lenticular shadow box is officially licensed. It also includes a solid black frame with a ready-to-hang wall mount.
This nifty art will set you back $19.99 USD, but it’s worth every penny. You can find it for sale on Amazon right here.
It seems that Link gets all the love for official merchandise, so having something with Zelda herself makes it that much more appealing. What do you think? Do you want to add this to your collection? Do you have any of the other lenticular shadow boxes released by Pyramid America? Should Princess Zelda get more official merch? Let us know in the comments.
