Here’s everything in the box, with the Switch console and Lego Darth Vader for scale. As limited edition game tat goes, this is one of the best statues I’ve got my hands on. The textures look great: the sword is clearly supposed to be a bit beaten up, but the non-rusty parts have a nice shine to them. They’ve done a great job with the statue. The flower is definitely plastic, but it looks realistic enough. The sword flexes a little and is slightly cool to the touch, so I figure metallic paint over plastic. The weight and solidity of the base leads me to think it’s metal. I can’t work out exactly what the materials are. It’s 26cm tall and weighs 642g – a good paperweight. There’s no ominous glow so I opened the box with my Philips Hue lights set to yellow. Inside is a lot of polystyrene and…*da-da-da-DAAAAA*… the Master Sword. There’s something I really like about seeing it in Japanese too. Get past the game box and you’ll find… another box.
I had to chew gum for an hour to get rid of it. I can confirm the cartridge tastes horrible. Nothing fancy about it, it’s just a game case with the game cartridge inside. Underneath the soundtrack is the box you get with the standard edition of Zelda: BotW. A part of me wishes there were chip tunes on here, but trust me, this thing will make your morning commute sufficiently epic. A quick listen confirms it is a good recording, properly arranged. The inside is better, though, and you get 24 tracks, which is good. Black background with gold font – I was hoping for more interesting art work. Figurine? It’s a sword, not a person, so I’m going to call it a statue. A shot on the side of the box confirms what you get with the Limited Edition: the game, the soundtrack, and a ‘Master Sword of Resurrection Figurine’. At 33x20x17.5cm, it’s bigger than the box the Nintendo Switch console comes in. Well it’s just arrived, so let’s dig in – with pictures. I didn’t even know what the package contained, I just knew I wanted it. So hyped that I put money down for the super fancy ‘Limited Edition’ as soon as pre-orders opened. I’ve been super hyped about Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s Nintendo Switch Day! But more importantly for me, it’s also Zelda Day.
