Zelda at 300: CD-i’s ‘Unholy Trinity’ & Arzette Collector’s Edition

We’ve hit a HUGE milestone in our Legend of Zelda collection journey—300 items out of 1,000! 🗡️✨ To celebrate, we’re diving into one of the most infamous chapters of Zelda history: the Philips CD-i and its “unholy trinity” of games—Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, and Zelda’s Adventure.

But that’s not all! We’re also unboxing the Big Box Collector’s Edition of Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore from Limited Run Games. If you’ve ever wished the CD-i games had a spiritual successor done right, Arzette is exactly that—charming, quirky, and lovingly crafted for fans.

Join us as we look back at Zelda’s strangest detour, add some rare pieces to the collection, and keep the count rolling toward our goal of 1,000 Zelda items!

⚔️ What’s your take on the CD-i Zelda games? So bad they’re good, or just plain bad? Let us know in the comments!
