Classic Video Game Soaps

Legend of Zelda Soaps Keep Lazy Gamers Clean

— August 14, 2012 — Lifestyle
These Legend of Zelda soaps are recreations of some of the iconic symbols of the classic video game series. The highly valuable heart piece, the monetarily valuable rupees and the deadly powerful tri-force are all available in soap form. A creation by the Etsy seller SmallThingsForSale, these gamer soaps are great gifts for the die-hard fan.

Even for those who are not such huge fans of the Legend of Zelda series, these soaps are pretty cool. The rupees and heart pieces could easily integrate into a more "girly" decor.
