The Legend of Zelda Cufflinks Let You Save Hyrule in Style

— January 24, 2012 — Tech
No cosplay costume would be complete without a set of Legend of Zelda cufflinks. These cufflinks were created by Etsy merchant Oh My Geekness and are designed in the shape of Link's Hylian Shield.

Unlike Nintendo's other juggernaut gaming franchise (Mario), The Legend of Zelda games haven't gotten much love from the world of fashion. Link's look isn't the most fashionable ever, but with the popularity of the games being what they are, you would at least expect to see a hoodie or a hat. Crafters such as Oh My Geekness are starting to fill the Zelda fashion void, and the results are awesome to say the least. These cufflinks sell for $17 and are available now.
Trend Themes
1. Cosplay Fashion Accessories - The growing popularity of cosplay creates an opportunity for unique and stylish fashion accessories like Legend of Zelda cufflinks.
2. Niche Gaming Merchandise - The demand for specialized merchandise for popular gaming franchises presents a market for unique and collectible items like gaming-themed cufflinks.
3. Geek-inspired Jewelry - The rise of geek culture opens up the market for jewelry inspired by video games, comics, and other pop culture icons, providing opportunities to create innovative accessories like Legend of Zelda cufflinks.
Industry Implications
1. Cosplay and Costume Accessories - The cosplay industry can capitalize on the demand for unique and stylish accessories, such as crafting and selling Legend of Zelda cufflinks.
