If their pillows aren't covered in triforce patterns, then there's a chance that they aren't too big on [Link](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-concept-1), Princess Zelda and the mythical land of Hyrule. The Zelda Pillowcase was created by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow) merchant JamesBit, whose store is filled with everything from Pitfall mugs to [Super Mario Bros.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-australia-1) flags. The Zelda Pillowcase is one of his more subtle creations; to the uniformed it looks like a pillow cover with a neat pattern. However, those that know the series know that the triangle represents power, wisdom and courage. The covers measures 16" x 16" (pillow not included) and sells for $29.00. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nostalgic Gaming Merchandise:** Opportunity for creating and selling merchandise that taps into nostalgic feelings associated with popular video game franchises. - **Personalized Home Decor:** Opportunity to create customized home decor items that reflect one's unique interests and hobbies. - **Geek Culture Collectibles:** Opportunity for creating collectible items that cater to niche geek culture interests, such as video games, comics, or movies. ### Where This Applies - **E-commerce:** Opportunity for online retailers to offer a wide range of gaming merchandise and personalized home decor products. - **Home Furnishings:** Opportunity for home furnishing companies to adapt and offer customizable decor items for consumers looking to express their individuality. - **Gaming Accessories:** Opportunity for gaming accessory manufacturers to collaborate with popular gaming franchises to produce branded merchandise for fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contoured Gamer Support Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neochi-pillow-for-gaming.md) - [Gamer-Targeted Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-pillow.md) - [Life-Sized Meat Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-pillow.md) - [Handcrafted Rustic Pillow Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-cover.md) - [Pillow-Like Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade1up-pacman-couchcade.md) - [Vibrant Designer Decor Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-decor-pillow.md) - [Collectible Plush Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squishpillow-by-original-squishmallows.md) - [Stylish Tissue Box Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-cover.md) - [Puzzle Video Game Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sara-hyat-tetris-sofa.md)
