The official Legend of Zelda playing cards from Nintendo are currently on sale for just $9.99 (20% off). Keep in mind, they are a Japan-only imported product, so buying through Amazon typically means you’re purchasing from a reseller. This could mean you may have to wait a bit longer than usual for them to arrive due to the potential of limited stock.
In any case, these make for a great gift or addition to your collection, like the awesome Legend of Zelda manga or encyclopedias like the Hyrule Historia.

The standard 52-card deck features various art of characters, items, and locations from throughout the entire Legend of Zelda games’ history, from the NES original up to Skyward Sword. Naturally, Zelda is printed on Queen cards, Ganondorf on Kings, and so on. Personally, I’m a big fan of the Tingle Jokers. These were made to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary and feature green backs with the different Link designs over the years. The deck comes in a thick plastic protective case, perfect for displaying on your shelf and easy to access for a quick game of go-fish.
Nintendo got their start manufacturing Hanafuda playing cards in 1889, so these cards are a fitting way to celebrate the company’s long history as well.

The Legend of Zelda cards aren’t the only available theme, either. You can pick up up official Super Mario Flower cards, both modern and retro Super Mario standard playing cards, and even Splatoon-themed playing cards all for less than $20 or less. Keep in mind the import caveat with these, as well! Owning a pair of official Nintendo Hanafuda cards is a rite of passage for any serious Nintendo collector, and luckily you can do so without breaking the bank.
