Because you very clearly love the Legend of Zelda series and merchandise produced for it is almost always going to be tempting?

But there's not nearly enough.
I have *tons* of Mario shit but hardly any Zelda stuff in comparison

And to be fair, this thing has a nice velvety texture and some pretty decent heft despite being a pillow.

You gotta go homemade. Go raid some Zelda fan's Etsy page!

Because now if anyone tells you to get a life you can show them this as proof you already have one.

It's not a life though, it's just extra health.

Now, a 1-Up Mushroom plushie, on the other hand...

I thought they were called life hearts in Zelda games?

I could be mistaken.

I think they're called Heart Containers? Maybe it depends on the game though.

Either way, a name isn't always indicative of its true nature.

I got a plastic Hylian Shield (you can see it on the wall) and Master Sword last Halloween... also from Target.

Someday I'd like to get *actual* replicas that are made of wood & metal.

Edit: Here's a better shot of it

EDIT: LMAO TC literally called them Heart Containers in the first post. I swear I didn't see that when I made my post lol

https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Life_Gauge

Also notice how it says life above the hearts in the original

The Life Gauge is what shows how many hearts you have

The actual ITEM that gives you additional hearts (which is what the plushie in OP depicts) is called a Heart Container.

At least, that's my understanding.

The shield actually looks better than mine, its big and heavy but clearly hand painted so looks a bit off.

The sword is legit though. Ill post a pic later if I remember

I just look at it as hearts equal life on the life gauge. I do apologize I didnt mean for my joke to become such an in-depth discussion on Zelda mechanics.

nah m8 no worries I just have a bad habit of ruining other's jokes with "Well, ACKTHUALLY..." Sorry about that.

Also with all that said, as I mentioned earlier, I am not actually a Zelda fan so who knows if any of what I said is even accurate lmao

Please do

Now I do have the Master Sword/Hylian Shield replicas that were some sort of bonus for Twilight Princess. They're badass but are letter-opener sized

Next on my list is Frostmourne from Warcraft 3 but its like $250. Looks so fucking cool though

Yeah, shit is crazy expensive these days.

But it's also pretty big. The smaller plushies usually run in 10-15 dollar range
