Novelty retailer ThinkGeek has expanded its selection of gamer goods with the addition of a Zelda watch, which features the Hyrule crest on the face in gold, a brushed bronze base that has a utilitarian aesthetic, and is finished off with a durable leather strap that enables users to proudly sport it for years to come. A few hints of bronze are included on the strap of the watch as well, helping to create a more cohesive look.
The Zelda watch is an exclusive ThinkGeek release and is an officially licensed product, making it a great gift for gamers who consider themselves to be collectors. Although the watch looks much like the one within the game that's able to transport players to different destinations, ThinkGeek specifies that it only has the ability to tell time and give wearers the look of a true adventurer.
