I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.

Commemorative playing cards aren't a particularly fresh concept, but few have pulled it off as well as this beautiful Zelda deck. Seriously, it's easy enough to stick some fanart on all the face cards and call it good, but this creation by sorenKalla is a glee-provoking blend of classic card inspiration and Zelda love.

The royals of each suit are adorned with lineart renderings of familiar Zelda characters: Nabooru, the Great Fairy, and Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule are the jack, queen, and king of Hearts, respectively. All the characters and iconography will be immediately recognizable to Zelda fans, but their familiar patterns and reversible up-down symmetry should keep the normies from catching on too quickly… at least until they realize all the Spades are actually Triforces. Then you can boot up A Link to the Past and get to work on converting them.

The "Hylian Court" deck is available with both the "Hero Green" back shown above and in "Hylian Blue."
