This mini-pamphlet came with my copy of
The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time back in 1998. I was pleasantly surprised when it turned up recently while going through some old papers. I love the action figures; they’d be worth having now. But what I want to know is, does anyone own the official Zelda pocket watch?

Oh man I used to have the action figure (Link only). They were rubbery and didnt move much. In fact that picture is alittle misleading becuase mine never really stood up. The rubber would warp a little bit, especially the sword since it was thin. Yeah I know, link had a bent sword, ha ha.

In my defense, I actually bought it from Nintendo a while later, and it was $5. I couldn’t pass it up. (From one of those little pamphlets Nintendo used to put in their Nintendo Power magazines.)

I’ve seen the figurines and players guide before(there is also an Impa one right?). But not the rest of the gear. The pocket watch looks great, also wouldn’t mind the hoodie.

I do not have the pocketwatch. I do, however, have the action figure set (it was three of them, came with Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf). I also have the T-shirt in the picture. Nintendo also released a wristwatch at the same time that I have…it’s way cool, has the triforce points for the 12, 4, 8 and has 2, 6, 10 printed on it. I have the watch on in my senior pictures (I still believe to this day that that picture is one of the reasons my husband and I got together, hehe).
Later, many other action figures were released that were both Nintendo released and third-party released, as well as many other t-shirts.

I own the Legend of Zelda Pocket Watch from this catalog. If anyone is interested in purchasing it, please email me for pictures. It’s in mint condition with zero scratches on the glass.
Thanks

I actually have the Zelda pocketwatch! Nintendo Power had a catalog that had this stuff, and that is where I got it.
They had a lot of really cool Zelda stuff, like even a special gold Zelda Game Boy Camera that had extra content on it. They also had a nice bracelet that had the triforce on it.
Unfortunately, my parents were poor, and I could only convince them to get me the pocketwatch and the triforce wristwatch (not pictured in your picture). I still have them, and I keep them with me all the time =]

Actually the 3 pack of figures was what I got for preordering Zelda: Ocarina of Time from Target. The figures there are different and larger. 3 Pack Link is only 4in tall while the Action figure Link is 5.5in tall.
I Have the 3 Pack of Link Zelda and Gannondorf, Also have the OoT Soundtrack, Link and Gannondorf action figures, and the Hat there.

hi. My son has the Legends of Zelda pocket watch with Link on it. It is in near new condition and we would be interested in selling it. He can use the money. If interested in purchasing it, please e-mail me at catedtuskey1@gmail.com and make a reasonable offer. It is a nice looking piece. Thanks.

I remember this catalog! I didn’t buy the pocket watch. But from this I had bought the soundtrack, the guide, the t-shirt, and the hoodie. I still have the hoodie, and it is my post prized possession. I wear it all the time, it is stained, torn, and tatered. I will never get rid of this one, but I am interested in getting another. If anyone has one and wants to sell it, or knows where I can find one, please let me know. It has to exactly like the hoodie in the catalog.
many thanks.
