BreaKBeatZ | 136 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hey folks, I've had this jacket since the early 2000s. It was given to me by a friend as a birthday present. Does anyone know anything about this? I think it might be a promotional item for Wind Waker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Track jackets were pretty hip at the time, that's definitely the branding for nes Zelda, not windwaker. I'ma guess it was a licensed thing sold at like hot topic or maybe official Nintendo store or something. Are there any other labels inside?

Alder | 243 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I immediately thought of Hot Topic as well. The jacket is not at all familiar but I remember they had things with the original LOZ logo like that. I had a T-shirt and a green wristband that I got from there around 2004.

arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The sword on the back is very definitely the original Legend of Zelda logo and would have nothing to do with Wind Waker. NES Classic Series for that game is 2004, right? Could have been E3 promo-related from the year before. (or just licensed merch contemporary to that re-release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreaKBeatZ | 136 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks everyone, the only other tag on this has washing instructions. I've had it since it was new, it was given to me by a friend as a birthday present. Someone on a Facebook group had the same jacket and said it was something promotional for the GameCube and seemed to think it was rare, but he was probably just wrong. It's still nice to wear even if it doesn't have any history though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might explain why it has the logo from the Zelda 1 title screen. It was released in the US on November 17, 2003 as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterofzelda | 72 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I bought this jacket from JCpenny it was 29.99 love this jacket almost as much as my olde school jacket bought at JCpenny as well for the same price it is just a throwback to the nes version. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Soldier | 24 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I'd rock that with some acid wash jeans and Jordache shoes. Truly is a nice jacket that your friend gifted you for your birthday. Edited November 9, 2019 by Ghost Soldier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
