Just saying “The Legend of Zelda” out loud makes me want to grab a sword, hold it awkwardly above my head, and start questing for heart containers.

Whether you were part of the 80s crew who experienced it as cutting-edge tech, or you discovered it later on, the call of Hyrule is irresistible. And honestly, who hasn’t wanted to rescue Princess Zelda at least once?

I remember being a kid when Zelda hit the scene – though full disclosure, I wasn’t exactly battling Ganon back then. It was like peering into another world, pixelated and mysterious, where every bush could hide rupees or, even better, a secret passage.

Let’s just say that my early attempts to play weren’t heroic. My strategy? Wander around, get lost, repeat. Thank goodness for game guides and more patient relatives!

But something about that game, with its haunting melodies and endless secrets, hooks you deep. It’s no wonder that “The Legend of Zelda” isn’t just a game, it’s a landmark in many of our childhoods.

Legend of Zelda Perler Beads

-A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you’ll either need a extra large pegboard (49 x 69 tall) or to put multiple square peg boards together to form a larger “canvas.”

-You’ll see a couple of the pattern backgrounds below aren’t white – that’s simply to give contrast so you can see where all the white beads should go. You don’t need to add the background (but you can if you want to).
