It only says "Trading Cards". Not "Trading Card Game". That might just be iffy reporting, though?

Really? Twilight Princess HD, Hyrule Warrior Legends and Picross Zelda must be Mario games then.

 

[mrmickfran]

Can't wait for the limited edition Cdi trading cards

 

[dity]

Where's the big "NOT AMIIBO" sticker that's on every Nintendo thing these days?

I am going to go to a biker bar with my Zelda temporary tattoo. Wish me luck.

I don't think it's a trading card game, though.

A remake, a port, and a puzzle based spinoff...

Better than cards which you can't play.

Oh yes, stick-on tattoos!

Those are listed in the order of release with Skyward Sword being the oldest and TPHD being the newest. I think the description may have been written before Zelda U was delayed and no one thought to correct it.

Played the original twice, hyrule warriors doesn't interest me and neither do puzzle games.

Do what now? The Pokemon TCG is one of the most successful card games ever. Though I think they are pretty hands off with it at this point. Plus this is not some CCG, but simply trading cards ala baseball cards. They also had Twilight Princess trading cards years ago.

That took 3 minutes. I'll give that 7 out of 10 for failing to mention what Nintendo were in the early 1900s.

 

[Amalthea]

I hope there will be some more Zelda 1 pandering as the year goes on. After all it's the 30th anniversary. The Vans slippers might be a nice start.

 

[terrible]

I'd probably buy some.

:/

Fun thing is that this doesn't appear to be playable cards, just collectibles...

 

[Jonneh3003]

Just saw this trending on Facebook, had no idea this was a thing! RIP wallet.

 

[CarlieCaplin]

Oh cool...we are getting amiibo, trading cards and more shit.

Meanwhile, there is only 1 Wii U game scheduled for the 2nd half of 2016.

 

[Card Boy]

Not trading cards as like Pokemon or Magic. More like the footy card kind, just pictures on a card. Also it is a rip at $6 for 6 cards. $1 a card? ef off. You get like 15 Magic cards for that much and you can actually play with them.
