The Legend of Zelda Trading Cards (Enterplay, 2016)

The Legend of Zelda Trading Cards (Enterplay, 2016) — from The Enterplay Years in the Zelda Cards Gallery.

Five games in one checklist — Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and A Link Between Worlds, about eighteen slots per game including each game’s key-art card. The gold structure is the set’s signature: G1–G4 came in packs, G5–G8 were box toppers in hobby displays, and G9 Midna was never in a pack at all — she was exclusive to the Collector’s Fun Box. The art is game screenshots and renders throughout, the inverse of the painted Japanese sets of 1998–99.

No.14 (Ocarina key art) and No.32 (Majora’s Mask key art) are silver-foil cards whose foil photographs almost flat — every copy is foil, including copies whose listing photos look flat. Identity rests on card number, art and label, never on a photograph’s shine.

This is the only Zelda set where a checklist card (G9) was never sold in a pack — the Fun Box is a required "pack" for completion.

The back of card #19 — the number sits in a gold shield at upper right — opens "After saving Hyrule, Link departs on his trusty steed Epona, in search of a lost friend...", with a portrait inset matching the front art.
