There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So with the Switch and Breath of the Wild having grabbed a lot of attention around our house, I picked up this Legend of Zelda chess set to start getting my kids used to more strategic thinking, using something they could identify with.
I'll admit that I was a little leery of buying after reading the only reviews available at the time, but I'm glad I did. This is a great chess set, and I totally disagree with what those reviewers had to say. Since people deserve to know the detailed breakdown, I'll go over it quickly:
The board is the kind of material you would expect from a board game. It's not on the level of bargain bin stuff at the big retailers. It's totally normal, thick, board game stock. And it looks very nice! People wanting a wooden board at this price point don't understand what wood costs. I bought myself a solid wood Tak (another abstract strategy game) board for $65 last year—the board has a smaller grid than a chess board, so it's less wood...so, solid wood is out. As for the kind of thin wood you can find in less expensive chess sets—it's so thin that you worry about damaging it! At this price point, a typical board or a really thin wood board is about all you can expect, and this board is more portable than a wooden one. (More on that in a bit.)
The pieces are awesome. Yes, they are vinyl. That's the stuff collectors get for the most part. The only metal collectors pieces out there are the high end ones, and this is not a high end pricepoint. Wood doesn't hold the detail or have the durability of vinyl, so the fact that these are NOT wood is a plus. Yes, metal would have been better, but metal with this much detail and in this size is expensive. (And quite heavy.)
The box that everything comes in is surprisingly nice. It's even got plastic standoffs on the corners to keep it from being damaged. If you've ever purchased anything online ever, you know how easily THAT happens! It isn't a small box, but it makes for a good, sturdy storage container for the set, and displays it really nicely. Biggest unexpected trait of the set for sure, but one which helps if you want to have the set nearby and not just lying around. (Again, I have kids...I don't leave my stuff out.)
This is not my "nicest" chess set, but it's a fraction of the price of what I paid for it, and my kids absolutely love the fact that Link and Zelda are in the game. Now that they're in bed, the wife and I are going to play. Guess who "gets" to be Ganondorf?
Fans will appreciate the pieces being taken from Classic Zelda (OOT, if memory serves) such as Ganondorf, TwinRova, Zelda, Link, Palace soldiers as pawns, and they are not your typical chess pieces. There was a nice collector's book included. The pieces are heavier than a typical chess board pieces and they are extremely sturdy for plastic, not pewter or metal (if memory serves).
The only drawback in my opinion is Although the pieces are labeled (as a just in case), they are a bit hard to see the engraving on the black side. They are easier to read on the white side, but not by much.
Additionally, they came very well packaged with all the pieces set in custom-cut foam slots. The board is standard cardboard, nothing special.
