My name is Anne Martha Harness and I have the largest collection of the Legend of Zelda memorabilia
0:27
I started collecting in 2008 when I learned how to use eBay and PayPal
0:33
I was inspired by many other collectors on the internet. And I first bought a plushie from eBay just to try
0:43
and then I wanted to collect more and more. I started playing the Legend of Sella in 1994 on the Super Nintendo
0:51
It was a link to the past and I fell in love with the game
0:56
because of the music, the characters, the story, everything. I have a lot of weird items in my collection, like an umbrella and a spacehopper and a boomerang
1:09
and there's plenty more. Not many people have actually seen my collection in life so this is a great opportunity for me to show everyone how big it is My favorite item is the Sorex guitar because it so rare and it from my favorite game Maja
1:26
The Sorex guitar is maybe the most unique item in the collection
1:31
I think there are only seven in the world. The first guitar was a prize in a contest for the Nintendo Power magazine in the US
1:40
And mine is number five and I found it on eBay. I bought it
1:44
At the big link from Germany, it was shipped in six pieces and a lot of the pieces were damaged
1:53
so I had to glue him back on when I got him. That was fun
1:57
I fixed him up as good as I could, but his neck is really glued on, so he has a scarf now
2:05
I guess I've always wanted to be in the Guinness World Record with his collection, so I'm really happy about that
2:12
The official record number is 1,816 items, but I think I'm getting closer to 2,000 items now
2:21
I don't feel like my collection will ever be complete because new things keep coming out and I keep buying them
2:28
So it will just keep growing
