Zelda Scratch Card Game From 1989 Resurrected

Time Extension has republished a feature detailing how it recreated a 1989 "Nintendo Game Pack" Zelda scratch card game that had been lost to time. The piece originated from a broader attempt to document obscure and forgotten Zelda spin-off media, including Barcode Battler cards, a Milton Bradley board game, and four choose-your-own-adventure books. While researching those items, the writer came across the scratch card game and set about reconstructing it. The article is being resurfaced to mark the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2.
