That sounds like the eBay price after it's gone out of print.

That looks like something you'd get from club Nintendo. I'll pass.

Oh man haha, server jam? Really? I understand the excitement, but February 20th gives one plenty of wiggle room.

Charging this kind of money they're smart to announce this after Christmas cash and gift cards have been given.

That price is an absolute joke! For the rich or foolish only.

If it was reasonably priced they'd never come close to meeting demand =p

Wow $70 for a shirt? Is it made with gold?

@skeldare

The triforce design is made with a thin layer scrapped off of the actual Triforce.

Why is it that whenever someone makes a special shirt but never considers bigger sizes for us fat people?

I was about to be sad that they didn't appear to have a female-style shirt as well, but then I saw it was $70.

They sell that one too for a measly 63 dollars!

I like a lot of their shirts but I really can't justify paying more than ~$25 for one.

You can't just slap the words "limited edition" on something and charge an obscene amount of money for it… or can you?

Does anyone want to buy some "limited edition" packing tape? It's more adhesive than regular packing tape, and your friends will think you're super-cool for owning it.

For $70 I'd be scared to wear the damn thing. I'd no doubt stain it after 5 minutes.

No way, not for $70. Plenty of non official t-shits that looks just as good for a fraction of that cost. For $70 it better e a damn Link Tunic hoody or something.

Way too much for a t-shirt, no matter what is on it. For that much money, you'd think part of the proceeds were going to some charity.

This is a really good example of how crazily overpriced everything is in Japan right now. It's been bad for a long time, but it really is at a peak now. I mean, their new games are commonly in the $80-$120 range. This is another example. The gang on the 8-4 podcast try to tell people about how insane the market is.

The shirt looks pretty phenomenal but $70 is way too expensive. I already have my fair share of Zelda shirts and I don't think I've paid more than $25 for any of them

It surprises me when people freak out about $70 for a shirt but most are willing to pay over $200 for a pair of freaking shoes. SHOES!

Clothing shouldn't cost you a second mortgage, no matter what's on it or whose name is selling it. That is a pretty nice shirt, though. It would look nicer with a $40 price drop.

At first I thought $70 was outrageous, but then I considered that these shirts are probably made by well-paid Japanese workers instead of 3rd-world sweatshops. Slave labor is the reason for our $10 and $20 shirts, people.
