Like most geeks, I do enjoy a good game of chess on occasion. Sadly, I don’t have a really geeky chess set to play it on. I have come really close over the years to buying some really cool Star Trek and Star Wars chess sets but I just can’t justify spending like $1000 on a chessboard when I don’t play the game that often or at least not with another person. Well, here is another chess set I will never have. The awesome Legend of Zelda chess set below uses the cartoony style I can’t stand but for a chess game, it is still really cool. It took Ben Howard of Fizz Man Industries three months to carve all of the pieces by hand and I would say that was time well spent after seeing the results. Great job Ben! Do you have a cool chess set? Let us know in the comments!
