Geeky Gadgets Get Some Lovin’

Not to boast or brag, but it’s nice to get those small victories once in awhile. Not one but two companies are taking a gander at my gadget designs. Woo-hoo! Of course the biggest roadblock is all the licensing I’ve tied into these designs, especially the Zelda-themed key fob.

I decided to celebrate by creating new concept art for the Zelda Key, which would emit theme music from the game when pressed into use. I don’t think the final product would look as ‘pointy’ (I wouldn’t want that in my pocket!), as there are many different design possibilities here.

I won’t get my hopes up that any of these might become a reality any time soon, but it’s nice to see there is some value in a few of my ideas.

The key would be clamped to a spring-loaded button that would be pressed when the key is inserted into a lock, triggering theme music like the treasure chest opening, for example.

Again special thanks to Matt R., who helped tweak my initial idea of embedding the music into the door lock itself. I think a few decals would be ideal to help make the door lock appear like something out of a Zelda game too.
