Why thank you! Very much appreciated.

It isn't. It was made by i-CON for no particular reason, or at least not a Zelda-related reason that I'm aware of, and you can see its retail box
here which has no Zelda art or any mention of Zelda anywhere on it. I bought it because I had the gold Zelda DS Lite and was playing Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks on it, and the 18K plated stylus was of a much better quality than the plastic stylus that came with the gold DS Lite. So yeah I used the 18K stylus quite a bit, but I've sort of retired it now for fear of the gold plating rubbing off!

Again, thank you very much!
No, no, two is more than enough for my wallet. In fact I haven't collected any EarthBound stuff in years so that I can fully devote my collection dollars to Zelda. Looking back on my EB collection though, it tempts me to get back into it. There's still some guides and soundtracks I could want, not to mention the Mother 3 bundle that came with a limited edition Game Boy Micro. That one sells for like $700 though.
By the way, if you haven't played EarthBound, and I know most people probably haven't, it just came out a couple months ago on Wii U Virtual Console. So now's your chance!
Thanks for the comments!
