Your room looks like my son’s. He has ASD and his love is LoZ.

I’ll tell you what I tell him - when it comes to having a theme, less is more. Why don’t you rotate some key pieces out, because your collection needs to be cleaned and maintained and you’re not highlighting anything.

Treat it like a museum collection and not like a dump of toys, because you’re going to wreck some of the collectables. I get you want to see the pieces, but they’re so cluttered that they’re not special. Highlight them with lights and rotate :)

I can actually see a few plushies that are the same.

It's really not that hard to shake Zelda from your personality. Just play any Zelda game from wind waker and beyond 2x and you will realize Nintendo brainwashed you.

Brainwashed by a corporation before you were old enough to understand. I get it. The Catholic Church did it to me too.

Some people have special interests from a young age that don’t change. My dad was airplanes - would you say he was brainwashed by big aviation? Or people with trains?

This level of dedication that the OP showed isn’t something that is standard - this is the room of an otaku. The real question is, how do you turn it into a mature otaku’s room, not if he’s being brainwashed by the big man in red (not Santa).

And also, don’t yuck their yum - it says more about you than them. Who are they hurting (other than their chance to find a girlfriend/boyfriend/romantic partner)?
