Luckily, it doesn't make that horrible beeping noise.

In 1986, those of us lucky enough to be have played The Legend of Zelda on the NES were busy getting the meaning of a pixelated heart container emblazoned into our consciousness for the foreseeable future. Today, that same symbol is the universal sign that says “I’ve been playing games for a long time.”

This necklace set plays on that very heart container, which causes a nostalgic twinge in so many of us. Created by Etsy user Nastalgame, these acrylic necklaces split in half so each of you can wear one. Almost too charming, it’d be a pretty adorable gift to give to someone you like (and maybe even game with) on Valentine’s Day.

The set is a terrific buy for $9.99, and it’s worth noting that there are quite a few other styles of the heart on the site as well. Keep it retro this holiday, my friends.
