It's a good time to be a Zelda fan
Zelda is getting a huge action figure lineup in time for movie, 40th anniversary
More The Legend of Zelda collectibles are on the way, just in time for the movie coming out next year and as part of the adventure series 40th anniversary. Nintendo and Hasbro are partnering up for a new line of six-inch scale figures set to come out in 2027.
The first three figures will be revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, which starts next week and runs from July 23 to July 26. We're guessing series staples Link, Zelda, and Ganon will be first up, but maybe Nintendo will throw a curveball and make Zill and his long snot bubble one of the first figures. Who knows?!
"For decades, The Legend of Zelda franchise has captivated fans through its deep lore, unforgettable characters and enduring sense of discovery," Hasbro toys and board games president Billy Lagor said in a news release. "By combining Nintendo’s iconic storytelling with Hasbro’s leadership in action and role-play, we’re delivering toys that invite fans to play, explore and forge their own epic adventures."
Hasbro's announcement is light on details, and ideally more information about what toys and collectibles fans can expect will be revealed at SDCC. The news release stated this is a "multi-year collaboration" between the two companies, so presumably many toys are on the way.
The Legend of Zelda turned 40 earlier this year as the first game in the franchise, The Legend of Zelda, was released in Japan on Feb. 21, 1986. It came out in North America Aug. 22, 1987, so hopefully the series' 40th anniversary celebrations continue rolling on over into next year.
In 2026, fans have been treated to a new Lego set that depicts the final battle from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Speaking of that classic game, Nintendo recently announced a remake of Ocarina of Time that will be released sometime later this year. The soundtrack to Breath of the Wild is getting a deluxe vinyl release in September. And in 2027, the long-awaited live-action film will be released on April 30, 2027.
