The Good Smile Company have some exciting news for fans of the Zelda range of Nendoroid toys. You’ll soon be able to place Princess Zelda of Breath of the Wild next to Link and that adorable Guardian figure. We only have this image to go on for now, but if it’s anything like the excellent Zelda Nendoroid figures we’ve…
There have been a number of non-canonical entries in Zelda media over the years. These are products that, while they may sport “The Legend of Zelda” brand, don’t have a place in the official timeline. These include the infamous CD-i games, the hack-and-slash spin-off Hyrule Warriors, the 1989 animated series, and of course, Akira Himekawa’s excellent manga series.…
Creating a Champion, the Breath of the Wild art book released by Dark Horse late last year, is a gorgeous look at the game’s development. First released in Japan as Master Works, readers would assume that the English-language version would be the same as the original, but a surprising omission has come to light: Link’s…
The Zoras were always an incredibly fascinating race in my opinion, and one of my favorite renditions of this tribe of fish folk is their Twilight Princess appearance. I always found their designs to be beautiful, especially that of Queen Rutela’s, but these designs were not the only ones to be created for this game.…
This past summer, Hallmark began releasing Nintendo-themed ornaments, and it is finally The Legend of Zelda‘s turn. The latest ornament features Link, sporting his original design from The Legend of Zelda on the NES, and includes a fun surprise: the ornament plays the Zelda theme song! Hallmark began shipping the ornaments earlier this month, and they are still…
Bandai’s candy division and Nintendo have created packs of Breath of the Wild trading cards that come with apple-flavored candies in Japan. The goal, like any trading card, is to collect all the cards, or just your favorites, while satisfying your sweet tooth as a bonus. It reminds me of when I used to collect baseball…
Akira Himekawa’s excellent Twilight Princess manga will be seeing the English translation of volume five soon. You can currently preorder the latest edition from Amazon, with the title having an expected release date of July 9, 2019. If you haven’t checked out this series yet, I highly recommend it. The artwork is stunning, and its retelling…

From items to clothes, various iconic pieces from Zelda can be found throughout the animal villages, and we’re here to discuss some of these hidden treasures! These…
The Nintendo Direct was shown today, and one of the more notable bits to come out of it came in the form of Diablo III information. While showing off gameplay footage, including some that included the Ganondorf costume set in action, they announced that the game will come out on November 2nd. Coming with all…
Merchoid has revealed four new premium officially licensed Zelda bags. First up (and my personal favorite) is the “Little Voice Inside My Head” Navi handbag. This light blue purse comes decorated with a Navi tassel, the map of Hyrule on the strap, and a subtle Triforce design imprinted on the fabric. Our favorite enthusiastically helpful fairy has…
A. Honda and S. Nagano, collectively known as Akira Himekawa, will be featured guests at this weekend’s Crunchyroll Expo 2018 in San Jose, California. The talented duo is known in the Zelda community for their ambitious manga adaptations of the series, and will be discussing those and many other works from their expansive 30-year careers…
After playing both Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, I immediately saw a connection between Malon and Ilia. I was much fonder of Malon as she didn’t yell at Link for riding his horse to save people, but petty bitterness aside, I would never have guessed that originally Ilia may have had more of a connection…
Some new Nintendo merchandise is on the way from Hashtag Collectables, with six new puppets planned for release. These puppets are based on both the Mario and Zelda franchises. For us Zelda fans, there are the Wind Waker versions of both Link and Zelda. Those after the Mario puppets, there will be Toad, Yoshi, Bowser Jr., and a massive Piranha Plant.…
The fifth installment in Akira Himekawa’s action-packed Twilight Princess manga series will be released in Japan on August 28! It is currently available to pre-order from Amazon Japan, though it will be printed entirely in Japanese. For fans outside of Japan, don’t worry, it’s highly likely that this entry will make its way outside of Japan sooner than…
