Zelda Anniversary Celebrations Bring New Merchandise and Art Book Delays
Anonymous
Takara Tomy plans to release a Legend of Zelda Historical Charms+ gachapon collection in Japan in October 2026, featuring Triforce-shaped metal charms based on 12 games, at about 300 yen each; no international release has been announced. Nintendo’s 40th-anniversary celebrations also include more than 70 items arriving at Animate stores in Japan on October 2, with a six-bookmark set available to shoppers who spend 5,500 yen at the associated fair. Dark Horse postponed the English edition of Tears of the Kingdom—Secrets of the Zonai from October 2026 to March 30, 2027, citing its efforts to meet quality standards; the book is planned to include development material and lore, with additional collectibles in a premium edition. The 2019 Link’s Awakening remake’s toy-like visual style is also noted as an influence on Echoes of Wisdom and, reportedly, the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake.
