Nintendo’s most iconic trio has jumped from Hyrule to your shelf. Hasbro, working with Nintendo, opened preorders on July 22 for its Heroes of Hyrule line of The Legend of Zelda action figures, and they’re modeled on the character designs from Tears of the Kingdom. Link, Princess Zelda and Ganondorf are all part of the debut wave.
If you’ve been burned by past Zelda collectibles that were more statue than toy, this is the good news: these are proper articulated figures. Each one packs multiple points of articulation and ships with a set of accessories, so you can pose Link mid-swing or stage a proper showdown against Ganondorf rather than settling for a static display piece.
Scale is the detail collectors will care about most. Link and Zelda are 6-inch figures, which lines them up neatly with the industry-standard 6-inch collector format that dominates most modern display shelves. Ganondorf, fittingly for the series’ towering antagonist, stands taller at 7.5 inches, giving him the physical presence to loom over the two heroes when they share a shelf.
Here’s how the pricing breaks down:
- Link — US$27.99
- Princess Zelda — US$27.99
- Ganondorf — US$42.99
That premium on Ganondorf tracks with his larger size and the extra plastic that goes into that 7.5-inch frame. At just under US$28 apiece, Link and Zelda sit in comfortable impulse-buy territory for the average Zelda fan, while the Gerudo king asks for a slightly heavier commitment.
The figures are penciled in for a Spring 2027 release, so anyone locking in a preorder now is playing the long game. That’s par for the course with licensed collectibles, where announcing early and shipping months later is standard practice — but it does mean you’ll want to keep an eye on your preorder to make sure it survives the wait.
What’s genuinely interesting here is the pairing itself. Hasbro is best known for lines like Marvel Legends and Star Wars: The Black Series, both of which built their reputations on that exact 6-inch articulated formula. Applying that same treatment to Nintendo’s flagship fantasy franchise suggests Hasbro is aiming these at serious collectors rather than the toy-aisle crowd, and it hints that the Zelda license could grow well beyond this opening trio if the first wave lands.
For now, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf are the whole roster — a tidy hero-heroine-villain set that captures the core dynamic of Tears of the Kingdom in plastic form. Whether Hasbro expands into secondary characters or alternate outfits down the line remains to be seen, but as a starting point, this trio covers the essentials.
