Nintendo has revealed a new line of merchandise based on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom items, which include apparel, accessories and novelties, are available in Japan via Nintendo's online store, as well as stocked physically in Nintendo's superstores in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom continues to fascinate fans and newcomers. As with its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, players treat the world of Hyrule as a massive sandbox, using the game's refined building mechanics to create their own gadgets and structures. Some players have even spent hundreds of hours in Tears of the Kingdom, turning their «Hero's Path» travel histories into accidental works of art.
That kind of devotion inspires enthusiastic expressions of fandom, and one option for that outlet is through merchandising purchases. Nintendo's latest line of merchandise illustrates that, incorporating both practical and decorative items designed to give Tears of the Kingdom fans some stylish objects that cleverly reference in-game elements like the Zonai culture and iconography.
Nintendo announced the line's availability on April 26, 2024, via the Nintendo Official Store social media accounts. Sold primarily though the company's online store and physical retail outlets in Japan at this time, there is a chance that the items may make their way overseas to other Nintendo online and physical stores, just as pre-release Tears of the Kingdom merchandise is available at Nintendo NYC, the company's store in New York.
The merchandise line itself includes items ranging in price from 880 Yen (about $5.60 USD) for luminescent sticker sheets resembling Zonai carvings and patterns to 11,000 Yen (about $70 USD) for a full set of replica Secret Stones. One other highlight is a small floor rug patterned after the iconic Zonai Wing device.
