Relics of Hyrule: 40th Anniversary Special Toy Collection

Instead of launching a new game or a major remastered bundle, Nintendo has unveiled the Classic Weapons toy series as a heartfelt nod to the franchise’s roots. This collection features high-quality toy versions of the most iconic weapons we’ve used since the original 1986 release.

What’s in the Collection?

• The Master Sword (Pixel Edition): Inspired by the 8-bit look from the original NES game, this sword lights up and plays the legendary "Secret Discovery" sound when unsheathed.

• Hylian Shield (Foam & Plastic): Lightweight yet impressively detailed. The adjustable straps on the back fit heroes of all ages.

• Classic Boomerang: Modeled after its original 1986 design, this soft-textured yet durable boomerang is ready for adventure. (No guarantees it will return!)

• Ocarina of Time (Functional Toy): A mini instrument that plays legendary tunes like "Zelda’s Lullaby" and "Epona’s Song" when you press the keys.
