Zelda merchandise – the legend moves in with you
Since 1986, Link has been saving Hyrule, and for almost as long, fans have been collecting anything carrying the Triforce, the Master Sword, or the ocarina. The Legend of Zelda, developed by Nintendo under Shigeru Miyamoto, ranks among the most defining video game series of all time – from its NES beginnings to "Breath of the Wild" (2017), which redefined the open-world genre at the Switch's launch, and its sequel "Tears of the Kingdom" (2023). At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Zelda merchandise: figures, clothing, and home accessories for anyone who's never quite left Hyrule.
What makes Zelda stand out?
Records, to be precise. According to Guinness World Records, the NES cartridge of The Legend of Zelda was the first video game with battery-backed save functionality – Hyrule was simply too big for one sitting. "Ocarina of Time" (1998) still holds the Metacritic record today as the highest-rated video game ever, with a Metascore of 99. And the series' roots are as charming as its dungeons are winding: as a child, Shigeru Miyamoto roamed the forests and caves around his hometown near Kyoto – a cave he discovered and only dared enter with a lantern after days of hesitation became the blueprint for the dungeons. So anyone descending into a Zelda dungeon today is replaying a piece of Japanese childhood. That exact mix of pioneering spirit and personal signature is also what makes the series so rewarding as a collecting field: its symbols have stayed stable for decades – a Triforce from 1986 is still the same Triforce today.
Frequently asked questions
What Zelda products does Elbenwald offer?
Officially licensed fan items from figures and plush figures to T-shirts and hoodies to mugs and home accessories. The filters let you narrow the range down to your product type.
How do I recognize officially licensed Zelda merchandise?
By the Nintendo license notice on the product or packaging. Elbenwald carries exclusively licensed goods – from genuine Nintendo merchandise to official manufacturers like First 4 Figures or Funko.
Where does Princess Zelda get her name from?
From a real person: Zelda Fitzgerald, writer and wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Miyamoto liked the sound of the name so much that he adopted it for his princess – the series' hero, by the way, is named Link, not Zelda.
Range overview
Collectors start with figures – from the stylized vinyl format of Funko figures to the highly detailed display piece; it gets cuddlier with plush figures. Your closet calls for T-Shirts & Tops and hoodies & sweatshirts with Triforce and Hyrule motifs, and your kitchen calls for mugs for your morning buff. Blade fans should check out the decorative swords, and on the go, keychains keep the connection to Hyrule alive.
What else goes well with it?
Zelda rarely comes alone: in the Nintendo world, neighbors Super Mario, Kirby, and Animal Crossing are waiting – and anyone collecting beyond Nintendo finds the complete field from retro to current in the Gaming overview.
