Nintendo Store Celebrates Zelda’s Return With Exclusive New Official Merch Collection
Nintendo is celebrating The Legend of Zelda’s return on Nintendo Switch 2 with a new official merchandise collection released the same day as the remake of the classic Ocarina of Time.
The new Nintendo Store range includes a playable recreation of Link’s legendary ocarina, decorative accessories, household items and a series of gold badges celebrating the hero’s appearances throughout the franchise.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time originally launched for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, becoming the first fully three-dimensional entry in the series and introducing a musical system that played an important role in Link’s adventures across Hyrule.
Throughout the game, players learned melodies that could change the time of day, summon Epona and transport Link to different locations, performing each song through the titular instrument.
The Nintendo Switch 2 remake expands on that mechanic with a microphone-based system that allows players to perform the melodies using their own voices or musical instruments.
For the new merchandise collection, Nintendo has recreated Link’s blue ocarina as a functional wind instrument, complete with a fingering chart explaining how to play different notes.
It joins the recently released Electric OCARINA OF TIME from HORI, an electronic accessory designed to interact with the Switch 2 game through its microphone, although Nintendo Store’s new version is a traditional instrument rather than an electronic device.
Alongside the ocarina, Nintendo Store has introduced seven other product types drawing inspiration from different parts of the Zelda series.
Let’s take a look at the full collection!
- Quilted Tote Bag – ¥3,300 (approximately $21 / £16)
A Zelda-themed quilted tote designed for everyday use.
- Celadon-Style Green Mug – ¥1,980 (approximately $13 / £9)
A green ceramic-style mug decorated with the Triforce symbol.
- Celadon-Style Green Plate – ¥1,980 (approximately $13 / £9)
A matching plate featuring the Triforce, designed to accompany the mug.
- Silent Princess Pin – ¥1,430 (approximately $9 / £7)
A decorative pin based on the blue-and-white Silent Princess flower seen in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
- Stamina Vessel Pin – ¥1,100 (approximately $7 / £5)
A pin recreating the green Stamina Vessel that Link can obtain to increase his stamina in the games.
- Ocarina of Time – ¥5,500 (approximately $35 / £26)
A playable recreation of Link’s blue ocarina, supplied with a fingering chart to help players learn its melodies.
- Embroidered Keychain Collection – ¥1,100 each (approximately $7 / £5) / ¥11,000 per box (approximately $70 / £52)
Ten embroidered designs inspired by Link’s equipment and other items from the games, including the Champion’s Tunic, Master Sword, Hylian Shield and Heart Containers.
- Link Gold Badge Collection – ¥1,100 each (approximately $7 / £5) / ¥11,000 per box (approximately $70 / £52)
Ten gold-colored badges depicting different versions of Link from across the series, with each game’s title engraved around the character artwork and a corresponding design on the reverse.
Both the embroidered keychains and gold badges are available individually as mystery selections, while their respective boxed sets contain all ten designs, allowing fans to complete either collection without relying on random purchases.
The different versions of Link are a central attraction of the gold badge collection, reflecting how the character’s appearance has changed across four decades of Zelda games while retaining elements of his signature equipment, including the Master Sword.
The legendary blade is also being transformed into an interactive alarm clock for Bandai’s upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Collection Ichiban Kuji, which will also include a coin bank modeled after one of Hyrule’s breakable pots.
Nintendo’s new Zelda merchandise collection officially launched in Japan on November 5, 2026, through the Nintendo Store and its physical Nintendo TOKYO, OSAKA, KYOTO and FUKUOKA locations.
