Since its first humble appearance in 1986, The Legend Of Zelda has developed into an undeniable video gaming institution. The series’ mute hero Link is as recognisable as Nintendo’s other superstar, Super Mario, and his exploits to save and assist Princess Zelda have converted many gamers into hardcore followers.

Through a combination of brilliant gameplay, imaginative fantasy lore, splintering timelines and compelling adventuring narratives, The Legend Of Zelda series has established itself as an unbeatable force for not only Nintendo’s gaming systems, but within the wider gaming industry. Whether it be with early innovations like Ocarina of Time and A Link To The Past, or more recent cutting edge masterworks like Twilight Princess and best-selling Breath Of The Wild, the franchise has always had the power to move audiences with its sublime gaming mastery.

If you’re a fan of the franchise, or know someone who is, and looking for some premier Zelda celebrating loot, then look no further - we’ve collected together the best Zelda merchandise available. There’s plenty of gear celebrating the series’ iconic imagery of the Master Sword and Triforce, books examining the brilliant lore of Hyrule, and figurines and plushes to compliment any video gaming merch collection.
