Animate is adding a new lineup of original "The Legend of Zelda" merchandise from October 2, 2026. To mark the launch, an in-store and online fair will also run from the same day, giving shoppers a bonus bookmark set with qualifying purchases.
The new lineup totals around 70 items. Alongside Animate's signature "Aurora Acrylic Stand," the collection includes an elegant motif necklace inspired by the fairy Navi, an everyday-friendly accessory pouch, and an adorably shaped Korok curtain tassel, among other pieces.
Beyond merchandise, Animate will also carry The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Upgrade Passes for two titles in "The Legend of Zelda" series.
"The Legend of Zelda | Animate Fair" runs from October 2, 2026, to January 11, 2027, at Animate stores nationwide (including some overseas locations) and on the Animate online shop. During the fair, every ¥5,500 (tax included) spent on "The Legend of Zelda"-related items earns a bonus bookmark set (six bookmarks, two designs available).
A GPS check-in campaign through the Nintendo Store smartphone app will also run during the period, along with decorations at the Animate Ikebukuro Main Store's 1F entrance plaza.
