The Legend of Zelda Officially Returns With New Release Spring 2027 - Comic Book Resources

What the report says

CBR reports that The Legend of Zelda will receive a new officially licensed release in spring 2027, but it is not a new mainline video game. According to the article, Nintendo and Hasbro are collaborating on The Legend of Zelda: Heroes of Hyrule, a figure line planned to launch May 1, 2027. The first wave is based on character designs from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The initial assortment described by CBR includes Link, Princess Zelda and Ganondorf, with accessories such as the Master Sword. The article says Nintendo of America shared images of the figures on Instagram, and that preorders through Hasbro Pulse were set to open July 22, 2026. CBR frames the release as arriving shortly after the planned live-action Legend of Zelda movie.

CBR also notes that Hasbro and Nintendo have confirmed this is only the first wave, leaving room for additional characters later. The outlet speculates that other Tears of the Kingdom characters, or figures based on older Zelda games, could follow, but no further lineup is confirmed in the supplied text.

The announcement matters because Zelda has been relatively quiet since Tears of the Kingdom in 2023 and Echoes of Wisdom in 2024. CBR says an Ocarina of Time remake is expected in 2026, but this 2027 release is a merchandising expansion rather than the next major game entry. The figure line shows Nintendo continuing to build Zelda’s presence beyond games through collectibles and film tie-ins.
