Hasbro has introduced a new interactive The Legend of Zelda collectible, bringing the iconic Master Sword to life with a 27-inch electronic replica. Designed after its appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the toy features a suite of over 15 sound effects that respond to user movement, physical impact, and touch. Pre-orders for the item opened on September 9 across major retail platforms and the Hasbro Pulse store.
The product is slated to reach customers in spring 2026, a window that aligns with the upcoming April 30 theatrical release of the live-action Zelda film. This release provides a more budget-friendly option for fans compared to earlier premium offerings, such as Bandai’s 2024 Proplica version, which measured 41 inches and included haptic vibration features at a higher price point.
Tears of the Kingdom remains a significant pillar of the franchise since its 2023 debut on the Nintendo Switch. As the 20th mainline entry and a direct successor to Breath of the Wild, it set a franchise record by selling over 10 million units during its first weekend. With the film adaptation approaching, it is worth watching whether this release signals a broader push for accessible, interactive merchandise across Nintendo's major properties.
