With The Legend of Zelda's ever-growing franchise, it's hard to find a gamer who doesn't have a love for the series, whether it stems from the original NES game or is as recent as Echoes of Wisdom. Aside from the massive lineup of unique games, there is even more merchandise out there to give you plenty of options when shopping for the holidays.
From Amiibo to games to the Nintendo Switch itself, The Legend of Zelda fans are practically spoiled with gift options. Although some gift ideas are on the pricier side, with Zelda being a first-party Nintendo IP, there are still several options to choose from that fit a variety of preferences and budgets.
10 The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
List Price: $59.99
Although it's not a traditional Zelda game with Link being front and center, this latest addition to The Legend of Zelda lineup is no less enjoyable. Featuring Zelda herself as the star of the game, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom features an art style reminiscent of Link's Awakening. After Link's heroic saving of Zelda and the seeming defeat of Ganondorf, Link is dragged down into a mysterious rift where only Zelda can rescue him.

Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Proves BOTW & TOTK Are The Series’ Future
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom continues the series' ethos of exploration that was introduced in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Despite the unique story, the overall adventure is similar to one that Link would embark on with special abilities and enemies galore. If your gift receiver has already played through the majority of Link's games, then this is a perfect chance to offer them something new with a familiar feel. Note that while The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has a digital and physical version, they are mostly the same other than the fact that you're more likely to find deals on physical copies.
9 The Legend of Zelda Coffee Table Books
List Price: $39.99-$49.99
Traditionally known as coffee table books, these books are simply large encyclopedia-like collector's items that typically showcase either information about the game or its artwork. They're not only great decorative items that display a love for The Legend of Zelda franchise, but they're also filled with content that any Zelda fan is sure to appreciate and cherish. While your gift receiver may already have one, there are several options to choose from, each featuring unique information.

How Ocarina Of Time's Bosses Compared To Their Original Concept Art
Concept art for Ocarina of Time is hard to come by, but a few sketches show how some of the game's bosses may have changed during their design phase.
The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia features information on everything from the expansive world to the smallest creatures within it, The Legend of Zelda Hyrule Historia features information regarding the canonical timeline of Zelda, and finally, The Legend of Zelda Art & Artifacts features concept art and designs spanning across Zelda's 30-year+ history. Regardless of which book you opt for, most can be found at any local bookstore and are sure to impress every Zelda fan.
8 The Legend of Zelda Amiibos
List Price: $15.99
Those who are long-time Nintendo fans may be familiar with Amiibo figures, which are not only collector's items to put on display but also offer various in-game rewards for compatible Zelda games. Nintendo has created hundreds of Amiibo, including cards, figures, and other variants, so it's no surprise that there's an exciting Legend of Zelda Amiibo lineup to choose from. Although they're relatively budget-friendly, many fans make it a point to complete the collection, which is where the cost can start to add up.

Every Legend Of Zelda Amiibo Released So Far
There are a total of 25 Legend of Zelda Amiibo released so far, and there are eight different games that they can be used in for varying effects.
For this reason, your gift receiver is unlikely to have all the ones they would like, if they even have any at all. Despite the fact that Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are the stars of the franchise, Nintendo offers Amiibo for more than just them, including characters like Mipha and Urbosa. Furthermore, there are Link and Zelda versions for most of the recently released games, so you also have the option of selecting an Amiibo from their favorite Zelda game as well, from stores like Nintendo, GameStop, Target, and more.
7 The Legend of Zelda First Four Figures
List Price: $99.99+
If the person you're shopping for already has a collection of The Legend of Zelda Amiibo, or if you're looking for something that resembles more of an official figurine, then perhaps the Zelda First Four Figures might be a better fit. The First Four Figures are high-quality, large, painted figures that often feature extreme attention to detail and other features. Unlike Amiibo, which is smaller and prioritized more for its in-game usage, First Four Figures are large and strictly for collecting and displaying.
The main caveat with the First Four Figures is that they are on the pricier side when it comes to figurines, but you can find discounts at various retailers such as BoxLunch, though your options may be more limited than using the official First Four Figures site. Once again, similar to Amiibo, there are figures for various characters across several The Legend of Zelda games, so there are plenty of options to find what suits your needs.
6 Nintendo Switch Games Case
List Price: $14.99
If the person you're shopping for does purchase physical games rather than just purchasing them through the Nintendo Online Store, then a carrying case for Nintendo Switch games is a perfect gift. Not all Switch cases contain slots for individual games, and most players aren't thrilled about the idea of carrying around loose games or several boxes when traveling.

10 First-Party Exclusives The Switch 2 Needs At Launch
The Nintendo Switch 2 will need to launch with several impressive first-party titles, many of which should come from these franchises.
Therefore, the perfect solution that doesn't risk damage to the original case for the game nor risk losing the game itself is a carrying case for Switch games. They make these in various shapes and sizes, but more importantly, they make them in various designs, which means there are several Legend of Zelda options to choose from. One great option is the Game Case that GameStop offers, which holds up to 12 Switch games and 12 Micro SD cards.
5 Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition
List Price: $209.99
If the person you are shopping for perhaps doesn't own a Switch and has only experienced the older console versions of The Legend of Zelda franchise, then a Nintendo Switch is probably the greatest gift you could give them. Furthermore, there's also the possibility that they do own a Nintendo Switch but have mentioned wanting the Lite version or currently share with someone. In that case, this is still a great option, since investing in the Zelda editions of the full console would be a bad move with the Switch 2 on the horizon.
That being said, the Lite version is a much better investment in the meantime, and with several Zelda games exclusive to the Switch and Nintendo Switch Online's retro collection, there's no better gift than the Switch Lite Hyrule Edition. This gold edition of the console features a unique Zelda design on the back and even comes with a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, a $50 value.
4 Nintendo Switch Carrying Case
List Price: $19.99+
If your gift receiver already owns a full Nintendo Switch console but doesn't have a good way to transport it, then a gift case could be another good gift option. The Nintendo Switch itself doesn't come with a carrying case, and throwing it in a bag without one can be dangerous as you risk mes the screen or creating drift on the analog sticks. Therefore, a Switch Case is not only an aesthetically pleasing investment but also a necessary one for any Switch owner.

The Legend Of Zelda Might Repeat a Pointless 22-Year-Old Controversy On Switch 2
A new Nintendo console brings all new possibilities for The Legend of Zelda, but on direction might cause some undue controversy deja vu.
There are plenty of The Legend of Zelda-themed options to choose from when it comes to cases, so finding one to suit their style should be no problem either. These cases, though official Nintendo merch, can be found at other retailers outside just the Nintendo store. To get an idea of all your options, be sure to check retailers like Target and Best Buy as well, who may offer versions sold out at other locations.
3 The Legend of Zelda Graphic T-Shirt
List Price: $19.99+
Although hoodies and sweatshirts might seem like more holiday-appropriate options, not everyone lives in a location where it gets cold during the holidays, and even fewer live in areas where hoodies can be worn year-round. For this reason, if you want to go the clothing route, then a graphic T-shirt is often your best bet. Most Zelda fans are likely to appreciate on, and even if they own one or two already, there are thousands out there to choose from.
Pop culture-based stores, like BoxLunch or Hot Topic, feature several options to choose from depending on the style of who you're shopping for. So, whether you're looking for a shirt featuring the Koroks or something a little more simplistic with a small Triforce decal, they have something for everyone.
2 Nintendo Switch Online hip
List Price: $49.99
If the person you're shopping for has played every new mainline Zelda game but has yet to experience the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion, which features nearly every other previous Legend of Zelda game in the franchise, aside from a few, then a hip is a perfect gift. Even if they already have Nintendo Switch Online, this will just add to their current subscription and give them the expansion, so they won't have to renew anytime soon and can enjoy the full term of your gift.

Nintendo Switch Online Keeps Ignoring One Of Donkey Kong's Biggest Games
Donkey Kong is making a huge resurgence on the Nintendo Switch, but one important game hasn’t ed the flood of DK titles on Nintendo Switch Online.
For this, the one thing to keep an eye out for is that there are two versions of the Nintendo Switch Online hip, and they are Individual and Family. Family is more expensive and covers several Nintendo s, so if you're shopping for a couple of siblings or a couple, then this could be an option that covers them both, but if it's just one person, then you want to get the individual. Additionally, ensure you purchase the Nintendo Online hip + Expansion, not the basic $20 one.
1 The Legend of Zelda Master Sword Proplica
List Price: $199.99+
Perhaps the priciest item on this list and one that is sure to impress every The Legend of Zelda fan out there is the Proplica Master Sword. This 41-inch replica sword is a stunning recreation of Link's legendary weapon and comes with a sheath and custom display stand to show it off in all its glory. Unlike other prop versions, this is not a toy and is purely a finely crafted collector's item, but it does feature a vibration gimmick and play tunes from across Hyrule.

Link Cosplay With Real Glowing Master Sword Branded "Incredible" By Zelda Fans
A recent cosplay of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is "incredible," according to the Zelda community on Reddit.
Having just been released in September of this year, it is the perfect chance to grab this collector's item before it's gone, and, likely, the person you're shopping for has not purchased it yet themselves. While you can purchase it directly from the Proplica website, you're more likely to find deals in other places, like GameStop, so it's best to check there first for this iconic Legend of Zelda merchandise.
