Takara Tomy has confirmed an expanded Legend of Zelda merchandise line, unveiling the Historical Charms+ collection for release in Japan in October 2026.
The toy and collectibles firm posted details to its website—an announcement first noted by Siliconera—saying the new set doubles the scope of its original run and will be distributed through gachapon capsule machines.
According to Takara Tomy, the Historical Charms+ lineup features Triforce-shaped charms celebrating 12 entries in The Legend of Zelda series.
Each gachapon pull will cost ¥300 (roughly $2), and the company has not announced plans for an international release.
Takara Tomy also noted that its original Historical Charms series, released in 2017, covered six Zelda titles, making the 2026 set a broader retrospective of the franchise.
The charms included in the Historical Charms+ set commemorate the following games: The Legend of Zelda; Zelda II: The Adventure of Link; The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask; The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker; The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword; The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild; The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (2019 remake); The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
The release arrives in a milestone year for the franchise: 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda.
Nintendo’s anniversary Nintendo Direct earlier this month confirmed a release date and extended gameplay for the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake and included a slate of related announcements.
That presentation showcased a special edition Nintendo Switch 2 and Pro Controller, new Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo, an update on the live-action movie adaptation, and a series of anniversary concerts planned to begin in 2027.
For collectors and Zelda fans in Japan, the Historical Charms+ gachapon will offer an affordable way to own small, official commemorative items tied to landmark games across the franchise’s history.
International fans should watch Takara Tomy and Nintendo channels for any future distribution details or export information.
