The announcement positions the product as a coordinated release, with the first wave of figures slated to arrive next year and intended to tie in with a film the companies say is scheduled for the same period.
Pricing details were not included in the initial announcement.
Background and franchise context

The series launched on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 and has appeared across Nintendo hardware generations, including NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U and Nintendo Switch.
Most recently, the series has been a major presence on Nintendo Switch with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017) and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023).

Announcement details (rewritten)
According to the companies’ joint communication, “Nintendo and Hasbro have unveiled The Legend of Zelda-themed figures that are scheduled for release next year, with the first wave presented as part of a tie-in to an associated film slated for the same timeframe.
Pricing has not yet been announced.” That wording clarifies the companies’ positions while noting that specific retail information is still pending.
Community reaction (paraphrased)
On the My Nintendo News post, at least one commenter expressed disappointment with the announced figure roster, noting that the selection appeared to focus on a single prominent antagonist.
The comment read in essence that the announced figures seemed heavily centered on Ganondorf.
