Finding a great gift for a gamer can be a complicated task, especially when they’re a fan of a 30-year-old series. Check out this list of the top gifts for Legend of Zelda fans.
In this day and age, most gamers with favorite game series pre-order or buy the latest entry as soon as they can, making it hard for their loved ones to gift them a game that they eagerly want. This is also true of The Legend of Zelda, which hasn’t seen a new main series entry since 2011 with Skyward Sword.
Thankfully, Game Rant is here to help. We’ve compiled a list of ten of the coolest Legend of Zelda themed merchandise and loot that any fan of the series would be thrilled to get as a gift. If your friend or loved one is a big fan of the Zelda series, look no further for a gift that’s sure to please.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Link Figma Action Figure ($49.99)
The Legend of Zelda has had plenty of action figures and toys come out over the years, but it would be hard for any action figure to beat a Figma. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Link Figma features extremely flexible joints that allow for an extremely wide range of poses, as well as an extra face plate that lets Link take on an angry facial expression, perfect for action shots. If that weren’t enough, Link’s sword and shield can be held or put on his back, making the customization of this figure nearly limitless.

Take This” that’s since evolved into a well-known internet meme.
