To celebrate The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary, I’m splashing out on some of the best merch and games the franchise has to offer

In my time as a The Legend of Zelda super-fan, I’ve also amassed (read: hoarded) an embarrassingly extensive collection of Zelda swag. From game card holders to plushies, keychains to controllers, I’ve got it all.

Now, as the 40th anniversary of the franchise looms, I’m on the hunt for the best games, merchandise, and gaming hardware to add to my collection, and there’s no better time than right now to celebrate all that makes the Zelda franchise so great.
