A Figma of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Link is now available for pre-order. Link has been featured in the Japanese line of action figures in the past, with a Figma of him from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword being released in 2022.

Produced by Max Factory, the Figma series of articulated collectibles primarily features characters from Japanese anime, manga, and video games. Distributor Good Smile Company revealed at February's WonHobby Life 38 event that it would release several The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Figmas, including ones for Link and Ganondorf, who are the game's protagonist and antagonist, respectively.

In a recent post, Good Smile Company announced that pre-orders for the Figma of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Link have started. The $115.99 action figure is expected to ship out in Q3 2025, and it will include several faceplates and optional parts. These include the game's paraglider and the iconic Master Sword, the latter of which is widely considered to be the best weapon in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Aside from Link and Ganondorf, another The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom character who will receive a Figma is series namesake Princess Zelda. While the iterations of Link and Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild never received Figmas, both were featured in Good Smile Company's Nendoroid line of chibi figures. Much like the Figma series, Nendoroid focuses on characters from Japanese anime, manga, and video games, but there are occasional non-Japanese media-related releases, like the Nendoroid figures based on Cuphead characters from last year.

Despite being relatively new, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is already hailed by many as one of the best open-world games of all time. The critically acclaimed 2023 title was praised for building on the solid foundations laid out by its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and adding a great deal of new content. Critics noted in particular how the sequel expanded on the world of Hyrule, introducing new sky islands, Depths, and caves.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has sold an estimated 20 million copies as of December, but Nintendo EPD's latest entry in the beloved action-adventure franchise was only the second best-selling game in Japan last year. The Japanese puzzle title Suika Game ended up becoming the most downloaded Nintendo Switch game for 2023.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the sequel to the beloved open-world adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This installment once again sees Link and Zelda battling to protect Hyrule from falling to Ganondorf. This new adventure takes place in the same land of
