The highly sought-after Legend of Zelda Collector’s Edition Chess Set has made a return to Amazon’s inventory, sparking renewed interest among fans and collectors.
Despite its recent restock, the availability of this coveted Nintendo-licensed item remains extremely limited, with units quickly depleting as Amazon replenishes stock in small, unpredictable batches, mirroring its swift sell-out upon its initial June launch.
This officially licensed set captivates enthusiasts with its intricately designed gold and black figurines, portraying beloved characters from the Hyrule universe, including Link and Ganondorf as the central king pieces, complemented by Zelda and Twinrova as queens.
The detailed roster extends to iconic supporting heroes like Navi, Impa, Darunia, and Epona, battling against a formidable array of villains such as Iron Knuckles, Phantoms, Armos, and Deku Scrubs, all rendered with a distinctive weathered finish.
While this current edition offers a fresh opportunity, it’s not the first Zelda-themed chess product, with previous GameStop exclusives now commanding high prices on reseller markets, a trend also observed with the out-of-print Legend of Zelda Monopoly.
For those exploring alternative gaming-themed chess options, the Super Mario Chess Set stands out, featuring 32 custom-sculpted and hand-painted figures of Mushroom Kingdom characters, and offering an accessible entry point at a lower price point from various retailers.
Beyond Nintendo, The Noble Collection provides an extensive range of impressive themed chess sets inspired by popular entertainment franchises, including a detailed Lord of the Rings set allowing players to command armies of good or evil, alongside Wizard Chess from Harry Potter and a unique Tridimensional Chess Set from Star Trek.
With its unique design and the enduring popularity of the Legend of Zelda franchise, this collector’s item is expected to sell out rapidly again, urging interested buyers to secure their set quickly from Amazon or other listed retailers like Barnes & Noble before it once again becomes a prized item on the secondary market.
