Legend of Zelda Officially Brings Back Wind Waker and Twilight Princess in Master Collection
A collection for the anniversary
Nintendo is partnering with Italian company Panini on The Legend of Zelda: Master Collection, a card collection tied to the franchise’s 40th anniversary celebrations. It is set to feature art from every mainline entry, from the original game to the more recent Wilds duology.
The collection brings Wind Waker and Twilight Princess into the spotlight as part of a broader tribute to the series. The article also notes that fans have been wondering whether those games might receive remakes after the success of the Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2.
Early cards and box designs
Sample cards feature Link from Tears of the Kingdom, Princess Zelda from Skyward Sword and a scene from Ocarina of Time. The collection was first announced during a Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct in September.
Nintendo and Panini have shown a white-and-gold box design featuring depictions of Link and etchings of the Hyrule map. An alternative black-and-gold design has also been revealed, though details about that version remain unavailable.
Key details remain unknown
No exact release date, price, total number of cards or purchase locations have been announced. The article says past Panini collections suggest boxes may contain 12 or 24 packs, with about six cards in each pack, but those numbers have not been confirmed for this release.
Panini is known for sports cards and World Cup sticker collections. Further information about The Legend of Zelda: Master Collection is expected, but no additional details are provided.
