The Legend of Zelda: Master Collection trading cards: Nintendo and Panini are producing a physical card set with artwork from every mainline Zelda entry, including The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, as part of the franchise's 40th anniversary. The set is a collectible, not a game or remaster, and key release details remain unannounced.
The Legend of Zelda: Master Collection trading cards, Digi Mart USA News: Nintendo and Panini are producing The Legend of Zelda: Master Collection, a trading card set featuring artwork from every mainline entry in the series, including The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. The set is part of the franchise’s 40th anniversary celebrations and is a physical collectible, not a game or remaster.
The collection was revealed during The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, but only in the presentation’s UK and European broadcasts. Panini UK and Ireland confirmed the set the same day, while the North American and Japanese versions of the Direct did not show it.
Panini, the Italian company behind the cards, is best known for sports trading cards and World Cup sticker albums.
Artwork in the set spans from the original 1986 The Legend of Zelda through Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Early sample cards show Link from Tears of the Kingdom, Princess Zelda from Skyward Sword, and a scene from Ocarina of Time.
Panini has shown box art in white and gold and black and gold variants, with Link across four decades and etchings of the Hyrule map. A black collector album with an elastic closure and embossed gold Zelda logo will be sold alongside the cards, and packaging shown at the reveal lists six cards per pack.
Nintendo and Panini have not announced a price, release date, total card count, or the regions where the set will be sold. A retailer listing places the release in the fourth quarter of 2026, but neither company has confirmed that window.
The reveal comes as Nintendo released its Ocarina of Time remake exclusively on Switch 2 on November 5, priced at $59.99 for digital and $69.99 for physical. The company has not announced a remake or remaster of The Wind Waker or Twilight Princess.
The Wind Waker HD launched on Wii U in September 2013, followed by Twilight Princess HD on the same console in March 2016. Neither HD version has been ported to Switch or Switch 2. The original GameCube release of The Wind Waker has been playable through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack GameCube library since Switch 2 launched on June 5, 2025.
