Takara Tomy brings Zelda: Twilight Princess charms to Japan in October 2026

The charms are described in coverage as Twilight Princess historical charms and are tied to Nintendo’s 2006 Zelda game. For now, this is a Japan-only rollout through the familiar capsule system, where buyers receive a random item with each spin.

At this stage, only the timing, price, and region are known. Nothing has been confirmed about a worldwide release, and based on the available information, it is not clear whether Takara Tomy has made an official announcement outside of the coverage.

What happened

According to the report, a new merchandise line based on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is coming to Japan. Takara Tomy is said to be releasing the charms through gachapon machines, a distribution format widely used in Japan for small collectible items and toys. Each capsule contains one random item per spin, so buyers do not know in advance which charm they will get.

The planned release window is October 2026. The price per charm is listed at 300 yen, which the report converts to roughly $2. That dollar figure is only an estimate and may change with exchange rates.

The available information is limited to Japan. No worldwide release has been announced, and no details have been shared about any possible international distribution. The report also does not specify which day in October 2026 the charms will appear in the machines.

The claims in the report refer to a Game Rant article about Takara Tomy’s Twilight Princess charms. Based on the information provided, it cannot be confirmed whether Takara Tomy has already made a separate official announcement, or whether the details have only surfaced through the coverage so far.

Background

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess first released in 2006 and later received an HD remaster on Wii U. The new charms reflect the game’s continued presence within Nintendo’s Zelda lineup and its long life in the merchandise and collectibles market.

The report also notes that Twilight Princess still has not officially been brought to Nintendo Switch as an HD port. That comment refers to the current state of affairs and does not say anything about Nintendo’s future plans. In other words, it describes what has not been announced yet, not a final rejection or a confirmed roadmap.

The new Takara Tomy release fits into a broader Japanese tradition of capsule and collectible products based on major game franchises. Gachapon machines are often used for small items with a fixed price per spin, and in this case the cost is 300 yen per charm. The report does not mention extra variants, a bundle price, or international sales channels.

That leaves the available information limited to a Japan release in October 2026, a price of 300 yen each, and a product line centered on Twilight Princess. An international rollout has not been confirmed, and the exact contents of the set are not further detailed in the provided text.
