Bandai Namco announced it is teaming up with Nintendo to bring back The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild keychains. They first appeared in gashapon machines in Japan in October 2023, and now they’ll be back in capsule machines the first week of July 2025 in the country.
The price for a try remains the same. It costs 300円 (~$2) again. The lineup remains identical too. Two of the keychains are chibi versions of Link equipped with. bow and arrow, though in one instance he’s wearing his cloak. The Master Sword will appear as one item, and so will the “Z” from the logo with the Master Sword going through it. The final design is a more traditional take on Link armed with the bow and arrow with standard proportions, though it only involves a silhouette. Of those five, only the Master Sword in the stone isn’t a keychain.
Here’s a closer look at each one of them:
At the time they originally debuted, these The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild keychains only appeared in Japan. However, Bandai Namco now has Gashapon storefront locations in the US and Canada too. This means we could end up seeing them worldwide. The past Pikmin gashapon line appeared in capsule machines in Illinois, as an example.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild keychains debut in Japan this week. The game is available on the Wii U and Switch, with an upgrade available for Switch 2.
