Best Plushes For The Legend Of Zelda Fans

The Wind Waker Princess Zelda Plush
The Wind Waker Princess Zelda Plush

Classic Princess Zelda

This adorable plush is of Princess Zelda in The Wind Waker, with delicate embroidery to add detail to her facial features and additional felt used for her accessories, such as her tiara.

Little Buddy
Dimensions
8"
Pros
  • Original design is greatly recreated
  • Embroidered details
Cons
  • More expensive at third-party stores

The Wind Waker is a fan-favorite game in the series, and the iteration of Princess Zelda featured in this title is a fantastic design too. She's recreated in plush form here, with all the details from her in-game appearance lovingly recreated throughout her outfit and accessories.

Her facial features, including the colorful blue eyeshadow from her design, have been embroidered, and she wears a felt, gold-colored tiara on her head. At eight inches tall, she won't take up too much space when on display, especially as she's best positioned when sitting down.

Hero of Winds

Toon Link as he appears in The Wind Waker translates perfectly into plush form. He wears the iconic Hero's New Clothes and holds his trusty sword in his left hand.

Pros
  • Toon Link suits plush form perfectly
  • Complete with trusty sword

The Hero of Winds takes the form of Toon Link, and it's almost as if this design were made to be a plush. Wearing the traditional green tunic and hat, dubbed the Hero's New Clothes in the game, this Link plush captures the classic essence of Link. His trademark cartoony eyes are embroidered into the fabric, and he holds his trusty weapon, a sword, in his left hand.

Just like the matching Princess Zelda plush, he's a modest eight inches tall. You could display him on his own, or, of course, pair him up with the Zelda plush. It's what the two of them would want.

Hylian Shield Plush
Hylian Shield Plush

The one and only shield!

The essential shield for any hero. This plush is designed to replicate the Hylian Shield, from its protective shape to the Hylian Crest and Triforce details used for the pattern on the front.

Brand
Club Mocchi Mocchi
Dimensions
15"
Pros
  • Perfectly captures the Hylian Shield design
  • Larger size makes it the ideal pillow
Cons
  • More expensive due to its size

Featured in many Zelda games, including Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Tears of the Kingdom, the Hylian Shield is an iconic part of the series, serving as Link's reliable shield as he takes on the likes of monsters and the all-mighty Ganon. In plush form, it's not likely to protect you from the evil Demon King, but it does make a great decoration piece, or even a comfy cushion thanks to its size.

Just like in the games, this plush features the intricate design of the Hylian Shield, from its royal blue base to the Hylian Crest and Triforce featured in the center. If you want something a little different from your usual character-inspired plush, the Hylian Shield is the way to go.

Korok Plush
Korok Plush

Yahaha!

The Legend of Zelda's little forest spirits look great in plush form. Bigger than your usual plush, this Korok is super huggable and is inspired by Makar from The Wind Waker.

Brand
Club Mocchi Mocchi
Dimensions
15"
Pros
  • Large, huggable size
  • Koroks look great as a plush!
Cons
  • More expensive due to its size

Luckily, you don't need to traipse around the misty Lost Woods or complete 1000 puzzles to find this plush. These little forest spirits have featured in The Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom, though this particular plush takes inspiration from Makar's design in The Wind Waker.

It's made from soft, huggable material, and comes in at 15 inches, making it a pretty sizeable plush. Whether you're a fan of the Koroks' original appearance on the GameCube or enjoyed finding them across Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, you can't go wrong with adding this plush to your collection.

Breath Of The Wild Princess Zelda Plush
Breath Of The Wild Princess Zelda Plush

Princess of Calamity

Princess Zelda is taking a break from researching Guardians and her power to hang out in your plush collection. The plush uses her Breath of the Wild design, complete with the braids across her head and belt for the Sheikah Slate.

Brand
Little Buddy
Dimensions
12"
Pros
  • Intricately replicates Breath of the Wild's design
  • Embroidered features

Breath of the Wild saw a new design for Princess Zelda, unlike most of her previous iterations in the series. Rather than donning royal dresses, this Zelda prefers clothes suitable for researching ancient Sheikah technology — though you can still see the noble influences through the inclusion of the Triforce and the primarily royal blue color scheme.

This plush delightfully recreates the design, down to the braids and clips in her golden hair. Zelda also has a belt around her waist with a pouch attached to it, no doubt for her to store her Sheikah Slate in. The plush comes in at 12 inches tall, though a little shorter when sitting down, and is the perfect shelf buddy.

Breath Of The Wild Link Plush
Breath Of The Wild Link Plush

Hero of the Wild

The Hero of the Wild's design is a departure from all the Links that came before him, but you have to admit the blue Champion's Tunic suits him a great deal. This plush uses that design without forgetting important small details, like Link's earrings.

Brand
N/A
Dimensions
10"
Pros
  • Great details, like the hairband and earrings
  • Includes sword and shield accessories

When he's not busy exploring every inch of Hyrule, finding hundreds of Koroks, and fighting off Calamity Ganon, Breath of the Wild Link could be sitting on your shelf as this plush. He swaps out the classic green for the blue Champion's Tunic, which is recreated with detail in this plush, down to the embroidered Master Sword silhouette down the front.

The details don't end there, though, as this Link wouldn't be complete without his complimentary blue earrings and hairband. On his back, you'll find the trusty sword and shield that he uses to take down those pesky Bokoblins.
