When it comes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild figures, not many options. You can choose between Link’s Nendoroids and Good Smile Company’s Zelda. Jakks Pacific has released an Affiliate figure. The first 4 shapes are created with Link and Zelda figures based on their appearance. Each person is one tall, substantial figure with LED lighting elements, with the pair capturing finer details for each character.
The first thing I appreciate about the first 4 Pictures The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Link and Zelda’s stats are that they’re a bit larger than 1/8. Each is about 10 inches tall. This means being more detailed when it comes to their accessories and clothing. It really pays off for both characters. For example, the Sheikah Slate hooks on Zelda’s belt don’t feel flimsy or as if they could fall off. Each arrow of the link is quite complicated. You can actually see the lining on the fabric and decorations.
I also feel this benefits the characters when it comes to paint jobs. Every occurrence of the figures is absolutely correct. There are no overlapping areas or missed spots. People can appreciate accents like details on gloves or seams on pants. It means that the different paints used stand out as well. For example, both Link and Zelda’s eyes are glossy, making them appear more alive. Zelda has pearl paint used on parts of her shirt. Both Link and Zelda have metal accents on things like belts, boots, shirts, and weapons. I thought I would appreciate some highlights in their hair, to provide some shadow around Link’s layers and Zelda’s braids. But everything is completely accurate and evokes the same feeling of the game.
This also applies to their postures. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link is a more dynamic and dynamic character and we see Zelda as an adventurer and researcher, and the numbers reflect those feelings. Link is equipped with a Warrior Sword and a Travel Shield on his back. He is holding a bow, drawing an Ancient Arrow. Looks like he’s running. It makes his image feel more interesting. For comparison, Zelda is watching. She was standing dignified, regal. She looks as if she is an authority figure. with slightly wavy hair. Assuming that this isn’t based on her being more active Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity appearance, it is suitable for the situation. It also pairs well with Link, as she can analyze and observe while he runs, preparing to attack.
It also means all the first 4 Pictures The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Link and Zelda’s stats are pretty stable. With Link, even though he only has one foot, he still manages to keep his balance. The pose and position mean you probably won’t be able to clearly see the black part that’s anchoring him to the Sheikah stand. The larger-than-normal size means you won’t have to worry about the Ancient Arrow’s bowstring or shaft being damaged. As for Zelda, she’s sold out amazingly. Both feet are on the ground, without any small or super delicate parts. She stood tall and didn’t go anywhere.
I also appreciate the nod to technology in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild presented in each of the first 4 Figures’. Both are attached to the light-emitting LED base. They also have an item they are holding that will light up when you flip the switch. In Link’s case, the Ancient Arrow he’s redrawing will light up. For Zelda, the Sheikah Slate she is holding will glow. That’s a great effect. Especially since there are two options for it. The first provides a constant light. The second makes it increase and decrease the intensity. Both options are interesting. I have felt that continuous light seems more effective for display. One of those pulses just feels really effective when you’re watching it.
But while this is a very interesting addition to image enhancement, it is impractical for Zelda. With Link, the glow attribute is gorgeous. You really see the contrast both on the base and with the Ancient Arrow. It really does a great job of calling back the game, because we see that happen in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. With Zelda, it’s much softer. Highlights from the facility are excellent. But her posture is not as dynamic. To see the glowing stone, you actually have to look at her from both behind and above. It limits your posing options a bit, if you want to take advantage of that part.
It’s just a collection of details. Both Link and Zelda’s personalities are reflected in these images. The paint job is excellent. The use of LEDs does not feel constrained, as they are realistic and meaningful to each character. Link is a bit more dynamic and complex, with a more active stance. However, Zelda still fits her personality. Both are pretty well done and more complex than I expected.
