The Legend of Zelda series has been around for decades, and though finding Zelda-themed gaming accessories can be a bit difficult, its popularity as one of Nintendo’s most famous franchises means that there are plenty of fun, cool, and useful options available. With The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild came a new generation of fans, and Tears of the Kingdom expanded the game’s reach even further. Switch fans playing the newest Zelda game are still enjoying Link’s journey through a tainted Hyrule and gaining a robust education in physics in the process.

Fortnite fans want to show their love for one of the best FPS games currently available, and these awesome accessories let them do just that!

The aesthetic of Hyrule is similar to Nordic and ancient Germanic motifs, but Hylian decor is in a league of its own. It can look great in a gaming space thanks to the prevalence of dark and metal pieces, two elements already found in spades among gaming peripherals. For players who are completely obsessed with Link, Zelda, and all things Hyrule, creating a Legend of Zelda-inspired room for gamers is the perfect project to start the summer with.

How We Choose Zelda-Themed Accessories

It’s pretty subjective to choose Zelda-themed Switch accessories and other The Legend of Zelda merchandise, but some things are obviously garbage and shouldn’t be purchased. Sifting through listings on Amazon can be a challenge, especially if a person isn’t quite sure what kind of merchandise they want or what exactly is available. Our list of Zelda-themed accessories was chosen by weighing three factors:

• Usefulness: Not every piece of merchandise needs to have a purpose, but if a Legend of Zelda-themed accessory can double as a gaming headset or a pro controller, that’s definitely a bonus. The more useful an item is, the more value it offers players; it’s as simple as that.
• Design: Anyone can slap a big “Z” on something and call it Zelda-themed, but the really great merchandise looks like something ripped right out of Hyrule. The overall design and style of accessories should be accurate to the series, be visible to users, and avoid defects like misaligned patterns.
• Cost: While branded items almost always have a bit of an upcharge compared to the standard, that doesn’t mean extremely expensive items are worth it. For example, Zelda Switch accessories tend to be 50-100% more expensive than the base models, while less useful merchandise is typically inflated by only 10-30%, like the Korok Mocchi-Mocchi plush. Usually, only rare items should cost more than double the price of the non-Zelda alternative.

Korok Plush

Koroks have appeared in multiple Zelda games, most notably hiding in plain sight or asking players to help them as they navigate the world. Their unusual design is similar to other depictions of Japanese forest spirits, or kodama, like those found in Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke. These characters have endeared themselves to players with their unique styles, cute voices, and a helplessness that most adventurers simply can't ignore.

This Korok is a stout little guy, with a vibrant green leaf as its mask and distinctive stripes along its tan body. Whether it’s on a gaming chair or next to players on the couch, this adorable Korok plush should be kept close by! This small plush features an ultra-soft exterior that feels like microfiber and is filled with squishy stuffing that bounces right back even after hours of use. Overall, it feels very much like an official Squishmallow plush, even though it comes from a different manufacturer. Regardless, this Korok plush is perfect as both a comfortable pillow and a cute accessory.

This rug looks amazing and could make an excellent addition to basically any room. Plus, it also has a ton of practical features. First and foremost, this rug is machine washable, meaning no worries (or at least fewer worries) over spilled soda, dropped pizza, or any other accidents that normally spell doom for area rugs. Secondly, the rug comes with a nonslip back sole that ensures it won’t move erroneously, making it ideal for underneath gaming chairs. The rug is hypoallergenic, anti-static, and anti-fading. It simply has a high-quality design that’s elegant enough to avoid being a home decor eyesore.
