It was forty years ago this year that Nintendo released the very first The Legend of Zelda entry and what they, and many other players perhaps did not expect, was that the franchise would be just as popular today. Now marking over 20 core games, not including remakes, ports, and collections, The Legend of Zelda saga is still ongoing with its latest release, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, expected to launch later this year for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Praised for its ever-changing artstyles, vast open-world maps, head-scratching puzzles, memorable characters, and engaging narratives, The Legend of Zelda has earned its place as one of the most successful franchises of all time, so it is no wonder that companies are wanting to cash in on its popularity, especially as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations.
Now available to purchase are not one, but two brain-teaser puzzles inspired by The Legend of Zelda, with the first being the Legend of Zelda Triforce Hanayama Metal Brain Teaser for ages 12+. Created by Bepuzzled, this Zelda-inspired puzzle box will allow players to unlock the power of Hyrule thanks to “hours of stimulating entertainment with this Mensa-rated brainteaser, perfect for individuals seeking a mental challenge.” Not only that, but thanks to its eye-catching design, it could also serve as a collectible for the biggest Zelda fans.
The Triforce brain-teaser was crafted in the shape of Legend of Zelda’s ultimate source of power. It challenges you to unlock its golden power by carefully sliding its four interlocked pieces apart. When done, the Triforce of Power, the Triforce of Courage, and the Triforce of Wisdom will come apart smoothly. However, once you take it apart, you must put it back together to unite the powers. Use your wisdom and goodness to unite the Triforce once again.
However, if you should easily complete this puzzle, you could also check out The Legend of Zelda Addison’s Sign HUZZLE Puzzle Level 6 Brain Teaser Nintendo which also recreates a fan-favorite scene from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in its design. Unlike standard puzzle games, this one tasks the player with using the provided materials to make the sign stand on its own and balance perfectly without toppling over. If you prefer more hands-on puzzles, this is the one for you. Then, once you have completed the puzzle, you will also be able to display it in your collection.
These are just some examples of the puzzles that have taken their inspiration from The Legend of Zelda franchise, and with respectable price tags to boot, they would make the perfect gift for the biggest fans in your life.
