Hasbro-Nintendo Partnership Puts MTG One Step Closer to a Legend of Zelda Collaboration
Draftsim • • technology
Key Points:
- Hasbro has partnered with Nintendo to license the Legend of Zelda franchise, with products set to launch starting in 2027, including figurines revealed at San Diego Comic Con.
- While no Magic: The Gathering (MTG) crossover is confirmed, a collaboration is likely given Hasbro's success with the Universes Beyond initiative and strong fan demand for a Zelda x MTG set.
- Development for full Universes Beyond sets can take up to four years, suggesting a potential Zelda MTG set might not appear until 2029-2030, though a quicker Secret Lair drop is possible.
- The partnership could pave the way for future Nintendo crossovers with MTG, potentially including franchises like Pokémon, Mario, and Metroid, expanding Hasbro's collaboration with Nintendo.
- A Zelda MTG set could explore multiple timelines and versions of characters through distinct Commander preconstructed decks, allowing for diverse and creative representation of the franchise's rich lore.
