Hard to believe it’s not even been a year since the launch ofTears of the Kingdom. So many of us got reacquainted with Hyrule last summer, and so much has happened in video games since that it feels like a lot more than a year has passed since the last Zelda game. Its creators have confirmed theBreath of the Wildsequel won’t be getting DLC and that the series will be moving on in the future, however, Uniqlo has provided those of us not ready to move on from Tears of the Kingdom with a new way to celebrate it.
The clothing store has revealeda new line of Tears of the Kingdom t-shirtscoming to its Japanese storefront (thanks,VGC). The collection includes six t-shirts, all officially licensed, and their designs inspired by the latest Zelda game. Each t-shirt is 1,500 yen ($10) and will be released in Japan later this month. Designs usually come to Uniqlo’s Japan store first before getting a Western release shortly after, so hopefully the wait for its Tears of the Kingdom collection to become available elsewhere won’t be a long one.
you may already take a look at all six designs in the images below. Two have pockets with hat tips to odd jobs Link is tasked with completing around Hyrule. One design has Koroks peeking out of the top of and from the side of the shirt’s breast pocket, and another has a signpost sticking out of the top. A reference to the sign guy you stumble upon throughout the game who rewards you for helping him make his signs stand up unsupported.
Other designs in Uniqlo’s collection include Link surrounded by the characters who help him in Tears of the Kingdom once you’ve unlocked their abilities, and also one that depicts the iconic moment in the game’s trailer as Link tries to grab Zelda while she’s falling through the air. Despite no new Zelda games on the horizon, the love for Tears of the Kingdom through new merch continues. Uniqlo’s collectionjoins a Figma Link figure, the accessories it comes with allowing you to create situations that make it look like Hyrule’s hero is ascending through household items like your countertops and coffee table.
Uniqlo has teamed up with a lot of video game publishers to create unique clothing lines.An Animal Crossing linehit its storefront in 2021, joining other officialNintendomerch released in the past.
