Are you a fan of the Legend of Zelda series? Do you have too many rupees in your wallet? Well then, this news will be fantastic for you!



A specific online retailer has shown us an item posting revealing Zelda trading cards will be released in Australia on June 30th, 2016. This information was first teased at the New York Comic-Con in 2015, with a display saying it was coming in 2016 with trading cards, dog tags, collector tins, sleeves, and playmats.

What intrigues me is the mention of playmats. Does this mean the trading cards will be a trading card game? Or is it something completely unrelated to the trading cards entirely? There is no mention on either of the online posts regarding any sort of trading card game; however because it is a “Collector’s Fun Box”, it’ll most likely just be a collectors item and not a game.

Currently, there’s no mention of any North American release. I’d bet it’ll be released internationally on the same day, but that’s completely unconfirmed. The online retailer shows the trading card “Value Box” (shown above) can be preordered for $20, while a booster pack can be preordered for $6.

85 total cards in Base set including: Foil cards 23 regular cards 8 gold foil cards 12 decal stickers (1:2 packs) 9 tattoos

Does the base set indication mean there’s going to be more sets released in the future? This is the Zelda series’ 30th Anniversary, so I bet we can expect a lot of awesome releases this year like we were able to enjoy with the Year of Luigi in 2013.
