The Legend of Zelda Chess

The Legend of Zelda Chess is a fully themed chess set that brings the battle for Hyrule to the tabletop. Link and Ganondorf face off once more — this time across a classic chess board, with 32 custom-sculpted pieces representing the heroes and villains of the iconic series.

The gold Hero pieces are led by Link as King and Zelda as Queen, with Impa, Epona, Darunia, and Navi filling out the ranks. Opposing them, the black Villain pieces are commanded by Ganondorf as King and Twinrova as Queen, backed by Iron Knuckle, Phantom, Armos, and the Deku Scrub pawns. It's a beautifully crafted set that plays standard chess — and looks stunning on display when the battle is done.
