First 4 Figures will release a life-sized decayed Master Sword statue from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in November 2026. The piece reproduces the corroded blade Link carries after the Gloom cracks open beneath Hyrule Castle. It combines a resin base with a detachable ABS blade and a metal handle.
Tears of the Kingdom followed Breath of the Wild as a system-seller for the Nintendo Switch. Both games remain among the platform’s best-selling titles years after their release. Nintendo has not said what comes after the Wilds era, though a remake of Ocarina of Time is also on the way. If First 4 Figures ships on schedule, this statue could reach collectors before that remake even launches. The two projects give Nintendo fans a rare stretch where an older era and a newer one arrive almost back to back.
What the decayed Master Sword statue includes
The design draws directly from the moment Ganondorf‘s resurrection shatters the Master Sword with Gloom. First 4 Figures describes the piece this way: “The Decayed Master Sword is a deteriorated form of the original weapon. Its decay stems from the Gloom beneath Hyrule Castle, which also severely weakened Link by draining his health and stamina and destroying his right arm.”
The statue depicts the blade standing upright. Dark energy spreads up from the base and wraps around the corroded sections of steel. The effect mirrors the scene where the sword shatters beneath Hyrule Castle. Each unit ships with limited-edition numbering and an authentication card, and the blade detaches from its base for display or storage. That detachable design also makes the piece easier to ship and pack away between displays.
Price and dimensions
The statue costs $519.99 and ships at life-size scale:
- Width: 10.4 in / 26.5 cm
- Depth: 10.4 in / 26.5 cm
- Height: 28.1 in / 71.3 cm
- Weight: 5 kg
That price sits in line with other pieces in the First 4 Figures catalog. The studio holds licenses for Spyro, Darkstalkers, Berserk, Banjo-Kazooie, Dark Souls, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Those existing lines give buyers a rough idea of build quality and paint finish before preorders open for this piece. Fans who already own statues from those series will recognize the same resin casting and hand-painted detail work on the Gloom effects here.
Tears of the Kingdom players are still active years after launch. A life-sized reproduction of the game’s most damaged weapon is likely to draw interest from collectors who skipped the game’s standard merchandise runs. First 4 Figures has not announced a preorder window beyond the November 2026 release target. Shoppers who want one will need to watch the company’s store for updates.
Nintendo itself has stayed quiet on the statue so far, which is typical for third-party licensed merchandise built around its properties rather than official first-party goods. First 4 Figures runs its own production and shipping pipeline separately from Nintendo’s storefronts. Past releases in its catalog have sold through limited runs rather than staying in stock indefinitely. Anyone planning to buy the sword outright, rather than waiting for a restock, will likely want to move once preorders open.
