The Legend of Zelda may have moved on from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and a new puzzle game set should appeal to fans of both of those games. Is it too early to feel nostalgic for BOTW and TOTK? I'll let you decide. But the new brain-teaser series from The Legend of Zelda will at least scratch that Zelda itch until a new video game drops.
Despite being the series' 40th anniversary this year, 2026 hasn't seen an original Zelda game release. The closest thing might just be the Ocarina of Time remake coming out later this year, which is exciting on its own, but is still a remake of a game most of us have played already (more than once, if you played the 3DS remake too). We also have the movie coming out in 2027, but none of the upcoming releases seem to be focused on BOTW or TOTK.
While it's not new video game, there is at least a new puzzle game that fans of TOTK will enjoy. This is the Addison Sign brain teaser puzzle from Hanayama, which can be purchased from various retailers including Amazon. If you like that one, there are also puzzles featuring the Hylian Shield, Triforce, Master Sword, and more.
Solving all the Addison Sign puzzles in TOTK was a memorable distraction as Link used his Ultrahand ability to help Addison put up Hudson Construction signs all around Hyrule. Can you still hear the sounds the poor guy made when asking for help? I can. Anyway, this memorable side quest chain from Tears of the Kingdom is now available to try out in the real world.
NintendoDon't expect a walk in the part with this puzzle game, however. Each metal puzzle from Hanayama is rated on a scale of 1 to 6, with 6 providing the most difficult challenges. And you guessed it — The Legend of Zelda Addison Sign puzzle is rated a 6. Right now, you can purchase the Addison Sign puzzle game from a variety of retailers, including the U.S. Amazon store, where it's currently priced at $27.99.
If you enjoyed solving puzzles that helped Addison put up President Hudson signs all around Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom, or know someone who did, then this IRL metal puzzle set could make a perfect gift. It's nice to see Wilds-era games still getting some love in 2026, and we'll hopefully have a brand new Legend of Zelda game to get excited for in the coming months. In the meantime, the Ocarina of Time remake is still set to release later this year.
