If you’ve already completed The Legend of Zelda and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (and the games in between) several times, you might be ready to take on another Zelda-themed task — but this time, you won’t have Link’s powers to help you.  

The new Legend of Zelda Hanayama Cast Metal Puzzles from University Games require skill, thought, and a passion for The Legend of Zelda. Hanayama of Japan creates detailed, cast 3D puzzles that you must disassemble and re-assemble. There are different levels of difficulty; a Level 1 puzzle should be easy, while a Level 6 puzzle will be difficult. 

There are three Legend of Zelda Hanayama brain teasers available, each featuring an item or emblem from Zelda lore. Fans will easily recognize the Master Sword, Triforce, and Hyrule Crest.

The Legend of Zelda Master Sword Hanayama brain teaser includes a 4.5-inch cast metal sword inspired by the one seen throughout the video games. Puzzlers must rise to the challenge and figure out how to remove the magic Master Sword from the stone pedestal — and how to put it back. This is a level 6 puzzle.

Zelda fans can also unlock and rebuild the Legend of Zelda Triforce Hanayama brain teaser. Also 4.5 inches, the cast metal puzzle looks like the ultimate source of power. After unlocking the pieces, you’ll find that the Triforce of Power, Triforce of Courage, and Triforce of Wisdom must be put back together. This puzzle is a level 5 challenge.

The final 4.5-inch puzzle in the collection, the Legend of Zelda Hyrule Crest Hanayama brain teaser, showcases the Royal Family Crest of Hyrule. You must untangle the chain and, of course, put it back together. This level 4 puzzle has the lowest difficulty rating of the three.  

These puzzles might seem difficult depending on their level, but once completed they will serve as a reminder of your valiant efforts. Remember: courage need not be remembered, for it is never forgotten! 

Legend of Zelda-lovers can find the puzzles for $26.99 each at the links below, areyougame.com, and at various Barnes & Noble locations.
