Legend of Zelda merch lottery announced for Japan

Nintendo is going absolutely crazy with Legend of Zelda-themed merch…in Japan, at least. We’ve already covered a big wave of items that will be sold via the My Nintendo Store in Japan, and now we’ve got a second wave that’ll be available through a special lottery.

Nintendo will be running a ‘Ichiban Kuji’ in Japan, which is basically a lottery for a chance to win various items. Those interested in entering the Legend of Zelda Ichiban Kuji will have to cough up 750 yen. Here’s the most important part of the Ichiban Kuji; winning it means you have the opportunity to buy these items, not get them for free. In other words, you’re paying to enter the lottery in hopes of paying again!

As you can see in the image above, there are all sorts of fun items included in this Legend of Zelda Ichiban Kuji. Fans will have the chance to purchase mugs, keychains, clocks, calendars and so much more. Hopefully Nintendo releases some of these items outside of the Ichiban Kuji, but only time will tell.
