If you happen to be located in New York and are planning on heading out to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom midnight launch at the official Nintendo Store in the city, be on the lookout for these themed items.
Nintendo has revealed it will be offering a "long sleeve T-shirt" for $34.99 USD and a fancy-looking themed mug for $39.99 USD, exclusively at its NY store. Update: Another shirt has also been revealed, it will be available for $29.99 USD:
There's obviously a bunch of other stuff you'll be able to pick up while you're at the store. This includes the game, collector's edition, the new Link amiibo and more. Be sure to check out our pre-order guides.
And if you don't already have plans for the game's midnight launch, Nintendo Treehouse has announced it will be hosting a livestream featuring four segments of the new game. You can find out more in our previous stories:

I'd drink only the finest teas from that mug 🫠
Why a long sleeve t-shirt in the middle of May? And why is “long sleeve t-shirt” in quotation marks, like it’s some kind of strange, exotic thing? Are long sleeve t-shirts one of those US things that one would think are completely banal and common everywhere, but are actually unknown in the UK? Sort of like how you can’t find a decent sausage roll in the US, or habanero peppers in the UK.
@tektite_captain It's really a short-sleeved V-neck. "Long sleeved t-shirt" is a euphemism.
Who spends $40 on a mug?! I don’t care what context you’re in, that’s insane.
A fool and his money…
Nintendo raises the price of TOTK by ten dollars people freak out. Nintendo makes 38 dollars profit off a janky mug and people line up like lunatics.
@Brady1138 stupid amount of rupies with the exchange rate!!!
@tektite_captain likely because it is NYC and still gets cold there, especially at night.
@Poodlestargenerica
Well yeah, everybody knows a Mug is worth $40, while a game with 100+ hours of content isn’t worth $70.
It’s just common sense after all.
@blindsquarel That's true, I tried to pour coffee into Botw, and it just broke my switch.
@Poodlestargenerica Moare like Breath of the Mild...Guatemalan Brew.
I'm sorry bye
@Poodlestargenerica I imagine the Venn diagram of those two groups barely overlaps, if it does at all.
@Brady1138 People are allowed to spend their money the way they want. And if it doesn't sell (0 chance of that happening here) in the end the price will go down.
That t-shirt is such a strange fit. Lycra-tight on the chest but parachute pants loose on the arms.
That mug looks like it would be very hard to drink out of without making a mess.
@tektite_captain I think it’s long sleeve so that it can have the print on the right arm to simulate the look of Links messed up arm in the game.
$40 for a mug, which costs more than the t-shirt?! That's mental.
@blindsquarel common sense if you don't like it don't buy it.
On the side note, 15.9 GB is the Software size while update date is 317 according the the Manage Software page on the Switch. Version 1.1.0
What a Rip-off! 💩😝
@Brady1138 I bet they will be on ebay for almost $100 and people will still buy one.
I mean, it’s not really about the value of the cup/ mug, but the experience you associate it with. When you buy this, you will think about the experience of waiting for the game to come out, camping outside Nintendo NY (I would assume) waiting for the game to finally release.
@LastFootnote Very Likely, it's hard to argue that anyone who likes video games wouldn't be better off spending it on more games though.
That mug looks like it was made by Deneen Pottery. If that's the case, the photo likely doesn't do it justice. I have 2 mugs from Deneen, and they are handmade in the USA and extremely high quality!
@sanderev Not saying they’re not entitled to what they can spend their money on. It just a foolish choice if they do.
$40 for a small mug? WtF are nintendo thinking!
The shirt could have been so mush better if they used the actual color scheme!

@theModestMouse some of guys need to stop saying tears of the kingdom is dlc which is not.
Digging the mug. The arm on the long sleeve shirt is a nice touch.
@Brady1138 the same kind of fool that pays double for a game with a poster and art book in a fancy box!
@andyg1412 suppose so!
@theModestMouse serpentine pattern, serpentine pattern! Ahhhhhh!
@tektite_captain sir or mam pls stop yelling at the clouds XD
LOVE THE MUG..... Buuuuttttttt.... it's more expensive than the shirts? Yikes
