MTG Could Get Zelda Crossover as Hasbro Lands Nintendo Licensing

Hasbro announced a licensing deal with Nintendo to bring The Legend of Zelda into MTG's Universes Beyond, with potential Zelda products launching from 2027 and the possibility of a full MTG x Zelda set or Secret Lair drops; development cycles for UB sets can take up to four years, so a Zelda MTG release could arrive around 2029–2030, though some form (like a Secret Lair) could arrive sooner and would likely open doors to other Nintendo IPs if successful.
