Priced at $39.99, the special edition of the board game will use Rupees as its currency and each block of properties will revolve around a different Zelda game, including Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Minish Cap, A Link Between Worlds, The Wind Waker, and Majora’s Mask.

Train stations have also been replaced with Zelda-themed methods of transportation, such as Epona, the King of Red Lions, Link’s Loftwing and the Spirit Trains, while houses and hotels have been renamed as Deku Sprouts and Deku Trees. Chance and Community Chest cards will also be known as Empty Bottles and Treasure Chests. Whether said chest cards will come in an actual chest that plays the classic Zelda treasure theme remains to be seen.
