Nintendo has introduced a limited-time My Nintendo reward to mark the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda series and the release of its highly anticipated remake, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The new pin set includes two commemorative pins—one bearing the official 40th-anniversary logo and the other featuring the iconic Ocarina of Time emblem—measuring 2″ W × 1.5″ H and 1.25″ W × 2″ H, respectively.
