We love The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but that doesn't mean it's a game well suited to every bit of merchandise that marketers can dream up. It's now the subject of a pricey and limited edition leather jacket; its beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder.
Produced by Musterbrand, this €369.00 jacket will only have a run of 300 pieces. You can see some pictures and official blurb below.
The Breath of the Wild limited Leather Jacket is the ultimate armor for the Hyrule adventurer. Made of an exquisite, soft-to-the-touch lamb leather, the jacket is contoured for a comfortable fit. The cross details along the arms and chest translate Hyrule's style into contemporary fashion, while the symbol of the Sheikah embroidered on the back signals your journey to other watchful adventurers. Inside hides a photorealistic, full-color art print of the hero himself.
This writer's opinion is that this jacket screams of mid-life crisis, but that's just one viewpoint!
Would you spend a lot of rupees on this jacket?

Wow. What's the point in the lining if no one sees it when you're wearing it hahaha
More money than sense whoever buys this.
Tempting given I've been dumped, my dogs about to die and I've seen some stuff I really wanna unsee.
Is 21 good for a mid-life crisis?
Yeah, if it was somehow reverseable then I would fully embrace the crisis since I'm right there at that age but nope!
@BLP_Software Try again in another 20 years at least!
No. I love Zelda but no and most of the Zelda reference is hidden away on the inside where people can't see it.
Pricetag: Pass.
Leather: Double Pass.
No thanks.
..I guess it looks nice at least.
@Spoony_Tech Hey, after my week I feel 41. Even playing games aint cheering me up
Sure right, mid-life crisis
I just got the email notice for this. I have a few of Musterbrand's coats but I'll pass on this one.
@BLP_Software I hope things improve.
@Ryu_Niiyama Ill have a takeaway instead of a new jacket XD
I'm sure that'll go great with someone's 90's corvette!
This will look good with the Bokoblin Mask and Barbarian Straps I just bought.
Ugly
I feel gross...I just put in my order for one. My rational is that I'm a collector, I can absolutely see this gaining value going forward (especially considering that very meager production run. I've only got one other thing in my collection with that few made), they have a 30 day return policy so I can kind of sit on it and see how I feel after it's actually in my hands. I still feel kind of gross though lol
Does anybody know that this is officially licensed? I would imagine so since nintendo's lawyer ninjas would have shut this down real quick but I'm just making sure!
Is that a joke? I hope it's a poor attempt at one.

Great lining ruined by a horrible exterior. Not sure why anyone would want to pay that much to drape themselves in the skin of dead lambs.
It looks like something Brian Altano would wear...
Hey, check me out, I'm so awesome in my slick, tailored leather jacket....let me just take off my luxurious, stylin', happnin' threads and hang them up here....hey look a full color mural of an elf inside!
That's not mid-life crisis, that's stealth nerding right there.
Sure, if I could rock it inside out Fresh Prince of Bel Air style.
Crisis alright.
T-shirts or hoodies with say, the hylian crest on front/back are ok and reasonably priced. I wouldn't by this jacket. Far too expensive.
Isn't there a Seinfeld episode about this jacket?
The jacket itself isn't ugly imo, but that lining is ugly as hell. Video games and leather jackets don't go hand in hand.
@BLP_Software hey, if 21 is a midlife crisis, im screwed at 38!lol. sorry to hear youre going through a rough time, mate.
@Luna_110 the only 'gaming' related jacket ive seen looking great is Leon Kennedy's from Resi.
@SUBTERRANEANguy Well its a midlife crisis if I live to 42 right
@NEStalgia That is what I love about their clothes. You can stealth nerd all day. I have a WOW coat (I don't even like WoW but I do like Warcraft so I figure it counts) that I wear in the winter and I always get compliments.

....of course now I live in the desert so....um, heh.
Fugly.... Why oh why would this be made?
@Ryu_Niiyama That ones a lot more subtle than a full mural when you take it off though. They might have over done it just a teensy bit this time Same with warcraft for me.....not a WoW fan. Tides of Darkness forever!
Well, it gets cold at night in the desert, right? I mean if you're wearing a BotW coat in the desert, you're going to need that warm doublet after dark unless you make a camp fire?
I'm 46.
I'm very content in my life. So content Zen comes to me for advice on how to live well.
I want that jacket.
Well, I'm 50, but I'd take a Shelby Cobra instead.
Yep. I'd buy the hell out of this, but then I am 42, single & having a mid-life crisis!
@Tenacious-P Tenacious, I'm afraid being single disqualifies you from having a mid-life crisis.
@BLP_Software Yes, and always is time for mid life crisis.
Tear out the lining and frame it.
What if I'm 25 and have two leather jackets! Am I having some kind of quarter life crisis? Love myself some leather jacket
"This writer's opinion is that this jacket screams of mid-life crisis"
Yes. Exactly. Somebody get me one asap!
For that price it should at least come with the game.
Subtle as a big metal box in the face.
Well the big orange Cheeto is probably going to start a nuclear war so you might as well be prepared for the post-apocalyptic, Mad Max-style hellscape that is fast approaching, amirite?
I own the Deus Ex Rider jacket from Musterbrand and it's a very nice piece of clothing, definitely worth the price.
I wouldn't buy this because it's a little too high priced for a jacket and I think it's ugly.
@bboy2970 All of MB's previous collections (which they have MANY of) are officially licensed, so I'd assume this is too.
I woudn't by it I dont like real leather items, I dont like how the jacket looks done up and it is way too expensive for a not so fantastic LOZ Item
@BLP_Software I'm 22, and every day is a mid life crisis.
I love that jacket, taking out my credit card now.
Perfect for my mid life crisis!
Mid life crisis? What an wholly unjustified, narrow minded statement to make. If somebody likes it and wants to wear it, don't you have anything better to do than sneer at them?
Carry on trimming your ironic beard and wearing what everyone else is wearing then. Don't want to get seperated from the herd now, do we?
@HappyMaskedGuy Yeah... I think it was meant as a joke. Maybe you couldn't see the tongue in his cheek through his ironic beard. People are awfully touchy about other people hurting someone elses feelings these days
@BLP_Software chin up pal, the good times will roll again im sure.
@SmithJurd Nah, I just can't be bothered with sneering little schoolchildren who place themselves above others in a misguided attempt to be funny.
I'm actually a pretty big fan of the right to offensive speech. But not if it's pointless bullying.
Overpriced, tacky, and bloated.
In other words, the most fitting piece of Breath merch out there.
