Just when you thought Hallmark’s 2025 Christmas ornament lineup couldn’t get any better, it pulls this out of its festive stockings.
Halo 3’s 2025 ornament is certainly fantastic, and another immensely popular decoration from Hallmark.
But, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom “Decayed Master Sword” ornament just might take its place as a frontrunner on many of our trees this year.

Releasing on the same day as many of the other new ornaments, October 20, the Zelda ornament is up for preorder now and costs $31.99.
That’s a tiny bit more expensive than some of the other new ornaments available, such as the Halo 3 Master Chief, or that Xbox 360 which plays the Halo theme, but still well worth considering for gamers who love to get festive.
The increased cost may be down to the material used and its larger size, as it’s a metal ornament with a hanger attachment that makes it stable when hanging on the tree. Size-wise, it comes in at approximately 5.5in height, 2.25in width, and 0.75in depth.

The Master Sword isn’t the only Nintendo-themed ornament going this year either, with the dedicated Hallmark Nintendo collection expanded earlier this year.
That included a handful of great new additions like Link, Elephant Mario from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Venusaur, and an adorable Winter-themed Rowlet.
These don’t light up or make sound like the Star Wars holo-chess diorama, so the prices are much more tolerable.
