The Legend Is Back… Sort Of
In an unexpected plot twist, Nintendo dangled a tantalizing teaser of a Lego set revolving around The Legend of Zelda back in October. In an artistic display, a polymer replica of Link can be seen gazing up at a rather ominous shadow. Spoiler alert: it’s not a friendly cloud. Meanwhile, a less-focused Lego version of Zelda lurks in the background, likely pondering why she has to be the sidekick again. Oh, and let’s not forget Navi, the blue fairy providing a chorus of “Hey! Listen!”

A teaser that cryptically threw hints into the abyss only made earlier rumors from the notorious Lego leaker, known as Brick Tap, gain traction. September was the month when whispers about a Zelda-themed Lego set began to swirl, and now, after a dramatic cliffhanger, Brick Tap returned with a revealing reveal—cue the drumroll, please.
Welcome to The Final Battle: Ocarina of Time
The newly revealed set, affectionately dubbed The Final Battle: Ocarina of Time, depicts the climactic showdown from the classic Nintendo 64 epic where Link squares off against Ganon—yes, in his fabulous Gerudo form (also known as Ganondorf), and his true form: the ambitious, porcine powerhouse. Because nothing says “ultimate battle” quite like pitting a heroic elf against a giant pig.

Mark calendars for March 1, because this beauty is set to hit the shelves at the wallet-sinking price of $129.99 or £99.99, depending on your currency of choice. What does that get? A whopping 1,003 pieces packed with heroism, heartbreak, and reusable plastic. Inside the box, expect to find the brave trio: Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf, plus, of course, the invaluable Navi. But wait! There’s also a brick-built Ganon and more recovery hearts than any hero could ever need—because who isn’t tired of falling off cliffs, right?

Like the much-loved Great Deku Tree set released last September, this Final Battle set isn’t just a one-trick pony. It can proudly display Link either standing tall against Ganondorf or in mid-fight with the more rotund Ganon. Who knew battling evil could be so versatile?
Brick by Brick: A Partnership for the Ages
Lego and Nintendo have become the ultimate power couple in the toy world over the years, unveiling sets based on everything from Super Mario to Animal Crossing. Is there anything left in the Nintendo universe that isn’t made of tiny bricks? Perhaps a Lego Luigi? The world waits with bated breath.
A Nostalgic Blast from the Past
In a nostalgic nod to the past, last year saw the arrival of a Lego version of the classic Game Boy, which came in second place to the earlier Lego NES set launched in 2020. With its brick-built model and retro TV showcasing a scrolling Super Mario Bros scene, it’s the perfect way to relive childhood adventures without accidentally stepping on a piece in the dark.
Pika-Pika! More LEGO Adventures Await
As if that wasn’t enough to tickle the fancy of collectors and gamers alike, Lego recently announced its initial foray into Pokémon sets. Yes, so for a mere $650, fans can bask in the glory of a statue featuring Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. Carry on, Lego, for challenging the boundaries of affordability!
So, for those prepared to add a hero’s quest to their collection, stay tuned. It seems that the adventure is just beginning, one brick at a time!
