Nintendo's legendary franchise, The Legend of Zelda, is set to receive another brick-built tribute, as Lego unveils a detailed diorama capturing the climactic finale of the iconic Ocarina of Time. This announcement follows closely on the heels of new Pokémon sets, proving Nintendo's classic games remain a prime focus for the construction toy giant.
A Brick-Built Homage to a Gaming Masterpiece
Launching on March 1, 2026, and available for pre-order from today, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time – The Final Battle set immortalises one of gaming's most celebrated moments. The set, comprising 1,003 pieces, recreates the ruined castle tower where Link confronts Ganondorf, who then transforms into the monstrous beast Ganon, with Princess Zelda providing crucial aid.
This marks only the second Zelda-themed Lego offering, following the premium Great Deku Tree set. Priced at £99.99, this new diorama is positioned as a more accessible option, costing significantly less than its predecessor and even undercutting the new Pikachu set.
What's Inside the Box?
The set is packed with details faithful to the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic. The centrepiece is a crumbling tower with rubble, under which recovery hearts can be found. An interactive feature allows builders to press a button, making Ganondorf rise up for his dramatic transformation.
The minifigure selection is a major draw for fans. It includes the first-ever Lego Ganondorf and a Princess Zelda figure based on her classic Ocarina of Time design, unlike the Breath of the Wild version from the earlier set. Link comes equipped with his iconic arsenal: the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and the Megaton Hammer, plus his fairy companion Navi.
The highlight, however, is the large buildable Ganon figure, complete with two massive swords and, in a clever nod to gameplay, a targetable weak point on his tail. The finished model measures 29cm wide, 18cm deep, and 17cm high.
The Evolution of Game Merchandise
The release coincides with The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary next month, highlighting how far video game merchandise has come. In the franchise's early days, a poorly received cartoon was a rarity; now, the ultimate accolade is a dedicated Lego set.
Lego has increasingly partnered with Nintendo, expanding beyond the interactive Super Mario line to include Animal Crossing, Pokémon, and now a deeper dive into Zelda lore. While fans continue to clamour for a modern remake of Ocarina of Time, there is no indication from Nintendo that such a project is linked to these brick-based tributes.
For collectors and gamers, this set offers a tangible piece of gaming history, celebrating a title that revolutionised 3D adventure and remains etched in the industry's memory.
