The LEGO Legend of Zelda set has been excessive on my checklist of most anticipated units of 2026, proper alongside the flurry of Pokemon builds that are slated to release all year long. It didn’t matter the content material of the set, simply the truth that LEGO was making one other Zelda set after the unimaginable Deku 2-in-1 set was sufficient to get me excited.
However as new particulars have begun to floor concerning the Legend of Zelda LEGO set, that anticipation has grown and grown. Now, with the newest leak, it appears LEGO is delivering precisely what I hoped for, after which some.
The most recent LEGO leak claims that the Legend of Zelda set will probably be an Ocarina of Time diorama. There was hypothesis that this might be the case based mostly on the LEGO teaser that featured Hyperlink and Zelda of their OoT outfits, however nothing was official. Moreover, the assumption was that the set would function Ganon in his beast type based mostly on the shadow looming over Link in that very same teaser.
Now, if these leaks are true (they usually virtually all the time are), it looks like that’s precisely what we’re getting. This Legend of Zelda LEGO set will function a diorama centered on the ultimate battle with Ganon from Ocarina of Time, and, crucially, it can embrace minifigures of the important thing characters from the battle. I used to be involved that the LEGO set would solely embrace a Hyperlink and Zelda minifig and never a Ganon one, as an alternative selecting to have Beast Ganon (or no matter type he takes) be brick-built.
Fortunately, it appears like there will probably be each the brick-built Ganon and a Ganondorf mini-figure, which is a large win for this LEGO set. Not providing a Ganon minifig would have been an enormous missed alternative for the set, particularly for these MOC (my very own creation) creators on the market. Now, LEGO followers get to have their cake and eat it, too, so to talk.
The most recent Legend of Zelda LEGO leak additionally reveals that the set ought to launch on March 1, 2026, just a bit after the fortieth anniversary celebration is anticipated to kick off. Prior leaks had claimed that the set could be roughly 1,000 items (1,003 to be precise), and that appears to nonetheless be the case.
Provided that launch timeline, I anticipate that the Legend of Zelda LEGO set must be revealed any day now, if it hasn’t already been by the point you might be studying this. Whereas the modest 1,000-piece depend for the set suggests Ganon gained’t be as detailed because the LEGO Bowser set from just a few years again, it nonetheless must be a fairly spectacular show. I a lot want the decrease piece depend in order that the value level is a bit more approachable, particularly contemplating the Zelda Deku Tree set costs $250. I might see this set being someplace within the $150 vary.
2026 is going to be a huge year for LEGO and video games, beginning with the three Pokemon sets that are going to be released in February. Then this Zelda set in March retains the ball rolling, after which there are extra Pokemon units supposedly releasing later in the summertime, in addition to a brand new LEGO Batman sport on the best way. It might be a fairly mild yr so far as the outdated standbys are involved (Marvel, Harry Potter, Minecraft, and so on.), however online game followers are consuming good.
