Prepare to be intrigued—here's a revelation that might stir some debate! Recently, a leak has surfaced revealing a new Lego set inspired by the legendary game Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and it features some fascinating details that fans won't want to miss. But here's where it gets controversial—does this set truly do justice to the iconic final battle, or is it just a clever marketing ploy? Read on to discover everything we know so far.
The leaked images, originating from a trusted source known as Brick Tap, hint at a new Lego collection titled 'The Final Battle: Ocarina of Time.' This set aims to recreate the climactic showdown from the popular Nintendo game. On the packaging, Ganon, depicted as a robust and fierce pig-like creature, towers over Link, brandishing his menacing dual blades. Meanwhile, Link prepares to strike with his legendary Master Sword. Princess Zelda is also present, positioned to one side, raising a Lego beam of light from her hands, symbolizing her role in guiding the hero.
According to this leak, shared earlier on Reddit, the set will be composed of approximately 1,003 pieces and will retail in the UK for about £100. Besides the main characters—Link, Zelda, and Ganon—the set will also include a detailed Navi figure, the trusty fairy companion, as well as a brick-built depiction of Ganon himself, which many fans are finding quite striking in its design.
If this leak proves accurate, fans can expect additional accessories, such as the game's famous Megaton Hammer and a collection of recovery hearts, crucial items in the game that aid the hero on his journey. The anticipated release date is set for March 1st, meaning fans won't have to wait long to get their hands on it.
It's worth noting that Lego's collaboration with Nintendo extends beyond this Zelda set. Earlier this week, the two giants announced new Pokémon-themed Lego sets, featuring characters and items from the beloved franchise—like Pikachu with a Poké Ball, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Eevee. This move illustrates Lego’s growing partnership with Nintendo, bringing beloved gaming worlds into the physical realm.
Following the announcement, sites like eBay quickly saw a surge of activity, especially around the Lego Pokémon Kanto Region Badge Collection. This exclusive set was only available as a free gift for those who pre-ordered the most expensive set in the collection—featuring Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise—leading to hefty resale prices from scalpers, often exceeding £100.
So, do you think Lego’s Zelda and Pokémon initiatives are a perfect mashup of gaming and creativity, or are they just clever marketing stunts? Are these sets deserving of their hype, or are they overhyped collectibles? Share your thoughts below—it's a debate worth having!
