LEGO Game Boy: Prepare to Rebuild Link's Awakening (Brick by Brick!)
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Rumours are swirling that the upcoming LEGO Game Boy set will feature Link's Awakening, potentially giving us a brick-based trip down memory lane. While it's not confirmed yet, the possibility is enough to get any nostalgic gamer reaching for their wallets (and maybe a few extra AA batteries).
Right, so the rumour mill's been churning, and it sounds like LEGO might be about to drop a nostalgia bomb bigger than a blue shell in Mario Kart. Word on the street (specifically, from lego_minecraft_goat – gotta love those insider nicknames!) is that the upcoming LEGO Game Boy set will feature none other than *The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening*. Fair dinkum, mate, that's a good shout.
Now, we already knew LEGO and Nintendo were thick as thieves, what with the Super Mario and Animal Crossing sets knocking about. But Link's Awakening? That's going straight for the heartstrings. Remember scrambling for batteries to keep that little green hero alive on your chunky grey Game Boy? This set could be the ultimate tribute.
Game Rant (cheers to them for spotting this!) points out that Link's Awakening was *the* game to have back in '93. Absolutely nailed it. The surfing mini-game alone was worth the price of admission. If this rumour's true, imagine rebuilding Koholint Island, block by block. Reckon you could handle the Owl statue?
Of course, we're still in 'take it with a grain of salt' territory. Leaks are leaks, and even the best tipsters can be wrong. LEGO's only officially confirmed the Game Boy set for an October 2025 release. That's a long wait, I know. Plenty of time for them to throw in a surprise Tetris cartridge... or maybe even a dodgy copy of Pokemon Red from a car boot sale! (Don't pretend you didn't!).
But let's be honest, a Link's Awakening LEGO set just *makes sense*. It's iconic, it's beloved, and it's ripe for the LEGO treatment. Plus, the rumour-mongers at Game Rant also mention whispers of more Super Mario sets and (eventually!) official LEGO Pokemon sets in 2026. So, Nintendo and LEGO are just getting started, it seems.
Personally, I'm hoping they'll include a tiny, brick-built Ocarina of Time. Imagine the possibilities! Or a miniature Majora's Mask. Okay, I'm getting carried away. But that's the beauty of LEGO, isn't it? It's all about the what-ifs.
So, keep your eyes peeled, fellow gamers. October 2025 might just be the month we all rediscover our inner child, one carefully placed brick at a time. And if it *is* Link's Awakening? Well, I'll be first in line to buy it. Bloody oath I will.
