New LEGO Zelda Set Puts Link and Epona on Display for Franchise Anniversary
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Nintendo revealed a new Legend of Zelda LEGO set featuring Link and Epona during a recent anniversary Direct, expanding the franchise's physical collection alongside upcoming game releases.
Nintendo is pulling out all the stops for the fortieth anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, expanding the celebration beyond screens and into physical brick collections. Revealed during a recent Nintendo Direct, a brand-new LEGO set brings Link and his faithful steed Epona to life in a detailed diorama. Unlike standard minifigure releases, this piece depicts the legendary hero in a specialized non-minifigure form as he rides across Hyrule with the Master Sword drawn, capturing one of gaming's most enduring moments from Ocarina of Time.
This upcoming release marks the third official crossover between Nintendo and LEGO for the franchise, following previous collector favorites like the Great Deku Tree and the Final Battle set. While pricing, piece counts, and an official release date remain under wraps, the timing fits squarely into a massive wave of nostalgic content hitting the ecosystem this fall. Alongside the physical merch, Nintendo is rolling out a worldwide concert tour, new amiibo figures, and dedicated hardware variants for the upcoming Switch 2.
For players juggling cross-platform adventures and digital shelf space, physical collectibles like this continue to serve as high-value display pieces for community milestones. Even if the brick-built Epona misses the initial launch window of the Ocarina of Time remake this November, collectors will have plenty of ways to celebrate the series anniversary as the holiday season heats up.
