Nintendo Announces Lego Link and Epona Set for Zelda's 40th Anniversary
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Nintendo revealed a 1,750-piece Lego Link and Epona set arriving in spring 2027 as part of a massive celebration for the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda.
Nintendo celebrated four decades of adventure during its latest Direct broadcast by revealing a massive Ocarina of Time inspired Lego set featuring Link and Epona. According to details shared by IGN South Africa, the collectible display model clocks in at 1,750 pieces and is officially targeted at adult builders. While an exact release date is currently locked into spring 2027, the set sits right between previous Zelda releases in terms of scale.
Looking at pricing for past Nintendo Lego collaborations, fans can likely expect a substantial price tag. The 1,003 piece Final Battle set sits at $129.99, while the massive 2,500 piece Great Deku Tree reaches $299.99. Since the Link and Epona build bridges the gap in piece count at 1,750 components, the final cost will likely land comfortably in the middle of those two figures, though Nintendo has not yet confirmed the final retail price.
The Lego reveal formed just one piece of a massive anniversary blowout. Nintendo used the broadcast to detail a stacked lineup of celebrations for the franchise, including a Zelda themed Nintendo Switch 2, physical exhibits at the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, new amiibo figures, celebratory concert tours, and more. It is a massive year ahead for long time fans and digital collectors alike as the publisher pulls out all the stops for one of gaming's most storied properties.
