LEGO The Legend of Zelda may tread familiar territory in 2026

LEGO The Legend of Zelda's next set is teased to tread familiar territory next year, but with a different battle than proposed nearly 15 years ago.

A new LEGO The Legend of Zelda was just teased by Nintendo, coming next year, with the content of the teaser and its music strongly hinting at a recreation of the final battle from The Ocarina of Time. That's only speculation based on the teaser, but it's hard to imagine this teased build being anything else in these circumstances.

As much as The Legend of Zelda is no longer new territory for the LEGO Group after the launch of 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 in 2024, the Ocarina of Time game itself is somewhat familiar as well, thanks to LEGO Ideas.

Of the several not-approved projects based on the franchise from LEGO Ideas' lengthy history, one from mingles in 2011 (which will be 15 years old next year, when the teased set is released) is based on Ocarina of Time with minifigures the likes of which can be spotted in the teaser. Link's minifigure is reused from 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1, but the Zelda minifigure in the blurred background is new and similar to what mingles proposed over a decade ago.

Ganondorf is not teased or confirmed for the set, beyond some kind of Ganon figure specific to this fight towards the end of the teaser. Should there be a Ganondorf minifigure, though, it would be the third Ocarina of Time minifigure proposed by mingles finally realised in an official set. It's also worth noting that their submitted build is based on the first phase of the final fight, whereas the set appears to take inspiration from the second phase.

Whether the LEGO Group remembered this project or not during the design of this teased 2026 model, LEGO The Legend of Zelda is treading familiar territory next year, partially bringing one not-approved LEGO Ideas project to life after 15 years.

Stay tuned for any further updates on the 2026 The Legend of Zelda set. For now, 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 is still available, and it will qualify for a free Disney gift-with-purchase until the end of today.
