The Legend of Zelda saga is about to take a new form… in bricks. LEGO has officially confirmed the release of a new set dedicated to the famous Nintendo license for 2026. The announcement, brief but suggestive, was made via a short video broadcast on the brand’s official website. We discover a figurine of Link frozen in front of a blurred silhouette of Zelda, while a disturbing shadow approaches in the background.
At the end of the sequence, a simple message is displayed: “Building the legend”. Enough to arouse the curiosity of fans, even if no other information has been revealed to date concerning the precise content of the set, nor its price or its marketing date.
A growing LEGO-Nintendo collaboration
For several years, the collaboration between LEGO and Nintendo has been strengthening, with successful sets such as the interactive Super Mario levels, scenes from Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, or even faithful reproductions of the NES and the original Game Boy. In 2024, the Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set marked a first major foray into the Zelda universe, combining two iconic versions of the mythical tree.
With the announcement of this new set planned for 2026, speculation is rife. The short video could suggest an iconic scene to recreate, a final boss or a mythical location like the Temple of Time or Hyrule Castle. Nothing is confirmed, but the careful staging of the teaser gives hope for a set rich in details and faithful to the world of the game.
A promising schedule for Nintendo fans
This new Zelda set will arrive in full swing for LEGO and Nintendo. Indeed, 2026 coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise, which has already announced the arrival of dedicated sets next year. The year therefore promises to be rich for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese licenses.
It remains to be seen whether LEGO will continue on this path with other references to the Zelda universe, or if it will be a unique model. Until then, fans will have to be content with this first video and wait a few more months before discovering the first official images.
