Forty years after the debut of The Legend of Zelda, fans were waiting for a strong signal. No sensational announcement from Nintendo, no new main game revealed for the moment, but an unexpected return of Ocarina of Time which risks attracting collectors.
On March 1, 2026, a new LEGO set inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be officially available. Entitled “The Final Battle”, this 1,003-piece kit features the legendary confrontation between Link, Zelda and Ganondorf. A release which coincides with the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the franchise.
Ocarina of Time joins Zelda’s 40th anniversary celebrations
Initially released on November 21, 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remains one of the most emblematic episodes of the saga. Developed and published by Nintendo, it left a lasting mark on the history of video games thanks to its transition to 3D and its innovative targeting system. In February 2026, the series celebrates its 40th anniversary. If Nintendo has not yet formalized a major new project on this specific date, derivative products are taking over to keep the event at the center of attention. The LEGO set “The Final Battle” is part of this dynamic. It offers a detailed reconstruction of the final battle of Ocarina of Time, a scene etched in the memory of players.
A 1,003-piece LEGO set focused on the fight against Ganondorf
Made up of 1,003 pieces, this new kit features Link and Zelda facing Ganondorf. The construction recreates the dramatic atmosphere of the final confrontation, with particular attention to detail. Available for pre-order now, the set costs around 130 US dollars. The delivery date is set for March 1, 2026. This is the first major release in the LEGO Zelda range since the “Large Deku Tree 2-in-1” set launched in 2024. This previous model marked the official arrival of the license in the LEGO universe.
Is Nintendo preparing a bigger announcement?
If this release rekindles the flame of fans, many are still hoping for a video game announcement from Nintendo. Historically, the company has not always revealed its major projects on the exact day of its license anniversaries. All eyes are now turning to the coming months, with some believing that a summer event could be an opportunity to learn more about the future of the franchise. For now, no official confirmation has been given regarding a new main game, a remake or a new project linked to Zelda.
A symbolic return for one of Nintendo’s most notable games
Ocarina of Time has profoundly influenced the design of modern action-adventure games. Its targeting system, dungeon structure, and narrative have served as a benchmark for years. Revisiting this episode through a LEGO set allows fans to celebrate this heritage in another form. Between collection, exhibition and construction, the “Final Battle” kit is aimed at both nostalgic fans and newcomers. Available from March 1, 2026, it constitutes for the moment the main official novelty linked to the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda.
