New LEGO Zelda Ganon Reveal as Part of 2-in-1 Set

Every LEGO set announcement, especially those inspired by beloved gaming franchises, is a danger to our finances. It only takes one reveal to put our wallets, bank accounts, and credit cards at serious risk – and the upcoming The Legend of Zelda set is perfectly poised to make us all go bankrupt.

First teased back in October, the set suggested it would be based on the epic final battle of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a revelation that basically broke the internet when first announced.

Now, our expectations are soaring even higher, since brand-new information has been revealed by The Lego Group, revealing the set's price, release date, and the iconic characters that will be featured in this brick-built masterpiece.

A 2-in-1 LEGO Tribute To A Nintendo 64 Classic

The brand-new Zelda set is titled The Final Battle: Ocarina of Time, confirming it is indeed based on the legendary showdown against Ganondorf at his castle. But there is a nice surprise: the set contains 1,003 pieces (!!!) in total, and it features an ambitious 2-in-1 design, offering at least two different configurations for fans to display as they wish.

And there are already a bunch of images that showcase these two distinct scenarios. The first shows the epic battle against Ganon’s beast form atop the castle ruins. The villain looks incredibly badass (and big, of course) in this form, captured in the moment just before Link delivers a strike (while jumping in his direction, which is quite curious to say the least).

Oh, and some notable details about this one include the crumbling architecture of the castle (even the fire in the background), and Princess Zelda appears, providing her crucial assistance in the middle of the battle, just like in the original scene.

As for the second scenario, it features Link facing off against the villain’s humanoid Gerudo form, Ganondorf, and it looks just as epic as the beast encounter. It seems that you can interact with the villain, making him disappear and reappear whenever you feel like. And Princess Zelda is also included in this one, right behind our Hero of Time, which is pretty nice.

Also, keep an eye out for the Navi minifigure floating in both scenes – she is absolutely adorable and a perfect addition to the set! You can check out all of the official images revealed by The Lego Group right below:

Last but not least, let's talk about pricing and release date. The Final Battle set is scheduled to launch on March 1st, priced at $129.99 / £99.99 — less than half of the Great Deku Tree set from 2024, by the way, since it is smaller. But hey, at least we have until March to save up some rupees before we have to mortgage the house to afford it! And you can already preorder the set on LEGO'S official website.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was originally launched in 1998 for Nintendo 64, and is widely considered a revolutionary landmark in video game history, since it served (and still serves) as a blueprint for 3D action-adventure games.

It is no wonder that the game was re-released with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for Nintendo 3DS in 2011 and is now being honored with multiple LEGO sets. It is a true masterpiece, which can now be displayed on our shelves in LEGO format once again.
