New Lego Zelda Leaks, Depicting The Final Battle From Ocarina Of Time

1 week ago 5

Following on from 2024’s original Lego Zelda build, the Great Deku Tree, leaks have revealed the forthcoming follow-up, a set called The Final Battle: Ocarina of Time, due to release at the beginning of March.

This repeats the pattern, given the original collab between Lego and Link leaked in 2023, and then was pretty much confirmed as real by Nintendo rapidly firing off copyright taken notices. It’ll be interesting to see if the Japanese giant attempts the same pointless endeavor this time, or whether the fact that the new set is due in less than a couple of months means it’ll have to sense to consider this the beginning of its promotional campaign.

Posted to Reddit’s dedicated forum for such matters, /Legoleak, user BrickTap shared two images to that my eye look like they’re from a fairly clumsily put-together internal slideshow. The images reveal the build number, title, release date and pricing.

So for $129.99 (considerably less than the Great Deku, which was $300), the 1003-piece set features the climactic battle of Ocarina of Time, with Link, Zelda and Ganondorf minifigs, as well as a brick-built enormous Ganon, dual-wielding mighty swords. Also featuring are a Triforce, Megaton Hammer, and even some recovery hearts should Link’s fight meet complications.

The second image reveals a hidden secret in the first, what looks like a ruined piece of castle opening up to reveal minifig Ganondorf’s throne.

I do think it looks a little paltry. Less than half the brick count (hence less than half the price) of the previous Zelda build, this really does seem to be primarily about constructing a large Ganon, the rest of the scene really rather underwhelming. It’s primarily a flat base with a couple of bits of broken castle poking out, shown rather starkly with the second image’s removal of Ganon from the scene, and really seeming to lack in fun extra details or interesting terrain. I do like how Link is leaping, but the brown/gray dirge of the majority of the diorama seems a shame. Forgivable maybe at $60, but a hard sell at $130.

If the details are correct, the set will go on sale March 1.
