No argument here! I hope they make more smaller sets, but they must see Zelda as more like Lord of the Rings for now? Maybe once the movie comes out we’ll get a line of playsets scale sets. (I doubt they’d be based on the movie since LEGO did nothing for the Mario movie, but maybe that’ll be be justification for making non 18+ sets?) Agreed there is so much potential. And since I’ve played almost all the games, I’m only biased in that I want sets of them all! But while I’d love to see Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, or Twilight Princess get sets, my guess is they’ll stick to Ocarina and Breath of the Wild for now to get both classic and modern fans at once. If we don’t get Ganondorf, I hope we at least get a minifigure enemy next time around. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted April 1 Posted April 1 I know what day it is, but there‘s allegedly another Zelda D2C set early next year with the number 77093 Quote

The thing with Lord of the Rings is that kids don't seem particularly interested (or as interested as adults at least). I would think that kids would be very interested in Zelda play sets though. My kids certainly are. Quote

Both Fateful_04 and TandNBricks are saying it, now with a set number and early next year. Supposedly D2C, so not a playset. ^ All with a grain of salt of course. Wish we had more details, but the wait for the Deku Tree was also agonizing since we had pictures leak so early. Quote

If we do get playsets in synergy with the movie, I hope they're not based directly on the movie. I would love to see some Zelda sets based on vibes and recurring elements rather than specific game-accurate scenes (as if the LEGO version were its own game, which it kinda would be!), but I worry that giving the movie a bunch of specific merch would imply that it was the "real" LoZ.

Kaijumeister Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Gosh I hope this set is based on Tears of the Kingdom. I need minifigures from that game! I really hope it’s not a buildable object. It is sad to see Lego continue to lock Zelda behind large and pricey sets though. It’s certainly not a theme with predominantly adult fans the way LotR is. Quote
Meaf Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I really wonder what it'll be based on, feels like there's just so many directions they could go that it's kind of impossible to predict. I guess if we're just going by sales, the most popular games they haven't covered already are Tears of the Kingdom and Twilight Princess, so maybe one of those? Tears of the Kingdom sold around double what Twilight Princess did but its fanbase overlaps more with Breath of the Wild so I could see it going either way if it was down to one of those, and they could always do a 2-in-1 again (or maybe a 3-in-1, who knows). Personally I'd love if it's another Ocarina of Time set since there are so many important characters I'd love minifigures of, but honestly I'll take just about anything if its based on a mainline game (and somehow I doubt it will be inspired by the CD-i games ). I am a bit disappointed at the release timing though. Didn't think it'd take that long to get another Zelda set, but I suppose that just gives me more time to save for it. Quote
FinlayTheFaithful Posted April 10 Posted April 10 New Fortnite minifigures leaked on reddit recently, I'll personally pass on them until we get a more detailed look Quote
Lyichir Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Not news about actual sets, but the other day I saw this awesome design someone came up with for a Splatoon minifigure, that really feels like what a Lego Splatoon theme's figures could be like. I'd sort of prefer if the weapons had attachments for bars (so you could use energy effect sorts of pieces as an ink spray), but otherwise the design seems to nail the perfect sort of balance between simplicity and detail. https://bsky.app/profile/bezbzns.bsky.social/post/3l6s7p4ecex2z Quote

I just hope it's a minifig scaled display set. Either of those two games would be great they've got some of the best character designs of the series. Talking about character designs, we've not had the 2026 CMFs confirmed yet so I'm gonna keep hoping they do a Zelda one at some point next year, at very least I hope they don't waste a CMF slot on twelve recolours of the same damn car. My ideal set would probably be a TotK stable, if they Riverside stable they could have a great fairy fountain sidebuild and maybe a tiny little cave with a bubblefrog and Koltin ( though both of those would make for good smaller sets if TLG was so averse, Kilton's shop would be a good one too). Of course it would feel weird for them to make characters like Mastro, Penn and Beedle before any kind of Ganon/Ganondorf but I feel like a hyrule castle would be too big and the the stable is a better representation of the moment to moment to moment gameplay in TotK ( Zonai contraption sidebuild?). Perhaps Hyrule castle would make more sense as a twilight princess set, with Wolf link ( with Midna), Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Zant and the Hero's shade. Ultimately there's some many different directions they could take this theme. I'd like an array of smaller sets like a TotK/Botw Boko camp, king of red lions boat, a Guardian, loftwing or a brick brick blue piggy Ganon maybe echos of wisdom with Zelda and Tri. Maybe they'll release a full wave alongside the next big 3D main line Zelda game? Probably not. I saw Octane Thermoplastic's Zelda builds in Newport the other weekend ( definitely the highlight of the show which was otherwise a pretty bad ratio of shops to builds, but I digress) and it just shows how much potential the theme has.

I dunno, if they're gonna cost this much then they I couldn't keep up if they pumped them out too fast! I bought the Deku later than I'd initially planned because they price didn't sit right with me for the size of what you're getting, I know part of that is due to the 2 in one nature of it but nevertheless as someone who probably buys Ninjago the most out of all the themes, I balked somewhat at the price ( and for that price they should have included a spare master Sword and Hylian shield so you have more options with your Links).

A Zelda CMF would be so great! But I think it would work best alongside a full theme, where we could get important characters in playsets/display sets and fill out the cast from the CMF. It would take some deft design to portray some of those characters, though, when they go really exaggerated with the designs. 2. My ideal Zelda theme includes both display sets based on scenes and places and items from specific games--your King of Red Lions, your BotW/TotK Stable, your Skyloft Goddess statue--and playsets based more on recurring concepts and elements from across the franchise, than specific locations from individual games. 3. I follow octane thermoplastic on YouTube! We're kind of buddies at this point, since I comment on all his videos and I've submitted a couple mini-builds to fan celebration projects he's done. Quote

I've already noticed Minifigure madness, a big seller of sealed CMF cases, doing clearance sales on those dumb little cars. So dumb they took a CMF slot - if they were a side thing like Mario, than fine, but they seem to already be selling terribly. I'd love to get Zelda or Animal Crossing CMFs, though. Quote

ReversibleSedgewick Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I guess with that One Piece boat doing well as pre-orders, and a rumoured Pirates of the Carribean ship coming, the chances of Zelda's return being something Wind Waker related are essentially zero, aren't they? It's a shame, the Wind Waker-adjacent games have probably the most adaptable vehicles/play sets. Still hoping that the Bowser train is a dry run for a Spirit Tracks Spirit Train! Quote

If One Piece didn't preclude Pirates of the Caribbean (or vice-versa), I don't see why the two of them combined would preclude Wind Waker—especially since the smaller King of Red Lions is arguably a more iconic, set-worthy subject for that game than any of the larger pirate ships, meaning even less overlap with those other two themes' sets. That said, I'm not sure how likely Wind Waker (or Spirit Tracks even moreso) is to get a tribute set yet, at least with the current pattern of releasing sets one at a time. They're not exactly the latest/most timely Zelda games to base something on, and I'd sooner expect Lego to take a small step from the previous Zelda set with something based Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild again (or maybe at most, their associated sequels Majora's Mask or Tears of the Kingdom) than to dive right into Wind Waker and its sequels. Then again, next year (when the next Zelda set is rumored to come out) IS the 25th anniversary of Wind Waker, so maybe they will surprise me and base a set on that to tie in with the anniversary!

I think the bigger issue for WW is that Lego might just be worried it's not as popular as some of the other games? It's definitely not as popular as OoT, TP, BotW, or TotK just going by sales data, and it's only ever been on Nintendo's two worst selling consoles (aside from the Switch 2 release, but not a lot of people have one of those yet, and most people probably aren't getting one just for Wind Waker). I definitely wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility, but I just think they might prefer to cover some of the other games before it. Quote
Portal Out Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Honestly I feel like Wind Waker has been one of the more heavily merchandised Zelda games in recent years. Like I barely see any Twilight Princess merch and certainly never see any Skyward Sword stuff, but just about every game stop I’ve been to has tons of toon Link plushies those World of Nintendo play sets. If/when we get another set, I still feel like getting something else from Oot or BotW is the most likely, but I wouldn’t rule Wind Waker out. I do wonder if Nintendo has given Lego any info on what the next Zelda is though. Probably not seeing as Lego leaked their big collab over a year early, but still interesting to speculate about.

We already know another Zelda set is coming in early 2026, and we have a set number for it: 77093. Assuming that leak was correct, then the set is well into development at this point. Heck, as far in advance as we got work of the next Animal Crossing wave and the Gameboy, there's a chance we could know exactly what it is sometime in the next few months. There's even a small chance something could leak out, based on the animal hat molds and the Cobb Vanth helmet that don't even have definitive sets tied to them yet. Quote
Karalora Posted June 25 Posted June 25 At the rate things are going, there's also a decent chance we get sets tying into the live-action movie that's set to release in 2027. Quote

I hadn't even considered that but yeah that's actually very possible. The Mario Movie didn't get any so I don't think it's guaranteed, though Minecraft did get some and that theme is a little closer to Zelda insofar as that it already gets minifigure playsets (whereas Nintendo and Lego may have felt that Mario Movie minifigure-scale sets would clash with the existing line of Mario sets). The Minecraft Movie only got two sets, but I guess we don't know enough about the Zelda movie to say how much would be needed to cover the main bases. Honestly it would be a little disappointing if they did Zelda movie sets before covering most of the games, but if the character and location designs are faithful to the games then I guess it's not a huge deal.

BrickBob Studpants Posted June 25 Posted June 25 (edited) I just want more Zelda sets, doesn‘t even matter which games they’re based on as I‘ve enjoyed every single one I‘ve played! It should become an entire theme tho rather than just a series of D2C sets. Edited June 25 by BrickBob Studpants Quote
Agent Kallus Posted June 25 Posted June 25 I'm personally hoping for a TotK (or BotW) stable as the unknown next set. Quote

I kind of feel like the entire Mario theme has been a years-long lead-up and then tie-in to the Mario movie and inclusion at Universal theme parks. The movie was the biggest boost to Mario's visibility probably since the release of the Nintendo 64 console. In that regard, any Zelda sets, including the one we have and the one we are presumably getting next year, could be considered tie-ins. Quote
TeriXeri Posted July 12 Posted July 12 (edited) With Switch 2, being out, they'll probably open the way to more tie-ins, especially when more actual new games are announced / released. I also do hope LEGO will make some proper game themselves again, as LEGO fortnite building just isn't the same, and their vehicle system honestly is incredibly bugged since launch and still is. And LEGO Worlds is outdated. Edited July 12 by TeriXeri Quote
Meaf Posted Sunday at 06:16 PM Posted Sunday at 06:16 PM Not sure how likely this is, but I wonder if the upcoming Donkey Kong movie (which was revealed today via a copyright filing) might get some sort of tie in sets? I guess DK seems to be relegated to the Mario-style sets so far, but getting him having his own line would be cool and I think it'd make sense with how much Nintendo seems to be interested in pushing the character. He's already got a theme park land, his biggest game ever, and now a movie. A Lego theme just seems like it'd make sense at that point. Quote
