The Legend Of Zelda LEGO Set Leaks Online
From Minecraft to Horizon, Sonic to Mario, gaming LEGO sets are big business. We've even seen it go the other way with whole franchises of video games being based on LEGO versions of IPs like Batman and Star Wars. Still, there's scope for more.
While there's a toy box full of LEGO Mario sets, there are continued calls for Nintendo and the Danish brick company to join forces once again - giving another fan-favourite franchise a plastic and fantastic makeover. So, where are our LEGO Zelda sets?
LEGO Zelda Sets Appear Online

Over on the Eurobricks Forum, user JeanGreyForever claimed a Deku Tree LEGO set honouring The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is in production. Although it wasn't verified, the set reportedly contains 1920 pieces and costs around $250.
The OP says they were asked to take part in a paid survey and were shown a variety of mythical sets. Among them was the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time, as well as the Xavier Mansion from X-Men, Sauron's Barad-dûr fortress from The Lord of the Rings, and more.
Promobricks has now added some fuel to the fire, saying that it believes JeanGreyForever is telling the truth. If this is the case, the 2-in-1 Deku Tree set could let you build both an Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild-inspired set.
Images are floating around online that match the description, with two Link minifigs and a BotW Zelda, however, we suggest you take all of the above with a pinch of salt... for now.
Why Hasn't There Been A LEGO Zelda Set?
We previously reported how LEGO has banned suggestions for Zelda sets. At the time, we guessed it was because a rival company was planning a Zelda toy line, but said there were hopes it was from LEGO.
The images definitely look real, but with brick fanatics constantly putting forward their own suggestions for sets, it's possible this Deku Tree is a fan creation that someone is circulating for the clout. At the time of writing, no LEGO Zelda sets have been confirmed for 2023 or beyond.
Not that we're sick of building Bowser's Airship or a Luigi's Mansion set, but with Nintendo's franchise extending far beyond the Mushroom Kingdom, we think it's about time someone else got to make a few rupees out of LEGO.
