In recent years, the LEGO Ideas program has given fans the tools to come up with and pitch beautiful concepts using the building block format. While a number of sets have been released as a result, Zelda fans have been unsuccessful in their attempts to file a petition based on Nintendo’s Zelda franchise. However, that didn’t stop user Artem Biziaev from sharing their take on a great Hyrule Castle set! Specifically based on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the castle would consist of 2,600 pieces and contain mini figures of Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, a Stalfos, a member of the Royal Guard and Anju.
An image of the castle can be found below, and more images can be found on the LEGO Ideas page here.
What’s interesting about this set is how much effort has gone into the heart of it Ocarina of Time. From the Temple of Time to the recording of four Heart Pieces, there is an incredible amount of attention to detail. If this set got the green light from LEGO and Nintendo it’s safe to say it would become a must-have for Zelda fans!
While previous Zelda sets have been pitched through LEGO Ideas before, it’s worth noting that the odds are a bit higher this time around. After all, in 2020 a series of Super Mario sets from the company were released, as well as a LEGO version of the Nintendo Entertainment System. While the figures in the LEGO Mario line haven’t followed the classic Minifig format, it’s entirely possible that a Zelda set would follow something more traditional.
For those unfamiliar with the LEGO Ideas program, fans can sign a petition to show LEGO that there is an interest in purchasing the concept that has been shared. As concepts reach greater milestones, users are given more time to attract signatures. At the time of writing, the Hyrule Castle project idea has 602 days left and 1,390 supporters. It takes a lot more to get LEGO’s attention, so Zelda fans who want the set to blossom will want to show the project some love!
