LEGO is Going to Release One of Its Coolest Sets in 2026

by

Most of us have fond memories of LEGO, though what those memories are depend on when you were a kid. Whether you loved building the detailed sets based on movies and shows, or just creating whatever you imagined with loose bricks, LEGO has always been a fun hobby for people of all ages – even if it can get pricey. And LEGO fans, especially gamers, should be aware that a major new project is coming in 2026.

LEGO has been creating amazing sets for gamers lately, like the LEGO Game Boy and several Fortnite collections. They’ve even made interactive Mario sets where you can collect coins as you play. Minecraft has also been popular, with LEGO sets based on both the game and the movie. However, my favorite gaming LEGO set so far is the Deku Tree from The Legend of Zelda. And LEGO has an even more exciting gaming set planned for release in 2026!

LEGO Will Release a Second Legend of Zelda Set in 2026

LEGO recently gave fans a sneak peek at a new Legend of Zelda set with a short video that revealed some clues. Although LEGO hasn’t shared official information yet, we can make some educated guesses about what the set will include based on what we saw in the video.

We know a LEGO Legend of Zelda set is planned for 2026, but the exact release date is still unknown. LEGO often announces sets anywhere from shortly before they come out to almost a year beforehand. For example, the LEGO Game Boy was first shown in January and wasn’t available until October. While fans are hoping for an early 2026 release, it’s not certain. It’s likely we’ll see a first glimpse soon, followed by a full reveal later, and then the set will launch a few months after that.

The LEGO Legend of Zelda set appears to feature Link, accompanied by Navi, with a mysterious figure approaching. The design of Link’s clothing, sword, and shield strongly suggests this is the version of Link from The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time – a likely choice, given how popular that game is.

You can spot Zelda in the background, but she’s blurry and her features are hard to make out. Her shape suggests it’s the adult version of Zelda from Ocarina of Time.

However, that shadow is important because it hints that this LEGO Legend of Zelda set will include Ganondorf. Considering the shadow’s size and the likely complexity of the set, it probably depicts Ganon in his final form from Ocarina of Time. It could also be Ganon in his more commonly known Gerudo form, though.

The way the set is designed, almost like a miniature scene, makes me really hopeful about this new LEGO Legend of Zelda release, and it’s likely to be very popular in 2026. If it’s similar to the first Legend of Zelda LEGO set, fans should probably start putting money aside now, as the Deku Tree set from last year still costs $299.

This LEGO set is fantastic! You can choose to build a scene from either Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild. Depending on which game you pick, you get a different Link minifigure (two versions for Ocarina of Time) and a Zelda figure styled after Breath of the Wild. Even the Deku Tree changes its appearance to match the version you’re building. It’s a really impressive set and a great example of the exciting new collaboration between Nintendo and LEGO.

Now that the complicated and costly base set is out of the way, a second Legend of Zelda LEGO set might be more affordable. However, LEGO sets aren’t generally cheap, and sets aimed at adult collectors often cost more. Even with just a few key characters – Link, Zelda, and Ganon – this set could still be quite expensive. Ganon would likely be a very detailed and large build, similar to the soon-to-be-retired LEGO Bowser set which cost $269.99.

Okay, LEGO really grabbed me with what they’re planning for 2026! Honestly, this upcoming set is now at the top of my list for the entire year. I was worried the amazing Deku Tree set would be a unique, one-time thing, but I’m thrilled Nintendo and LEGO are continuing to team up – even if my bank account is already bracing for impact!
