A gamer has created a unique Game Boy Advance made entirely out of LEGOs. The designer of the item posted a video of the building process, which showed the Game Boy being put together brick by brick.

The Retro Stash Repairs channel has similar videos; for example, one video shows the transformation of a Game Boy into a Sheikah Slate, a multipurpose tablet bearing the Crest of the Sheikah, which appears in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
