The first official LEGO set has finally been revealed. There have been rumors that LEGO would be delving into the world of Hyrule for quite some time, with joining other well-known Nintendo IPs such as and , which have had their own LEGO ranges.

Nintendo shared the news in a post on X confirming that the set will be available on September 1, 2024, with a video providing a look at what to expect from LEGO's first product.

The set also comes with 4 minifigures to cover both eras, which are as follows:
