Build an Unforgettable Scene from the Classic Video Game with LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Set
Today, the LEGO Group unveils the LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle (77093), a tribute to the climactic showdown from the beloved Nintendo game. This highly detailed LEGO set invites fans to recreate the epic battle between Link, Princess Zelda, and Ganon amid the ruins of Ganon’s Castle.
Comprised of 1,003 pieces, the set captures the drama and intensity of the final confrontation with a crumbling castle tower and rubble concealing three Recovery Hearts. At the push of a button, the ruins erupt as the lid mechanic bursts open and Ganondorf rises from the debris, ready for battle.
Builders can also display iconic items from the game, including the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Megaton Hammer, Zelda’s power, represented by waves of light.
Interactive elements enrich the build experience: reveal hidden treasures, raise Ganondorf, and engage with a brick-built figure of Ganon. The set also includes a transparent build representing the fairy Navi, along with fabric capes and weapons for the characters, enhancing both play and display possibilities.
This set includes three LEGO minifigures: Link, Princess Zelda, and Ganondorf, along with a large Ganon figure and Navi. Builders can enjoy the nostalgic journey of assembling these beloved characters while reliving the tension and triumph of the game’s iconic final battle.
The LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle (77093) set is available for pre-order from 16th January 2026, and for purchase from 1st March 2026, priced at EUR 119.99 / GBP 99.99 / USD 129.99. Discover more and purchase at LEGO.com/OcarinaOfTime or visit your nearest LEGO Store.
We're happy to see the Master Sword and Hylian Shield moulds making a comeback in this less expensive set; however, the eponymous Ocarina appears to be lost in the sands of time!

Fantastic! Another must-have for me.
Great figs, weird flaming landscape...shades of 75334 .
I was a bit skeptical about this set when it was first rumoured, but it looks better than I expected. I'm glad to finally have a Zelda set I might actually be able to get after the Deku Tree was just too expensive!
The minifigs surely are the highlight of this set! Overall not very impressed and (again) too expensive for my taste.
Excellent brick-built Ganon and minifigures! Disappointing that the part count (and price) has been artificially inflated with the baseplate. Better execution than 75334, but that isn't saying much...
IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!
Aaand overpriced ´-´
Will probably still buy it though, I love that they even did the reveal of Ganondorf rising from the rubble.
Huh... thought they'd dropped this theme after the Deku tree was supposed to have bombed.
Looks more like a set that should cost about half as much though with how flat and plain it is.
Nice set but the price is absolutely absurd. Feels like that's the new norm with every press release though, huh?
Not the Blacktron set I was hoping for…
Ganondorf's receding hairline captured very well in minifig form.
A mark of a true villain.
Oh hell yes. Finally, my beautiful big-nosed boy. I mean, okay, he doesn't HAVE a nose here, but -
Fine. My beautiful no-nosed boy, then.
I read "Navi" and my heart skipped a beat. I thought for a second we'd finally get confirmation for new Avatar sets!
Saw this leaked yesterday, but I wasn’t expecting there to be and actual Ganondorf figure. I don’t care about this set, but the figures look outstanding!

Yeah, that's not how that works... But I agree Ganon and the minifigs look amazing!
Better displayset than 10367 but still a little pricey
We're slowly getting there
I liked the tree, but I don't like this, easy pass.
I really don't see where the 1000 parts went into and how this costs 120€, but the set itself is awesome! Ocarina of Time is one of the GOAT games, so this will sell like hot cakes.
New blacktron already?!
Obviously pricey, but I like this more overall than the Deku tree.
Time to start smashing pots and cutting grass if those prices are any indication of the "Nintendo tax".
"I'm sorry, Link, I can't give credit! Come back when you're a bit...MMMMM...richer!"
Decent price, awesome set... I'm so in.
This is such a fantastic moment from the games. As a big Zelda fan, this is a day one buy for me.
Looooove it! Even the ruins are instantly recognisable! Can hear the music in my mind.
...Can we get Ganondorf's organ too, maybe as a GWP, would be nice
Ganon's face is really well done without relying on custom moulds. Amazing!
That Balrog needs to go on a diet and training regimen.
Gandolfodore is always ready for battle!
I like this set, I don't love it. Honestly it's only based on the price. If it was $30-40 cheaper, I'd love it.
An affordable set aimed at me in these trying times. YES, please.
It's nice that Lego marketing is finally showing realistic pictures of AFOLs. Clearly, the poor chap must wear a winter beanie indoors as he cannot pay his heating bill due to Lego expenditures.
I don’t understand why things like Zelda and Pokemon have their own themes and yet legendary franchises like Lord of the Rings and Star Trek have to be kept under Icons
Why is there a Blacktron symbol at the front of the set?
Wow, I can see Ganondorf being a contender for best minifig of 2026!
Not seeing a Nintendo logo anywhere on the packaging.
I actually LOVE this. I don't mind the flaming rubble field, as much as this has become a bit of a meme around LEGO - I mean, the battle takes place in a large, open field of flaming rubble... so....
Dark Beast Ganon also looks like a GREAT build. I love that this is a smaller set compared with the Deku Tree. Price is reasonable for the piece count and the minifig detail. I have no complaints.
Never played the game and as a result not particularly interested, but I can't help but feel this is a much more attractive set, both in design and price, than that tree.
(even when it still seems rather pricey)
Price is kind of bad, but it looks absolutely incredible; I've been waiting ages for something like this as a Nintendo fan, just a badass set piece from a game. This might actually be the first Lego set that I preorder tbh :-0
Regarding the comments about the flaming field... uh, yeah, this battle takes place with a ring of fire around the arena lol. If anything, I think they did a good job making it look less tacky than it did in-game.
It's been decades since I last played Zelda (back in the day on the NES), and I therefore can hardly remember anything about it.
The set looks nice enough but it's nothing I need. Happy for those who like it.
Looks really amazing!
Personally I really like the base—a big part of my memory of that boss fight is not just the subjects (Link, Zelda, and Ganon) but also the atmosphere, with the wreckage of the just-destroyed Ganon's Castle and the arena surrounded by flames. The set would certainly be cheaper without all that, but would it be better? I don't really think so.
I've only attempted to play the old NES version of Zelda. I couldn't get into it. Maybe the newer stuff would be more fun.
Seeing it in LEGO form is neat and I'd prefer this price over the Deku tree set. BUT I also am not involved in the fanbase so I don't know if I really NEED the set. I will consider it over time, especially if there is ever a sale. It does seem sparse for the price. But the built figure and the other minifigures are well done.

At this point I’m almost certain that sort of comment is shameless trolling. Everyone complained about 75098 _NOT_ having any sort of base to tie everything together, but ever since it’s been non-stop complaints about any base they include jacking up the piece count “so they can charge more”. Even when the price per piece is under 1978 standards, it doesn’t stop.
Having not played the later versions of Zelda I did not know she's a secret Blacktron. I'm a bit surprised they went w the Blacktron logo so prominent, right there front and center. But, I haven't played the game so it might be perfectly appropriate.
Beautiful set and minifigs. For someone who loves Classic Space and Castle it is tempting.
One of the fastest preorders I’ve ever made haha

IMO the baseplate is superfluous and adds bloat to the set. Sure there is more detail because of it, but it is ultimately not necessary. Without it, you have a solid $50 set (or $60 with Nintendo Tax™).
Compare this to 76289. That set is perfect! It's a 'hero vs brick-built villain' set at a great price-point. This set is bloated and overpriced because they had to hit some arbitrarily assigned piece count to make it a display set for the 18+ line.
This is 1003 pieces. 1003. This didn't need to be 500 pieces, much less 1003.
I like this set and I like the base overall but man couldn't they be a little more reserved about it? Feels like a $40-60 set if you didn't have the base.
I think this is the only place on the internet where you'd see people genuinely mistaking the Triforce for a Blacktron logo lol
Looks great! That Ganon build is excellent, and the minifigs are good, too. Not a set for me, however. I don't much like Ganondorf's OoT look (SSBU trauma...). Give me Twilight Princess Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf (or at least Link), then we'll talk.

Especially considering that the Blacktron logo is the other way around (points downward)

I'm not sure which Zelda-game you've played that DOESN'T feature the Triforce, but I'm going to assume it's the Wand of Gamelon. In which case - hardcore, my dude. Brutal.
Ganon seems wonderful, but sadly the set is overprice... Hope on a discount or having enough Insiders points soon.
Look, Lego, this is how you make a playset. Not to big with some fun minifigs to pose. Not by making statics buildable monoliths. I'm looking at you, Pokémon.
The first one I ever filled in with “yes, as soon as it is released “
The Deku tree was a bit too expensive for me and slightly a “meh” choice of a set, si although a lifelong zelda fan, I was still waiting for it to be discounted to a reasonable price.
Since hearing of this set coming out last year, I was on the lookout. So I am pleasantly surprised with the set, the figs and the price . Although €100 would be better.
Will this be a d2c and only available at a lego store or lego.com?

I don't know how many times it needs to be said, but the Pokemon playsets and smart brick sets will be launched soon.
This is also the way they should’ve made the LOtR balrog set, instead of a book-end
Ninjago x Classic Space crossover? This looks likes winner for LEGO fans.
A new form for Garmadon and pointy-ear-Llloyd in a showdown at the site of a crashed Blacktron ship? Count me in.
Link gives me David Bowie vibes.
Ganon gives me Balrog vibes.
I like it!

It's not trolling, it's my opinion. And yes, my opinion was (and still is) that 75098 needed something, anything, to help tie the disparate builds together.
My opinion for this set is the opposite: the baseplate is the bulk of this build when it shouldn't be. Sure, you can argue that the baseplate ties it all together and has a play feature, but when Ganon alone is (maybe) 350 parts compared to the final tally of just over 1000, the set feels bloated because of it.
And here's another opinion for you: this should've been 500 pieces for $50 at most. Ganon vs Link is the heart of the set and that's all I want from it. I don't want a 650 piece baseplate. I don't need a 650 piece baseplate. The build for it isn't interesting and doesn't make the set. It feels like more for the sake of more.
Like I said in my reply to @ToysFromTheAttic, I would be much happier if it was like 76289. But as I said in my original comment, it has a similar feel to 75334 and I don't like that.

You’re comparing a 8+ set primarily designed for kids to play with, to an 18+ set primarily designed for teens/adults to display. Apples and oranges.
I like this. I still haven't got the Deku Tree 77092 yet. I will get it in due time. I'm not so strong at collecting movie props but I think I managed to get at least one set per video game title - I kind of like series where you get only one set per year - i.e. manageable considering all the other stuff I usually want.
IMO the base is justified here - not so for the recently announced Pikachu 72152*. As far as piece count goes, 60495 has nearly half the parts(434) and it is just a small city vehicle. Minifigs are very good and that cape is top notch.
* I understand the base is there to convey an element of motion/jumping/running but still.
The Link fig looks to be a slight redesign from 77092, I wonder why. Bit of a shame, I was hoping that fig's aftermarket price would go down a bit.

All valid points. This is your opinion and it is a valid one. To me, It depends what I intend to do with a set. For the sets I play with, setup like 76289 is just fine; but for sets I want to mostly display, I prefer having some sort of a base that ties everything together. I got 77037 last year and while I like it a lot, I would have loved to see it with more terrain which would have probably doubled (or more) its price (In the end it will cost me double because I will have to build that base myself) - I guess it depends on the end usage.

That's a fair point and I wouldn't compare them if LEGO had been releasing some play sets or smaller display sets in addition to the Deku Tree and this one. I'm guess... I'm just disappointed because all I want from this set are the figs and the Ganon build but they are stuck in this set with another $70 of 'display build' that I don't see the value of. And that I'm not willing to pay for just to get what I want from.

Exactly this. 77093 Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle is not a play set, it's a display set. It was deliberately designed for a higher price point, since it's aimed at an older demographic with more disposable income.
All sets are designed with the suggested retails prices being decided upon first. Then they know what their budget, licenses included, for the number of parts they can use. They don't design a supposedly 50 buck set and then think: "How can we charge a 120 for this?" They already know it's going to cost that much before even starting the design process, often with the licensor indicating what specific thing they make.
Obviously not everybody is going to like that, as they just want the main character(s) or scene depicted, without any base or other additions. That's fair, but at this point I feel it's pretty clear that these 18+ sets aim for a higher price point, so they'll add a bunch of scenery. Perhaps somewhere down the line LEGO might still do an 8+ set of this character, so hopefully there'll be a (somewhat) cheaper version of him on the market. But knowing toy companies, they'll try to sell you the more expensive version first, so when the time comes when a cheaper alternative is presented you feel like you're getting a bargain.
But yeah, we know, LEGO is expensive, yada yada yada...
Definitely an easier model to get than the Deku Tree, even with so much allocated to the display. Being a cheaper set, it's also likely to see actual discounts at retailers, so I'll probably hold off a bit to grab this.
Why must LEGO insist on putting everything on a big boring display base now, making it like $50 more than it needs to be! This would be such a great set otherwise.

True, I can see wanting some terrain element for 77037 to help with display or at least allow for some flexibility in how set is used.
In this case I feel that that the designer could've cut out 300ish pieces from the display build and nothing of value would be lost. That would bring it down to 700ish pieces and the cost could be lowered to a more accessible $80-90. Not to mention, that would force the baseplate to be tightened up a bit and make it easier for display-oriented folks to actually put the set on display.
Come on, LEGO, make a Link buildable figure! :D

While I’m happy to reduce prices of sets, I think the base adds value. It’s pretty busy and not just a flat surface, so I think it’s fine. And since this is a display piece, that’s what we’re getting.
They really need to drop the "plate" builds. They add NOTHING only raising thecosts

Glad to see the Megaton hammer is included. That’s critical for one of the most gruesome sound effects in the game. Happy to see both Ganon and Ganondorf forms are included. I’ll be getting this set.
i'd pay 90usd for this, tops. LEGO's pricing is completely out of control
Ocarina of Time was my first Zelda. I still remember this final battle and the excitement and joy of finishing this masterpiece. This Lego rendition of that iconic moment just gave me the chills, and both Ganon and Ganondorf are amazing. A day one purchase, without a doubt.
Spoilers! (I mean literally... Ocarina of Time is still in my backlog.)
I think this is the first time that the common bionicle moc technique of using tires to bulk up the thinner parts of ball joint pieces has appeared in an official set..
Man, there goes being frugal.

how so? i look at the photos and link fig I have and they look the same...
I’m not the market for anything Nintendo that isn’t Pokemon, but I think the base adds a lot of visual interest and opportunities for fun posing.
I'm actually somewhere between "No, but I like it" and "No, it doesn't interest me." The only LoZ games I've played are the original and Breath of the Wild, and I didn't get very far in either of those. That said, this is still a cool-looking build, and I have a feeling that if I'd ever played and finished Ocarina of Time, I'd want this set.

No, there are other Lego fan websites.
Holy crap that’s awesome. My 13 yr-old son just played Ocarina of Time over Christmas break, and he loved it. He said this set looks amazing.
We’ll definitely be picking this up.
This is freakin awesome. Still haven't pulled the trigger on the Deku Tree (though I've got the money saved and a spot cleared off for it) and I'll be honest I want this way more. It's still a tad pricey (1000 for $130!) but for once the set is so cool I might be able to stomach that. Maybe I'll bite the bullet on Deku next month and hold out for a potential sale on Ganon, but I hope to have both by the end of the year.
LEGO, if you're listening, Wind Waker link and BOTW Guardian and my heart is yours

The difference is the bits of scenery from the Hoth set would have been spread out over several miles, so it really doesn't make any sort of logical sense to build them into a single model. This scene all happens in a fairly constrained space, so it absolutely does in this case.
"My opinion for this set is the opposite: the baseplate is the bulk of this build when it shouldn't be."
Without it, it's just a character pack. Traditional AFOLs may be fine with those, but it's not likely to appeal to adults who don't play with their toys.
"I don't want a 650 piece baseplate."
And you don't know that this base uses that many pieces. The portion that it sits on looks fairly anemic as these things go.

Yeah, that's not how that works... "
At this point I’m almost certain that sort of comment is shameless trolling. Everyone complained about 75098 _NOT_ having any sort of base to tie everything together, but ever since it’s been non-stop complaints about any base they include jacking up the piece count “so they can charge more”. Even when the price per piece is under 1978 standards, it doesn’t stop."

My opinion for this set is the opposite: the baseplate is the bulk of this build when it shouldn't be. Sure, you can argue that the baseplate ties it all together and has a play feature, but when Ganon alone is (maybe) 350 parts compared to the final tally of just over 1000, the set feels bloated because of it.
And here's another opinion for you: this should've been 500 pieces for $50 at most. Ganon vs Link is the heart of the set and that's all I want from it. I don't want a 650 piece baseplate. I don't need a 650 piece baseplate. The build for it isn't interesting and doesn't make the set. It feels like more for the sake of more.
Like I said in my reply to @ToysFromTheAttic , I would be much happier if it was like 76289 . But as I said in my original comment, it has a similar feel to 75334 and I don't like that."
All valid points. This is your opinion and it is a valid one. To me, It depends what I intend to do with a set. For the sets I play with, setup like 76289 is just fine; but for sets I want to mostly display, I prefer having some sort of a base that ties everything together. I got 77037 last year and while I like it a lot, I would have loved to see it with more terrain which would have probably doubled (or more) its price (In the end it will cost me double because I will have to build that base myself) - I guess it depends on the end usage."
You do realize you can go to BL or BO and buy the figures, right? I'd also say it's a fair point to think that most of us stopped playing with Lego sets a long time ago. I stopped playing with Lego when I was 12 after I discovered girls didn't look like they used to. I do however like to build with Lego and consequently display my sets so the base is very useful to me.
Can't wait for a pancake-shaped crossection of the Majora's Mask moon
Great looking set and I'm a huge Zelda fan, buuuuut I have no particular attachment to Ocarina of Time.
Even the Minifig shows Nintendo follows the contemporary Himbofication trend. The N64 one was much cuter and almost genderless.
The questionnaire should be a multi select thing, that would be better to reflect the different sentiments.
"No, it doesn't interest me"
"No, it's too expensive"

It's not a blacktron sign its the triforce

I am a unifier. Why not call it "Black Force"? And opposing it would be Wh... oh no. No, that wouldn't be unifying at ALL. Quickly, play the Song of Time! Reverse!

If you think that, there’s a good chance you’ve got a Blacktron chip embedded in your neck like Ramona Flowers.
I have never played this game, but those figures look amazing.
It appears that Lego Legends of Zelda is emulating Marvel's business model; exquisitely detailed minifigures standing on top of piles of rubble. (For example, 76266.)
Interesting new torso mould Ganondorf is sporting. I wonder if that will be a new standard for taller characters.

You mean by sticking armor on a plainvanilla standard torso to raise the head up just a tiny bit? Compare where the wrist is in relation to the waist. The armor blends into the torso really well, to the point that it’s hard to even identify the bottom edge of the breastplate from just the front image.

Looks to be the exact same armor piece that was introduced with the Dark Troopers in 2021. So nothing new except for the printing on it of course.
I pre-ordered it via the Brickset link due to nostalgia.
I'm not surprised to see Lego continuing to push sets related to the Ocarina of Time, as it's undeniably the best Zelda game (with A Link to the Past and Majora's Mask filling out the top three). I don't label myself as a massive Zelda fan, if only because I usually find fandoms to be obnoxious--and especially in Zelda's case, since most Zelda fans don't see the forest for the trees or seem to understand what actually makes it brilliant.
That said, it's the inspiration behind the franchise and the game itself that I appreciate most about it, even if it ultimately took me decades to uncover (mostly at least, there are still some pieces I'm still searching for). Looking back in retrospect, it's kind of incredible how much this game has shaped my life and the development of my beliefs from when I was a little kid through to now by coercing me to look further and further back through history, mythologies, music and the general arts. It especially amazes me how in-touch with the Earth, climate sensitive and intelligent our ancient ancestors actually were, and how out-of-touch and (quite frankly) clueless many people are now.
While it might sound inane, even comical to some, I think that using the Zelda franchise as a starting point and looking deeper into the themes and inspirations behind it reveals a greater truth than any modern religion or a lot of modern science is capable of.
As for the set itself, the inspiration for the final battle between Link and Ganon is one of the oldest stories there is. In fact, it's so old that it made it into the bible several times, ironically retold as separate stories, and has went on to inspire countless other stories since, including Batman, Star Wars and many others. In fact, while the entire Jesus myth can quite blatantly be extrapolated from the broader Egyptian Horus versus Set conflict story, the Egyptian story itself is actually just another link in the greater chain. Simply put, it's the pancake theory / multiverse in practice.
From what I've been able to collect, the original coming of age story, of good triumphing over evil, is the simple story of a young man avenging his father by killing a hippopotamus. I've always imagined that he must have been overwhelmed by the hollow feeling his victory brought him, how nothing changed, and how the sight of an oxpecker flying from the mouth of a hippopotamus inspired the concept of heaven, as well as why angelic beings are so commonly depicted as having bird-like characteristics.
The most profound ideas are usually inspired by the simplest things.
