Before time began, before spirits and life existed, three goddesses descended upon the chaos that was Hyrule. Din, the goddess of Power. Nayru, the goddess of wisdom. Farore, the goddess of courage. These powers would form the Triforce, a mystical symbol and the basis of the battle which has raged across the numerous Legend of Zelda games. It also heralded the creation of the world, which has captivated gamers for 40 years. As a passionate gamer for a large chunk of my life, I’ve played a lot of games, but even now, there is one game which stayed with me since the moment I first played it. The Ocarina of Time was released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, and it’s still considered one of the greatest games ever made. It may look dated by today’s standards, but it really is a tremendous game. So it’s no surprise that Ocarina of Time has provided the inspiration for the second Legend of Zelda LEGO® set. Whereas the first set joined Link in the early stages of his time-hopping adventure, the latest joins him at the end as he faces an ancient evil. Here’s a look at the upcoming Legend of Zelda set, The Final Battle.

The Deku Tree set was a magnificent debut for the Legend of Zelda theme. Although it was a great display piece, it also felt a little more like a play set. The Final Battle is certainly skewed more towards display than play. The build begins by constructing a simple flat platform. This features a black base topped with the dusty surface of the final battle arena. Much of the set’s details are added to the base in sections. So the base is surprisingly simple, but great effort has been made to make the scene feel as dynamic as the battle felt back in 1998. The way the different pieces of rubble and castle ruins have been connected to the base is awfully clever. Turntable plates are used for many of them, but each piece has a couple of studs which neatly line up with studs positioned on the base.
One feature of the scene I love is the inclusion of a Triforce. This mystical symbol plays an important part in the Zelda game series. Each part of the Triforce is held by the characters included in the set. Link holds the Triforce of Courage, Princess Zelda possesses the Triforce of Wisdom, and Ganondorf has taken the Triforce of Power. The Triforce is recreated by a trio of golden triangle signs, which are mounted on the front of the set. It’s nearly incorporated into the black border of the base.
Although the final battle is against Link and the formidable Ganon, the Hero of Time first faces off against the Evil Lord’s human form. Hidden within the rubble of the castle is Ganondorf, who can be unleashed by pushing in a block at the back of the set. This forces the evil king to spring into view. It’s a fun feature, and the simple mechanism that powers it is well incorporated into the set. Ganondorf isn’t the only hidden surprise; other Easter Eggs include a trio of health hearts hidden within the castle rubble and the Megaton Hammer, which can be found on display in the castle turret. The other minifigures in the set aren’t incorporated as well as Ganondorf is. Link is mounted a clear arm connected to the turret, showing him leaping in to battle. Zelda is merely stand on the sidelines, which to be fair is how she is found in the game.
After defeating Ganondorf, the castle starts to crumble, Link and Zelda flee to safety, but it’s short-lived as Ganondorf takes his true form – Ganon. He’s portrayed as a large brick-built creature and forms the main part of the set. Ganon includes various points of articulation, so it can be posed in various ways. But his legs are quite small, so although it can be stood freely from the base of the set, with a little help from his colourful tail, Ganon looks far better when connected to the base. You’ll be pleased to know that the various decorated elements found on Ganon are all printed. These are expertly used to create Ganon’s pig-like face. Ganon’s look is finished off with a tatty material cape and a pair of large golden swords. Ganon looks amazing, especially since the joints have mostly been hidden. The only thing I found to be a little awkward was the side panels of Ganon’s patterned ‘skirt’. These are mounted on T-bars, and when trying to flatten them closer to the body, they can pop off. They connect better by positioning the T-bar element slightly pulled out from the body.
The set includes three minifigures, Princess Zelda, Link and Ganondorf. This marks Ocarina of Time’s adult Link’s second minifigure appearance. This is the same version included with the Deku Tree set. Link’s iconic green tunic is depicted perfectly. Especially with the use of a unique hair/hat element and dual-moulded legs. Link also includes the Master Sword and Hyrulian Shield, both unique accessories introduced in the Deku Tree set. Although Princess Zelda was included in the first Legend of Zelda set, she only appeared in her Breath of the Wild outfit. Now she’s also available in her classic royal robes. The print detail is great on both the torso and gown base of Zelda, plus she sports another unique hair element.
But the star of the set is the menacing Gerudo King, Ganondorf. It’s an early contender for minifigure of the year. It uses a new hairpiece to capture the Gerudo King’s flame-red hair and imposing eyebrows. This is paired with two expressions, both capturing Ganondorf’s menacing grins. The print detail on Ganondorf is outstanding, especially when combined with the shoulder armour, which also includes print detail. I’m glad the human form of Ganondorf has been included in the set, as it’s a really cool-looking minifigure.
The Ocarina of Time is one of my favourite games, and this set is a wonderful, if a little expensive, celebration of Nintendo’s masterpiece. The methods used to attach the ruined rubble of the castle are genuinely impressive and help to give the scene a more dynamic appearance. The minifigures are once again a near-perfect representation of the game’s characters. I hope we see more LEGO sets inspired by The Legend of Zelda. The Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle set arrives on March 1st and is available to pre-order now.
