LEGO’s Next Zelda Set Puts Link on Epona With 1,750 Pieces

LEGO started its Zelda line with a tree. Then it built a castle. Now it wants you to build a horse, and it would rather not say what the horse costs.

The LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – Link & Epona set got a few seconds of screen time during Nintendo's Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on Tuesday. Nintendo's own description calls it a 1,750-piece collectible display model for adults, due in spring 2027. That is the whole spec sheet. No price, no set number, no dimensions, and no preorder date.

A tree, a castle, and now a horse

This is LEGO's third Zelda set. The first, the Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 (set 77092), landed in September 2024 with roughly 2,500 pieces and a $299.99 price. You could build it as the Ocarina of Time version or the Breath of the Wild version, and it has since retired. The second, Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle (77093), arrived March 1, 2026 at $129.99 for 1,003 pieces, with a button that makes Ganon's Castle ruins burst open so Ganondorf can rise out of the rubble.

Link & Epona sits between those two in piece count, and it looks like a different kind of object entirely. Retro Dodo describes it as adult Link and Epona in the scene from the game's opening sequence, the ride across Hyrule Field, rendered as a sculpture. There is no play feature and no 2-in-1 gimmick. You build it, you put it on a shelf, and you look at it.

I like that choice. The Deku Tree was impressive but enormous, and The Final Battle leans cartoony. A horse in motion is a harder shape for bricks to pull off, and if LEGO gets the neck and the legs right, this could be the best-looking Zelda set the company has made. That is a big if. Animals are where brick sculptures tend to fall apart, and a still frame in a Direct is not the same as a finished model on your desk.

About that missing price

The math LEGO fans do in their heads goes something like this. The Deku Tree worked out to about 12 cents a piece. The Final Battle came in around 13 cents a piece. Apply either ratio to 1,750 pieces and you land somewhere in the low-$200 range. That is a guess, and I would not be surprised if the real number lands higher.

The bigger problem is the timing. Spring 2027 is at least six months out, and the Ocarina of Time remake ships November 5 on Switch 2. The Deku Tree and the Ganon castle are already out, so anyone who wants the full set of three will be buying the last piece long after the game has come and gone from the conversation. If you are budgeting for the remake, the anniversary Switch 2 hardware, and this set, you are going to feel it.

The amiibo side of the announcement

Nintendo also announced Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo in their new remake designs, launching in 2027. Scan them in the remake and Link unlocks in-game masks that, in Nintendo's words, "evoke a retro graphical style." Nintendo has not said more than that, but the wording reads like a nod to the 1998 look, and a mask is a fitting delivery system for a game that already has a whole side quest built around masks.

Sooner than any of that, the Mineru's Construct amiibo for Tears of the Kingdom releases September 17. That one was announced earlier, so it is a date confirmation more than news.

The rest of the merch wave is real and long. There is a playable ocarina from Nintendo and an electric one from HORI that plays notes or whole songs at the press of a button, both due later this year. Hasbro has a 27-inch electronic Master Sword and a Heroes of Hyrule line of figures for spring 2027, and Hanayama has Huzzle metal puzzles of the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. We are covering the ocarinas and the sword separately.

Who should care

If you built the Deku Tree and The Final Battle, you were always going to buy this, and you already know it. If you skipped both, Link & Epona looks like the most shelf-friendly entry so far, and the one most likely to read as Zelda from across a room. Wait for the price before you get attached. LEGO has until spring to tell us, and the answer will decide whether this is a nice birthday gift or a serious line item.
