The explosive popularity of the many newZeldagames released over the past several years has led many to hold out hope that the series may represent another of Nintendo’s IPs that’s ready to see an official collaboration with LEGO, though unfortunately, theSuper Mariofranchise has been the only Nintendo-owned property to have the honor thus far.

Some such sets even make their way to the LEGO Ideas website and gain substantial community support, such asta popular fanmadeNo Man’s SkyLEGO set.
While it remains up to fans to decide whether these leaked sets are likely to see the light of day,Nintendo’s Super Mario x LEGO collaborationshows that the Japanese video game giant isn’t opposed to the idea of official LEGO sets based on its games. WithThe Legend of Zeldaconfidently standing as one of the most iconic and recognizable franchises in the industry, there’s certainly potential for Nintendo’s LEGO collaborations to expand in the future.
