Legohas fueled rumorsThe Legend Of Zeldawill finally be getting an official set by issuing takedowns toYouTubechannels using the possibly leaked images. The takedowns also apply to aLord of the Ringsset which was confirmed to be real earlier this month.
Reported byVGC, Lego has been issuing takedowns for videos featuring images of the Rivendell and Great Deku Tree sets. The Rivendell set is now official, will be made up of more than 6,000 pieces, and retails at $500. The Zelda set, the images of which may have come from an internal survey at Lego, has not been officially revealed.

Its place alongside the LOTR images in Lego’s takedown notices has those who were already fairly sure it was real convinced thatLink will finally be immortalized in Legovery soon. The deal to make that happen is already in place as Lego has been makingMariosets for a while.
It makes sense that if Lego andNintendoare planning to extend their partnership to other IPs, Zelda would be the next step. Arguably the second biggest Nintendo series after Mario,Pokemonnot included since its building brick rights are owned by a Lego rival, and there’s alsoTears of the Kingdom’s launch to consider. A huge game arriving onSwitchwhich Nintendo will want to celebrate and capitalize on with as much accompanying merch as possible.
Even if the images of the Great Deku Tree set are the real deal, it’s not certain, maybe even a little unlikely, that the final product will look exactly like it. Lego sets go through a number of stages and revisions between the concept and the final product. Take theSonicset, for instance. Born from a fan idea submitted through Lego’s Ideas program, while it’s clear to see the final set was inspired by the original design, it underwent a lot of changes.
