LEGO Legend of Zelda and Pokémon Sets Reportedly Scheduled for 2026 Release: What We Know So Far

In a significant development for fans of both Nintendo and LEGO, new details have emerged about the highly anticipated LEGO Legend of Zelda and LEGO Pokémon set launches scheduled for 2026.

The collaboration, which has seen previous success with sets inspired by iconic Nintendo franchises, is poised to expand with new releases that celebrate some of the most beloved characters in video game history. According to information sourced from Brick Tap, a recognized member of the LEGO insider community, LEGO and Nintendo are reportedly planning to unveil a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Ganondorf diorama set in March 2026.

This upcoming release is significant for several reasons: it marks the first LEGO set centered around Ganondorf, the central antagonist of the celebrated 1998 Nintendo 64 classic, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Codenamed "Zelda: 77093," the diorama will capture the iconic elements of the game’s climactic battles and environments, welcoming both collectors and fans of the Zelda franchise.

LEGO’s debut of Ganondorf in brick form is expected to be a major draw for enthusiasts and Nintendo Switch owners alike, reinforcing Nintendo’s ongoing strategy to bridge its game universe with creative and physical play. Parallel to this, more details have surfaced regarding the forthcoming LEGO Pokémon sets, which are expected to make a significant impact on the market.

Notably, a premium $650 USD set, numbered 72153, will spotlight buildable models of the original Kanto region starters—Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.

This ambitious set is scheduled for release on Pokémon Day, February 27, 2026, continuing the tradition of commemorating the franchise's anniversary with special product launches. Furthermore, reports indicate that a total of 20 Pokémon-themed LEGO sets are being prepared for release throughout 2026.

Notably, some of these sets will introduce new “smart brick” technology, designed to allow interactive play experiences where models can 'battle' each other—echoing the spirit of the original Pokémon games.

This blend of collectible craftsmanship and playability aligns with both Nintendo and LEGO’s commitment to innovation and audience engagement. While details have surfaced via insider reports and community members such as Brick Tap and sources like Max Baut, LEGO and Nintendo have yet to officially confirm these sets or provide further specifics.

As with any unannounced projects, readers should consider these details as early verified information, pending official statements from the companies involved. Both the Legend of Zelda and Pokémon franchises continue to be pillars in Nintendo’s portfolio, frequently celebrated in Nintendo Direct presentations and across the Nintendo eShop, as well as in the broader collectibles market.

LEGO’s partnership with Nintendo has delivered multiple best-selling sets since the debut of LEGO Super Mario in 2020, with sales milestones reflecting strong demand from fans worldwide.
