Rounding up a year of The Legend of Zelda builds in preparation for Ocarina of Time
BlockTalk Summary
LEGO fans and gamers are celebrating the release of the long-awaited remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time by highlighting an incredible wave of community MOCs inspired by the franchise. While The Legend of Zelda has historically been under-represented in custom builds at conventions, talented designers around the world are increasingly bringing Hyrule to life in bricks. From classic Nintendo 64 memories to modern open-world adventures, these fan-made creations showcase the timeless appeal of the 40-year-old franchise.
Builder Trevor Pearson-Jones (moptoptrev) captures the infamous Kaepora Gaebora with a fully rotatable owl head build that brings back classic button-mashing trauma. Meanwhile, Matticus Bricks presents two Forest Temple builds featuring a purist Saria minifigure, Koroks, and an art gallery featuring Phantom Ganon complete with lighting and gameplay-inspired volleyball functions that leverage display techniques similar to set 77093 Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle. Other standout creations include Tyler's (gipsy_danger25) vintage-style custom Link utilizing classic LEGO elements, Mounir Khoury's terrifying Gloom Hands and Phantom Ganon from Tears of the Kingdom, and rebelnili's smooth stone Sky Island shrine utilizing transparent elements for green Zonai energy.
The community's creativity extends to massive beasts and characters, including ivybrickss' minifig-scale Battle Talus accompanied by custom Bokoblins, and Joss Ivanwood's majestic Satori build featuring brilliant yellow minifigure hand usage for leafy antlers. Caleb Ricks honors the franchise's main villain with a massive Ganondorf character build, expertly incorporating a detailed cloth and brick-built cape. Additionally, an alternative build inspired by LEGO Ideas set 21373 Downton Abbey transforms the architecture into the iconic Temple of Time using spare parts and transparent blue tiles.
As you dive into the remake of Ocarina of Time this weekend, take inspiration from these incredible fan builds and consider grabbing a brick separator or setting up a LEGO display case to showcase your own custom Hyrule creations.
