LEGO reveals Link and Epona statuette for Zelda's 40th anniversary

Nintendo's 40th Anniversary Legend of Zelda Direct, held today (8 September 2026), included a merchandise showcase from several companies - and LEGO's contribution was the reveal of a brick-built statuette of Link riding Epona.

No set number, piece count, price, or release date was announced. The reveal was purely visual. Brickset suspects a 2027 launch, which is plausible given how licensing announcements of this kind tend to work - reveal early, ship considerably later.

Epona has been at Link's side since Ocarina of Time on the N64, and the timing ties in neatly with the Ocarina of Time remake arriving on Switch 2 later this year. Early community discussion has noted that the face piece appears to be borrowed from the football player sculpt, which suits the N64-era anime style rather well. There is also debate about structural stability - specifically whether the base is large enough to support Epona's front legs cleanly, though the tail appears to serve as a third anchor point.

This is the third LEGO Zelda set, and all three draw from Ocarina of Time. The existing two - 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 and 77093 Ocarina of Time - The Final Battle - establish the line as display pieces.

More information as we get it.
