Ocarina Of Time’s Latest Official Release, Majora’s Mask Needs To Be Next

The Legend of Zelda series is like a freight train. It’s been going at full speed for 40 years, and it shows no signs of stopping, despite fans always wanting more out of it.

Although there have been a few polarizing mainline entries over the years, most of them are beloved, including Ocarina of Time. Sadly, its successor isn’t nearly as represented, but that needs to change.

Ocarina Of Time’s LEGO Set Is Out

It Details The Final Fight With Ganon

When The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in 1998, it was an absolute triumph. Although some fans point out the Nintendo 64’s technical shortcomings at the time, the game was an absolute hit, and for many, it’s up there with Link to the Past as the best Zelda game. It’s no wonder that Nintendo remade it in 2011 on the 3DS, and fans are constantly asking for a remaster or remake.

So it made sense that Nintendo would announce that Ocarina of Time was one of their first 40th-anniversary celebrations, in the form of a LEGO set. It features the final battle between Link/Zelda and Ganon, and includes three mini-figures, as well as a 1,003-piece kit for constructing the arena. Priced at $130, it’s definitely for serious collectors and major LEGO/Zelda fans.

But Nintendo is really leaving money on the table by stopping here. Although Mario is also an IP-powerhouse worthy of multiple LEGO sets, we need more Legend of Zelda in the mix. There are plenty of potential candidates, but one in particular sticks out above the rest.

Majora’s Mask Should Be Next

There Are So Many Possibilities

Just two years later, Nintendo would follow up Ocarina of Time with Majora’s Mask, also on the Nintendo 64. It’s a direct sequel that takes place several months after the events of Ocarina of Time and explores the world of Termina and a post-apocalyptic framework. Naturally, it would make for some pretty killer LEGO sets.

For many fans, Majora’s Mask is the pinnacle of Zelda. It’s an oddball game with some of the strangest iconography and character designs, as well as some major horror vibes that aren’t always well represented in mainline Zelda titles. Potential sets include a build of the titular mask on a stand, the Termina clock tower, and the iconic giant Moon with the ominous face.

If LEGO and Nintendo really want to go over the top and wow people, a build featuring the final fight with a Fierce Deity Link minifig on the Moon itself would break the internet. Make it happen, Nintendo.

If you’re a Zelda fan, look forward to more potential announcements this year for the 40th anniversary. Hopefully, a lot more are on the way, but Nintendo will have to work overtime to match the excitement from Pokémon‘s 30th this year.
