This Zelda: Breath of the Wild LEGO Set Needs to be Official

We love video games and LEGO around here, and this awesome LEGO Breath of the Wild diorama combines both of those loves in one. Designed by a guy going by “Hanwasyellowfirst,” this Breath of the Wild set looks like it could be an official kit. The build is based on the stable in the latest Zelda game.

The roof sections of the build are hinged, so they open to reveal what’s inside. You will find horses, beds, a table, chairs, and reception desk inside.

The design is currently and is on the LEGO Ideas and looking for your votes. If the kit were to go into production, Link and other characters from the game would be included. The minifigs the builder used are placeholders.  This kit deserves to win; the real question is would Nintendo license the franchise to LEGO if the kit were to get enough votes.

‘Tunic’ is more than just a ‘Zelda’ clone with a cute fox

Tunic looks like a game that's taken a lot of inspiration from SNES era Zelda titles — and when Xbox's E3 2018 showcase is an awful lot of games with guns, zombies or unexplained apocalyptic surroundings, it was a welcome panacea. Meet the...
