At the end of Ocarina of Time (1998), Ganondorf reveals his true "Ganon" form —a hideous boar-like demon with tusks and a bad attitude. This LEGO set includes a massive buildable Ganon with two swords, plus minifigures for Link, Zelda and Ganondorf. You can pose these elements within a larger diorama of Ganon's ruined castle, which also conceals three Recovery Hearts and the Megaton Hammer.
How Many LEGO Nintendo Sets Are There?
As of February 2026, there are 20 LEGO Super Mario sets, seven LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog sets, 13 LEGO Animal Crossing sets, and six LEGO The Legend of Zelda set available for purchase on the official LEGO store.
A Shift in Approach
Prince Florian & Castle Bowser is technically an expansion playset, but it is marketed as a standalone set. It demonstrates what seems to be a new LEGO Nintendo approach for 2026 and beyond: a design ethos that does not strictly delineate a children's set from an adult set. We saw this with the Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Kart set that launched in May 2025. And we're seeing it again with the Ocarina of Time - The Final Battle set that will launch in March 2026.
We've also noticed an increased emphasis on the Mario Kart playsets over the Super Mario platformer playsets. And that makes sense from a financial standpoint. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (not Super Mario Odyssey), was the top selling game on the Nintendo Switch. And 82% of players who bought the Nintendo Switch 2 also bought Mario Kart World Tour, which launched with the console.
Which Nintendo franchise deserves a LEGO set the most?
MetroidKirbyPokémonLuigi's MansionSplatoonSuper Smash Bros.PikminOther (Tell us in the comments!)The early, child-oriented LEGO Super Mario playsets were very piecemeal and airy – isolated, singular elements and simple, flat plates that connected the elements together. The builds were too rudimentary, even for children's builds – they felt like LEGO sets designed for children who don't like LEGO.
What Does the Future of LEGO Nintendo Look Like?
Today, the LEGO Super Mario sets are more substantial and detail-laden, even though they still have the barcodes that designate them as expansion playsets. The best of these sets make the mobile gameplay a secondary concern to how it looks on display, and how fun and engaging it is to build. And that is where the emphasis should always be. Because whether it's for kids or adults, the joy comes from the build itself; the final product is the outgrowth of that.
There's a great LEGO documentary on Netflix; it's part of a running series called "The Toys That Made Us," and I would recommend it to anyone. My biggest takeaway from the film is that LEGO has tried, many times, to escape or broaden its appeal by creating other toys or by reinventing the bricks somehow – by overlaying them with augmented reality, or repurposing them in some odd, niche fashion. But it never turns out well or lasts, and LEGO keeps returning to the thing that people love most.
Those initial Mario playsets were a step too far and emphasized play over build. And now that LEGO is creating sets that are more in line with their design and company strengths, the future looks bright.
