The highly anticipated LEGO Game Boy set, set to launch in October 2025, is generating even more buzz following rumors that it will include a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Fans of both Nintendo and LEGO are hopeful that the iconic 1993 Game Boy adventure will be part of the latest collaboration between the two entertainment giants.
Nintendo and LEGO have a history of successful partnerships, previously releasing collectible sets based on Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing, and even a full LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System complete with a working brick-built television. The LEGO Game Boy set, officially announced in January 2025, promises to continue this tradition by recreating the beloved handheld console in brick form for collectors and gamers alike.
A Fitting Tribute to a Classic Title
According to leaker lego_minecraft_goat, the set is rumored to feature The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening as part of its build. The game, originally released for the Game Boy in 1993, is widely considered one of the best titles in the handheld’s library, making it a natural fit for the LEGO Game Boy kit. While some fans had speculated that Tetris or Pokemon Red might make an appearance, many are already celebrating the potential inclusion of Zelda’s dreamlike adventure.
It is important to note, however, that even reliable leakers occasionally miss the mark, and no official confirmation has been given about Link’s Awakening being part of the set. As of now, the only confirmed detail remains the October 2025 release window.
More LEGO Video Game Collaborations on the Horizon
The excitement around the LEGO Game Boy has also reignited speculation about what’s next for LEGO’s video game-inspired sets. According to the same leaker, additional Super Mario kits are planned, and while Pokemon has not been mentioned as part of Nintendo’s collaborations, LEGO has officially announced separate Pokemon sets slated for 2026.
The LEGO Group’s recent ventures into video game territory, including building kits and in-game events in titles like Fortnite, have been praised by fans and critics alike. Whether the Game Boy set can match the popularity of the NES Super Mario bundle remains to be seen, but rising enthusiasm suggests LEGO and Nintendo are poised for continued success.
Fans eager to add the LEGO Game Boy to their collections will have to wait just a little longer, but the prospect of Zelda’s iconic adventure making its brick-built debut has already made the wait feel worthwhile.
