The continued collaboration between video game juggernaut Nintendo and building block powerhouse LEGO has found massive success among fans, and enthusiasm for the upcoming Game Boy LEGO set has been sparked further by rumors that The Legend of Zelda will be referenced in the LEGO brick iteration of the iconic handheld gaming device. Previous LEGO x Nintendo collections have included beloved mainstays like Super Mario Bros. And Animal Crossing, and audiences are now keeping their fingers crossed that The Legend of Zelda will be included in the next LEGO offering.
First announced in January 2025, the upcoming LEGO Game Boy set will bring the classic handheld device to life in traditional building block fashion, giving fans of the brick kits and Nintendo IPs a new set to add to their collections. Nintendo and LEGO previously teamed up to launch the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System console set, which was paired with a LEGO TV displaying Super Mario Bros. Many have been wondering whether another classic title could be included with the Game Boy set, and audiences may finally have an answer.
Rumor: LEGO Game Boy Set Price and Release Date Leaked
The supposed release date, retail price, and piece count of the upcoming LEGO Game Boy set are leaked online ahead of the set's launch.
While there have already been full Legend of Zelda LEGO sets, leaker lego_minecraft_goat alleges that the upcoming Game Boy set will feature The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The original Link's Awakening was released in 1993 and was one of the biggest titles available for the Game Boy, making it a suitable pairing for the upcoming LEGO kit. Some had been hoping for other retro titles such as Pokemon Red or Tetris to be included in the Game Boy set, but others are already celebrating the possible LEGO version of Link's Awakening. It should be noted that even the most reliable leakers are not always correct in their predictions, so audiences should take the Link's Awakening Game Boy LEGO rumor with a grain of salt. At the time of writing, the only officially confirmed detail for the LEGO Game Boy is a scheduled launch in October 2025.
Upcoming LEGO Video Game Collaborations
In addition to the details on The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening being referenced in the kit number for the Game Boy LEGO set, lego_minecraft_goat included tidbits from other rumored upcoming LEGO video game sets. There are said to be more Super Mario offerings and, while Pokemon is not referenced in any Nintendo crossover kits, there has already been an official announcement for LEGO Pokemon sets on the way in 2026. It remains to be seen how these rumors will shake out, but fans are excitedly counting down the days to the launch of the Game Boy set and other gaming brick kits.
Audiences and critics alike have praised the multitude of LEGO video game collaborations, ranging from collectible building kits to in-game content in Fortnite. Only time will tell if the Game Boy LEGO set will be as popular as the NES Super Mario kit, but rising fan enthusiasm ahead of the set's launch has many hoping for even more to come from the partnership between LEGO and Nintendo.
