Nintendo has done some great collabs with their better-known games and characters to help fans enjoy the content they love beyond the gaming experience. A popular collab they continue to do is with LEGO, releasing both small and large sets that celebrate iconic Nintendo scenes and characters from big games, such as Mario and The Legend of Zelda. These LEGO sets are great additions to your collection alongside your games and other collectibles.
Let’s check out some of the Nintendo LEGO collab sets and some information about the games or characters these sets are based on.
The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree
The Great Deku Tree is the massive tree in The Legend of Zelda games, known as the fatherly guardian of the forest. He safeguards the lands around him and the small groups of beings that live in his shadow. His first appearance was in the Orcarina of Time, where the Kokiri people praised and worshiped the massive tree, sharing their home with him in the Kokiri Forest. In another game, The Wind Waker, the Koroks lived in harmony with the tree in the Forest Haven. He is known as one of the oldest and wisest characters in The Legend of Zelda games, often providing wisdom and guidance to Link.
This LEGO collab of the Great Deku Tree is a 2-in-1 set with 2 versions of the Deku Tree to create, 2,500 pieces, 4 minifigures (Princess Zelda and 3 versions of Link), small builds of Link’s house, accessible side panels, and a variety of items from each game the tree was featured in, including the Orcarina of Time, a Hylian Shield, and the Master Sword.
It is an incredible LEGO set worthy of a shelf in your collection. Get your Great Deku Tree here!
Mario 64: Question Mark Block
The Mario 64 question mark block is one of the most well-known symbols from the games, providing power-ups, extra coins, and other benefits while playing the games. This block continues to be featured in new games, always adding extra power-ups when you need them. Celebrating 25 years since the launch of Super Mario 64, they released this LEGO collab to pay tribute to the classic game where the block was first featured, and recapture the magic for both old and new players. Anyone who has enjoyed a Mario game is familiar with the symbol and will enjoy such a unique build.
This LEGO collab of the question mark block opens to reveal multiple game levels (including Peach’s Castle, Bomb-omb, Lethal Lava Trouble, and more), has 2,064 pieces, and includes 10 microfigures (including Princess Peach, Mario, Yoshi, and more) to recreate the iconic scenes.
If you’re a nostalgic fan of Mario or just think the block is cool, add it to your collection today!
Mario: Blue Shell
The Mario Blue Shell, or the Spiny Shell, is a power-up item featured in the Mario Kart games that is one of the most frustrating items to get hit with, often coming at you right at the finish line. Making its first appearance in Mario Kart 64, it continues to be featured in every game since and has a large collection of memes centered around it. The shell stops players on impact, making it perfect for sabotage towards the end of the race.
The Blue Shell is a perfect replica of the item in the game, made up of only 234 pieces and standing 2.5 inches tall. It has a stable base for display and fits well onto most shelves, easy to display next to your other Mario collectibles.
