All things going well, we could well find ourselves being treated to LEGO sets based on the worlds of The Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog and Untitled Goose Game, all thanks to the LEGO Ideas initiative.
If you're unaware, LEGO Ideas has creators from all over the world submit ideas for new LEGO sets. We've featured some on the site before - including the Zelda castle and Untitled Goose Game sets mentioned here - and if they can generate 10,000 votes from potential buyers, they'll go on to be officially reviewed by the LEGO gods for a potential release.
The review process comes around three times a year and in May, 26 designs made the cut to be considered. You can check out the full list here, but highlights for gaming fans can be found below.
They're titled, 'Untitled Goose Game', 'Sonic Mania - Green Hill Zone', and 'The Legend of Zelda BotW: Hyrule Castle'.
Of course, getting to the review stage doesn't mean that these sets will definitely be made into a real product, and any ideas based upon properties like Zelda will have extra hurdles to jump over, but it certainly shows both LEGO and the games' developers that the interest is there. We're already getting an official Super Mario set and we know that LEGO wants to make more with Nintendo, so why not?
Which design do you like the best? Would you like to see these made into real products? Tell us below.

Seeing as LEGO Sonic is already a thing, that's working in its favour.
As far as I can tell though, only for LEGO Dimensions, not for a proper LEGO set.
"They're titled, 'Untitled Goose Game', ..."
How ironic!
The Untitled Goose Game is silly, but I don't think it would be super fun to build.
That Eggman Robot in the Sonic set looks like a lot of fun, though, along with the loop and the Half-Boiled Heavies.
Hyrule Castle is impressive, but with that many pieces, I'm sure it would be way too expensive.
Still, this is a solid lineup and it would be cool to see Lego branch out with more videogame-themed sets, they've definitely been doing it a lot more lately (Overwatch & Mario).
I am hoping for a LEGO Sonic game. I was not able to play the one from LEGO Dimensions because I don't want to buy extra stuff to play a video game.
They need to restructure Link's face. He looks like Legolas on Link's body.
It would be awesome if they made these. I'd also love to see Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero sets, as well.
I would like a Zelda set, not whatever that is in the picture.
Give me the Goose set and I'll be happy.
I understand why they wanted to try something unique with the Mario sets, but both the Sonic and Zelda sets shown here are far more appealing to me than the new Mario ones.
The first two are definitely lookers but Hyrule Castle just looks too expensive and doesn’t really scream ‘Zelda’ to me. The King of Red Lions or the Great Deku Tree would be more iconic.
A Zelda set would be cool but I'd like Link to have a little more flair than the figure in those pics.
@Incarna Mega had the construction toy license for Pokemon in the last few years, and they have made a few sets. I'm not sure what the status of the license is now, as they seem to have stopped making Pokemon sets.
I'd much rather have Lego sets since the Mega bricks are still nowhere near Lego quality, but what can you do.
If you scroll down to the bottom of that linked Lego page, you can see the Zelda BotW Stable set from a while ago is currently being reviewed and the results should be coming soon. I actually prefer that one over this castle.
Link looks peeved about something - angry even.
I guess they were going for 'determined' but it doesn't look good.
@nessisonett Link doesn't look quite right either.
You'd think I'd be here for that Sonic set with my avatar... but nah that Untitled Goose Game set got my attention. Genuinely wasn't expecting that to be turned into a set.
Seriously, all of them look great.
@MysteryCupofJoe Glad I'm not the only one wanting a LEGO Sonic game. Been wanting one since playing the LEGO Dimensions Level Pack.
I'd love that Untitled Goose Game set, but it can't carry the game's appeal.
Y'know what would, though? A plush or better that honks, and can be set to Normal, Random, or App. Hide the plush, ready your phone, and then when your prank victim is in pla-- HONK
@ALinkttPresent yeah, it looks like the illegitimate love child of Hyrule Castle and Hogworts!
@Incarna I agree
I'm not kidding. Besides the video game related ones, I really hope that Coraline idea becomes a real set. We love the movie in our family and would be really fun to out together
Seeing what they did to Mario, I'm afraid of what they'll turn Sonic into
Zelda Lego set is an insta-purchase. Been waiting since I was kid for one, hope that these all pan out!
I love Lego, I have faith that they will do a good job on these sets, and for me it would be a purchase!
Lol Goose Game set...
That Sonic set looks great!
The Sonic and Zelda sets are the most interesting for me, but the latter will likely cost more Rupees than I'm willing to give up. I like LEGO products, but there's a reason I don't have some of the larger sets....
While not a Sonic Fan, his set looks the best.
LoZ looks too generic.
The untitled goose game looks nice, but too boring
What I need is a proper Super Mario Lego set....
@Kaas I prefer that one too! Would buy it in a heartbeat whatever the cost!
The castle is impressive, and I would love a Hyrule Castle, but it’s a bit grey and dull. Breath of the Wild was such a beautifully colourful game I’d want a set that represented that.
If we could get some WindWaker Lego though... good bye savings!!
I will purchase any/every Nintendo Lego released.
The Sonic one is very appealing.
There have been a ton of Zelda sets submitted to Lego ideas. However the best fan builds I’ve seen have probably been of guardians
Don't forget about the BOTW Stables set that's in review right now.
Hyrule Castle looks like a $200 set. Remember that Stranger Things set? Anyway, Eventide would make a good set, too.
There is also an Idea for Nook's Cranny, it does need some additional support though.

@PoorGeno More like a $ 300 set. Like the Disney castle.

@Incarna in Japan there are “nanoblock” sets which are essentially smaller LEGO. They have some awesome designed sets of all sorts of things. They even have Pokémon nanoblock sets and I’m sure they are quite popular.
The ones based on Pokémon Quest are especially fitting and cute.
I prefer the BotW stables that made it to the last 2019 review period (we’ll find out what made it through that this summer!), although the castle set is quite impressive.
The castle is neat and all and kudos to the creator but how many people would actually buy it. A cooler lego set might be a great deku tree that opens up to show a couple dungeon rooms. Maybe it comes with Epona and Navi too.
If they build off the current electronic lego Mario, I would like to see a Zelda like dungeon board game, (kind of like the dungeon builder in Link's awakening) but where some rooms had a different kind of puzzle to solve. Hire me Lego and let's have some fun!
Sonic the Fathog...
