Update (Wed 23rd June, 2021): Matthias Bartsch, the builder of this impressive piece, has added the Temple of Time build to LEGO Ideas, complete with building instructions — so you can both vote on it for the chance of it becoming a real LEGO set, and also just build it yourself!

[Original article (Wed 10th March, 2021): We know it's Mario Day and all that, but we'd just like to say - how come Mario gets his own LEGO set, but the vastly superior Legend of Zelda series struggles to get any of its fan-made designs past the review stages at LEGO HQ? It's a travesty, is what it is.

Maybe it's for the best, though, since we can't imagine an official LEGO Zelda set better than the ones Matthias Bartsch has been making. His latest is the Temple of Time from Ocarina of Time, featuring teeny-tiny recreations of the Master Sword and the Spiritual Stones that open the Door of Time.

In the past, Bartsch has also built the Clock Tower from Majora's Mask, complete with rotating clock faces, and Wind Waker's Tower of the Gods, which you can make canonically accurate by putting it in the bath.
