More than 90 years after it first made a splash in the toy market, you can turn just about anything you like intoLego. That includes a number of elements from the video game world as Mario has his very own Lego Mushroom Kingdom, and even Horizon’s Tallneck has its own set. There’s still a lot more from the video game world that can be turned into elaborate Lego sets, andGuide Stratshas created some models in an attempt to find out what some of gaming’s most famous buildings might look like if they were shrunk down and made of Lego.
The team at Guide Strats used a program called BrickLink Studio 2.0 to create virtual models of six impressive buildings from different video games. No, they’ve not taken things a step further and built them for real, but since they’ve provided descriptions of the colors needed, and even how many pieces the sets would be made up of, adept Lego fans may be tempted to try and build the sets themselves in real life.
Of the six buildings to get the Lego treatment from Guide Strats, my favorite is the Temple of Time. The first of many impressive structures you see when embarking on your journey inTears of the Kingdom, the virtual model even includes a base to represent the sky Link eventually dives into once he’s ready to return to Hyrule. Guide Strats estimates the set would be 1,845 pieces, so one of the smaller of its six virtual creations.
The largest of the six imagined sets isFinal Fantasy 15’s Altissia Palace. Clocking in at an incredible 10,580 pieces. That would make it twice the size of2023’s Avengers Tower setwhich is pretty darn big. Also included in Guide Strats set of six is Kaer Morhen fromThe Witcher 3, Citadel fromHalf-Life 2, Dragonsearch fromSkyrim, and the Academy of Raya Lucaria fromElden Ring.
Unlikely we’ll ever get an Elden Ring Lego set, but evidence continues to mount thatwe’ll be getting something new to celebrate its second anniversarynext month, even if that something isn’t more news on The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Of the six games Guide Strats has included, Zelda is the one most likely to get its own Lego set. The Great Deku Tree set rumored to be in the works for a whileresurfaced this week with a potential September 2024 release date attached.
