A Zelda: Breath of the Wild fan has created an absurdly detailed build of Hyrule entirely out of LEGOs. The project took an immense amount of work to pull off, and fans are appreciative of the effort and showcase of how loved Breath of the Wild is.

While some players have moved on from Breath of the Wild in favor of its successor Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild started the incredible open-world experience in Hyrule. Players were given total freedom to explore and advance as they saw fit, whether they wanted to spend hundreds of hours finding every Korok in Breath of the Wild or preferred to charge straight in and challenge Ganon from the get-go. While the game is loved for many reasons, the introduction to a massive, sprawling Hyrule has remained a memorable experience for many, and it's an integral part to the success Tears of the Kingdom found.

Rumor: Nintendo May Be Revisiting Zelda: Breath of the Wild For Switch 2

Some new information from a reliable industry insider suggests Nintendo may be revisiting Breath of the Wild for the Switch successor console.

That fondness for the most recent takes on Hyrule led to this incredible creation by Reddit user __Linky__. The fan built an impressively detailed take on the Hyrule world map, and it was by no means small or limited. The player estimates the build to be about 7.5 square feet and includes nearly 15,000 LEGO pieces. They're unsure how many hours they spent on the build, though they noted that it was completed over the course of a year.

The detail here is genuinely impressive, and fans can easily scroll through the images and find their favorite landmarks. Death Mountain, Lake Hylia, Hyrule Castle, and even Zelda's Sheikah Towers can be spotted. The overhead shot of the build strongly resembles looking at the game's map, but the detail in the close-up shots is where it shines the most.

Paying Tribute to Zelda with LEGO Bricks

Fans in the comments have been struck by the complexity of the build and the amount of time that was put into it. Fellow Breath of the Wild players were happy to learn that __Linky__ plans on uploading a detailed instructions on how the piece was put together, so in theory, other fans can build their own. Some wanted the piece to become official by way of the LEGO Ideas system, but unfortunately, the build is too big to qualify.

While an official giant Zelda LEGO set may not be in the cards, the nice thing about the bricks is that fans can make just about anything with a little ingenuity and a lot of time. Given the longevity of older Zelda titles' popularity, chances are fans will continue to build massively time-consuming impressive works like these celebrating Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom in the years to come.
