The Best LEGO Nintendo Sets for All Ages to Enjoy
The LEGO-Nintendo partnership, formalized several years ago, has yielded some of LEGO's most creative and accessible sets. Initially, LEGO targeted children with interactive Super Mario playsets and adults with nostalgic replica sets. However, the line has blurred, with newer sets for kids showcasing increased complexity and adult sets adopting a more whimsical aesthetic. This cross-generational appeal reflects Nintendo's family-friendly branding.
LEGO Nintendo's sub-themes have expanded beyond Super Mario to include Sonic the Hedgehog, Animal Crossing, and now, Zelda. Here are some standout 2025 sets:
