Here is something from last Tuesday's Zelda Direct that I have yet to discuss: they have briefly announced a third The Legend of Zelda LEGO set – one for Link & Epona from Ocarina of Time. Unlike the other two sets, this is more of a small statue, which you can put on display, similar to all those LEGO flower bouquets or the Game Boy.
It's interesting that they have chosen this particular pose, because Link raising his sword while he sits on Epona is first and foremost reminding you of Twilight Princess, because that's the Zelda game that did it first. However, an original artwork for Ocarina of Time exists with a similar pose:
So, it was likely based on that, while also going more into the direction of that famous Twilight Princess moment on Eldin Bridge. But I suppose that they have preferred Ocarina of Time here for various reasons. It's the Zelda game that introduced Epona, it's getting a remake for the 40th Anniversary, and it's probably a better match for all that plastic, visually.
Still, it would be nice if the LEGO sets were to show more variety in the future when it comes to the representation of the Zelda series. If they are just going for Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, because these are the two most popular Zelda game, it's going to get boring eventually.
