This Nintendo-inspired Lego art sculpture took the author approximately four months to create and build
What would you create if I put 25,000 Lego bricks and parts in front of you and allowed you a few months to do so? You'd be more concerned if I'd poured all that plastic on you. However, one Zelda fan and Lego builder used all of those bricks to make a stunning reproduction of the original NES Legend of Zelda map.
Ian Roosma remembers The Legend of Zelda on NES fondly, telling Kotaku that it was one of the first games he ever played. So, after two years of coping with a large, blank place on one of his home's walls, Roosma felt that a Lego reproduction of the original Zelda world map would be the ideal solution to cover that emptiness.
"I was looking for something with special value to me," Roosma explained. It also had to be "complex" enough to take a long time to develop and finish. So reconstructing Zelda's map entirely out of Lego bricks felt like the ideal undertaking.
"For me, Zelda on the NES is very sentimental since it marked the beginning of open-world games." The creator just dumps the player there and you determine where you want to go and what you want to do; this is the finest form of game."
Roosma was able to find all of the individual parts he required to finish the map by using Bricklink, a website comprised of independent Lego brick vendors. Things would be more difficult because it was being rebuilt in 3D. For example, all of the rivers are somewhat lower than the surrounding terrain, and the trees range in height, providing a stronger feeling of scale and depth.
However, because of this attention to detail, the various areas of the map required a large number of components. Here are all of the components that were only used to make the trees on the map:
- There are 1,400 green cylinders.
- There are 1,400 green cones.
- 2,800 green circular 1x1 squares to give the trees varied heights
- For the trunks, 2,800 brown round 1x1
The map was completed after four months of designing and construction, and he published a video of the final project to YouTube earlier this week. The finished map is 30 inches tall and 86 inches broad.
What's next? It doesn't appear like another major Lego project is on the horizon.
"I have no plans for another enormous project, but I'm always thinking about what I might create with Legos that would have personal importance to me."
