Middle Zealand

Middle Zealand is a location in The LEGO Movie. It appears to be the setting of Castle themes, especially the 2013 Castle subtheme.
==History==
Middle Zealand is a medieval world in the LEGO universe. It contains knights, castles, leeches, torture weapons, poverty, illiteracy, mutton, and dragons. A secret rainbow takes players to the hidden realm of Cloud Cuckoo Land.
===The LEGO Movie===
After escaping from Bad Cop in The Old West, Batman in his Batwing took Emmet, Wyldstyle, and Vitruvius to Middle Zealand where they nearly collide with an airborne dragon. As Batman converts the Batwing to the Batmobile, he plays his special song for Wyldstyle while making their way to the rainbow that will take them to Cloud Cuckoo Land. As they are driving, they pass another dragon helping some knights cook their food.
At the time when Wyldstyle was giving an inspirational speech for everyone to stand up to Lord Business' forces, a messenger was dictating this to some knights and a dragon. This gives them the inspiration to combine things to form devices to fight the Micro Managers.
===The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame===
Although The LEGO Movie Videogame only depicted Middle Zealand in cutscenes from the film, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame expands the area into a full explorable world. In addition to the 2013 Castle characters, Middle Zealand features a redesigned Majisto from Dragon Masters, Orcs from the 2007 Castle subtheme, and the Forest Maiden and Night Lord from Minifigures.
In the area's main story, the King of Middle Zealand gives the player a quest to retrieve the Hero's Sword, which was lost when Sir Michael the Mindless fell into the castle moat. The King gives a Royal Decree and, with Sir Stack-A-Brick's escort, the player defeats the Night Lord and takes his Mysterious Bag containing the Thing of Power. Since the Thing has dark magic, Majisto must be found to destroy it or else the Night Lord will return.
Additional sidequests are offered by Grok the Orc, the Forest Maiden, and Sir Bold.

==Notes==
* Middle Zealand's name is a reference to Middle Earth, the setting of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and New Zealand, the country where Peter Jackson's film adaptations were filmed.
* Middle Zealand apparently does not encompass the setting of Knights' Kingdom II, since "Vladek's Realm" is a separate location on President Business's map.
* In Wyldstyle's exposition, she refers to an area called "Knight's Club" represented with the box art of 70404 King's Castle. It is unclear whether Knight's Club is an alternate name for Middle Zealand.
