The Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda is an Archived project on LEGO CUUSOO created by MINGLES on December 18th, 2011. The project reached 10,000 supporters on May 4th, 2012.
MINGLES created 3D scaled models for Zelda minifigures and sold them on Shapeways, soon he wanted an offical Legend of Zelda LEGO set. The project underwent many changes. At first, the project only contained the Legend of Zelda's main protagonist, Link, but eventually evolved so it had two new characters, a flesh tone colour for the character's skin, new items, and a model for a possible set idea.
It underwent a review, and the result was that it was archived. The reason cited was that it required too many new molds.
It was highly anticipated by many users, as they would have loved to have a LEGO Legend of Zelda set/theme. The project even had articles written about it on Kotaku, N-Europe, Cubed3, Geekologie, Zelda Dungeon, Zelda Universe, Siliconera and IGN. However, the use of many new elements, and possibly the difficulty LEGO may have had in obtaining a license from Nintendo, obstructed the possibility of this project's passage.
The project's comment section was a busy center of trivia, with new quizzesappearing aproximatly everyday. So much trivia was posted that many CUUSOO users felt that it was all just too much. It then was decided, that only certain users should be able to post trivia, and that people would have to take turns.
