Lego recently announced the release of its first-ever Legend of Zelda set, the Great Deku Tree two-in-one building set. This massive set pays tribute to two iconic Zelda games, Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, with 2,500 pieces that can be used to recreate the appearance of the Great Deku Tree in both games. Priced at $300, this Lego Store-exclusive set is set to be released on September 1, with preorders currently available.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this Lego set is the inclusion of minifigures that represent both Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild versions of Link, Princess Zelda, and various brick-built characters from the games such as Koroks, Deku Babas, and more. The finished build of the Great Deku Tree set also includes some unique features, such as an animated face that can be controlled with a lever for the Breath of the Wild version, and an opening mouth revealing a Skulltula monster for the Ocarina of Time version.
According to Lego design master Wes Talbott, the decision to create the Great Deku Tree set was made to connect generations of Legend of Zelda fans. By offering a nostalgic trip down memory lane for long-time fans while also acknowledging the more current version of the game, Lego aims to show the flexibility and creativity that can be achieved with Lego bricks. This set serves as a celebration of the enduring popularity of the Legend of Zelda series and the endless possibilities of Lego building.
In addition to the Great Deku Tree set, Lego also offers a variety of other exciting sets for fans and collectors. From the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars to a wall-art-building kit of The Milky Way Galaxy and NASA’s Artemis Space Launch System, there are plenty of options to choose from. For fans of other franchises, there is even a cute Indiana Jones diorama set available for purchase.
Overall, the unveiling of the Lego Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree set marks a significant milestone for both Lego and Legend of Zelda fans. With its attention to detail, unique features, and nods to the iconic games, this set is sure to delight fans of all ages.
