Earlier this week, LEGO introduced a fantastic new addition to their lineup: The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Set. This 2,500-piece marvel is a tribute to the iconic Great Deku Tree from Nintendo’s beloved Zelda series, allowing you to build the Great Deku Tree from either The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s a perfect blend of nostalgia and adventure, offering fans a chance to relive their favorite moments from both games.
The set includes iconic scenes such as the Master Sword pedestal from Breath of the Wild and Link’s House from Ocarina of Time, providing endless customization options for your display. Take a look at the photo gallery below for a more in-depth look at this incredibly awesome brick creation.
What makes this set even more exciting are its interactive features. In the Breath of the Wild version, you can animate the Great Deku Tree’s face with a simple lever press. The Ocarina of Time version features a mechanism that opens the tree’s mouth to reveal a descending Skulltula, adding an element of surprise and fun to your build.
The set comes with four LEGO minifigures: Princess Zelda and Link in their Breath of the Wild attire, and Young and Adult Link from Ocarina of Time. But that’s not all! You’ll also get buildable characters such as Hestu the Korok, smaller Koroks, Deku Babas, Navi the Fairy, the Deku Sprout, and a Skulltula. Each figure adds an extra layer of detail and authenticity to this magnificent set.
Eiji Aonuma, Producer of The Legend of Zelda series at Nintendo Co., Ltd, shared his excitement about the collaboration: “I’m thrilled that The Legend of Zelda is joining the world of LEGO bricks, inspiring creativity in fans of all ages. This set lets you build two versions of the Deku Tree, each with unique features fitting the series’ nature.”
LEGO Designer Wes Talbott also expressed his enthusiasm saying “our fans have long requested a LEGO set based on The Legend of Zelda series. Collaborating with Nintendo to create the Great Deku Tree in brick form was fantastic. We’re excited to offer the choice of building two versions to appeal to many Zelda fans.”
The LEGO The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Set is available for pre-order from May 28, 2024, at www.LEGO.com/Zelda and LEGO Stores. It will be officially released on September 1, 2024, and is priced at €299.99 / £259.99 / $299.99.
