The rumors were true: Lego is finally making a Legend of Zelda set. The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 includes 2,500 pieces, is available for preorder now for $299.99, and will start shipping out in September.
The set covers two different Zelda games: Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, letting you build the Great Deku Tree in green summer foliage or pink spring cherry blossoms. It features several versions of Link, including Link as a child and an adult in Ocarina of Time’s green Hero of Time tunic and Link in Breath of the Wild’s blue Champion’s tunic.
According to Lego, the Great Deku Tree set will have interactive features including the ability to animate the tree’s facial expressions. The set also includes a skulltula, koroks, Hestu waving his signature maracas, fairies, and Princess Zelda herself.
Several Nintendo properties including Animal Crossing, Mario, and Donkey Kong have gotten the Lego treatment in recent years. There’s been pent-up demand: Lego has rejected fan-submitted ideas for a Zelda-themed set for years, going so far as to outright ban Zelda submissions back in 2022 due to “license conflict.” However, rumors regarding an official Zelda Lego set started popping up in February of last year.
