LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree Set Officially Announced for Nintendo Fans
In a significant announcement that bridges two legendary entertainment brands, the LEGO Group has officially unveiled the highly anticipated LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set.
This announcement marks an exciting development for both Nintendo fans and LEGO enthusiasts, as it brings to life one of the most iconic elements from The Legend of Zelda series, which has been a cornerstone of Nintendo’s catalog since its original debut in 1986 on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The new set pays homage to both The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, games that have found immense critical and commercial success across multiple Nintendo platforms including the Nintendo Switch. Originally surfacing online some time ago through a leaked image, the LEGO Great Deku Tree set sparked widespread speculation among fans.
Now, with LEGO’s official confirmation, expectations have been far surpassed.
The 2-in-1 design means fans can choose to assemble the Great Deku Tree as depicted in Ocarina of Time or in its Breath of the Wild form.
Each version is intricately detailed, capturing the unique art styles and characteristics from each groundbreaking title. The set includes minifigures of iconic characters: for the Ocarina of Time version, builders receive both Link and Young Link, while the Breath of the Wild configuration features Link and Princess Zelda.
Additional fan-favorite characters are also represented, such as buildable models of Koroks, the beloved woodland creatures; Hestu and Navi, known for their roles as guides and companions; and memorable adversaries like the Deku Baba and Skulltula.
In a thoughtful nod to the series, the Ocarina of Time itself is also included within the set. Speaking about the release, LEGO Group representatives highlighted their commitment to faithfully recreating the magical world of The Legend of Zelda: "Our collaboration with Nintendo strives to bring fans of The Legend of Zelda an immersive building experience with attention to detail and playability that honors the series’ legacy." This focus aligns with Nintendo’s tradition of high-quality partnerships, evident in previous collaborations like the LEGO Super Mario series, which has consistently performed well in global sales figures since its debut on the eShop and through retail channels. The LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set is scheduled for release on September 1, 2024, and will be available for $299.99.
With demand for Nintendo Switch games and collectibles at an all-time high, this set is expected to become a must-have centerpiece for collectors and longtime fans alike.
The collaboration not only underscores the enduring appeal of The Legend of Zelda franchise but also demonstrates the ongoing success and innovation of both LEGO Group and Nintendo in engaging audiences across generations. For updates on official launches, sales milestones, and future Nintendo Direct announcements, keep an eye on the LEGO and Nintendo sections of the eShop and official news channels.
