LEGO Legend of Zelda Deku Tree Set: Expected Release and Details for Nintendo Fans The convergence of two of the world’s most iconic entertainment brands—LEGOs and Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda—continues to excite gamers and collectors alike.

Last year, whispers of a LEGO set based on The Legend of Zelda’s legendary Deku Tree captivated fan communities across the globe.

As 2024 unfolds, new details have emerged regarding this anticipated addition to the LEGO Nintendo collection. The source of the renewed anticipation comes from LEGO insider and frequently accurate leaker, known as '1414falconfan' on Instagram.

According to statements recently shared on social platforms, LEGO is reportedly planning to release a Legend of Zelda Deku Tree set in September 2024, featuring an impressive 2,500 pieces.

While fans have long hoped for a Zelda-themed centerpiece to join LEGO's acclaimed Nintendo lineup—which already boasts sets themed on the Nintendo Switch, Super Mario, and more—the Deku Tree build represents a significant milestone for both brands, should the project reach shelves this year. The initial rumor traces its roots to a marketing survey conducted last year, where several potential LEGO projects were evaluated for fan interest.

Notably, initial reports suggested the Deku Tree set could offer a 2-in-1 building experience.

This would mean builders could choose between creating a version of the iconic tree as it appears in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or as depicted in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild—two critically acclaimed titles that have solidified the Deku Tree’s legacy within the Zelda franchise. However, pursuing official information has proven challenging.

Media previously sharing purported images and video of the LEGO Deku Tree set have since removed the content, reportedly following copyright claims from LEGO.

As is common with unreleased and unconfirmed projects, fans are advised to approach these details cautiously until either LEGO or Nintendo issues a formal announcement.

The LEGO Group enforces its copyright rigorously, especially when it comes to leaks of high-profile sets tying into intellectual property like the Switch's bestselling Legend of Zelda series. Until confirmation arrives, the excitement underscores a broader trend of collaboration between LEGO and Nintendo, with both companies enjoying record-breaking sales.

The Legend of Zelda series itself has sold over 140 million units worldwide as of 2023, with prominent recent entries available on the Nintendo Switch.

Their continued partnership, highlighted in Nintendo Direct presentations and across the eShop, keeps fans eager for further crossovers that combine beloved video game worlds with the tactile joy of LEGO building. As of this writing, neither Nintendo nor LEGO has released an official statement regarding the rumored Legend of Zelda Deku Tree LEGO set.

Fans should stay tuned to official channels and trusted gaming news outlets for verified updates and announcements.
