Front-page The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 LEGO Set officially announced

​

Last year, there were rumors of a Zelda-themed LEGO set which mentioned a 2-in-1 set including the Great Deku Tree and characters/pieces to build a setting based on either Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild. But as rumours go, this one had to be taken with a grain of salt as not much came out of it for over a year. However, there were some truth to this rumour as this week, Nintendo has revealed that particular set, which can be seen in the image above.

This 2,500-piece set can either be built as the Great Deku Tree from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It also includes other sceneries such as the Master Sword pedestal from Breath of the Wild, and Link's House from Ocarina of Time. Additional details about this set can be found in the official news excerpted below:

Notably, both builds offer interactive features. In the Breath of the Wild rendition, the Great Deku Tree's face can be animated with the simple press of a lever, while the Ocarina of Time Great Deku Tree version boasts a captivating mechanism: when activated, its mouth opens, revealing a cleverly designed Skulltula (a spider-like enemy from the games) that descends into its depths.
In the Breath of the Wild version, enthusiasts will marvel at the Great Deku Tree adorned in vibrant pink blossoms, accompanied by the iconic Master Sword pedestal. Notably, this rendition boasts an engaging feature: the ability to animate the tree's expressive eyebrows and mouth, adding depth to the build.

Meanwhile, in the Ocarina of Time version, builders will encounter a lush green foliage-adorned Great Deku Tree. This version includes Link's House, a pivotal element tied to the Ocarina of Time narrative, adding an extra layer of nostalgia and authenticity to the set. It's worth mentioning that regardless of which version you choose to build, you will have the ability to construct both the Master Sword pedestal and Link's House as smaller models.

The set includes four LEGO mini figures that showcase iconic characters from the series. In the Breath of the Wild version, Princess Zelda and Link are dressed in their recognizable blue attire. As for the Ocarina of Time rendition, you'll find both Young Link and Link. Additionally, the set includes buildable characters and creatures such as Hestu the Korok (complete with his maracas), several smaller Koroks, Deku Babas, Navi the Fairy, the Deku Sprout, and a Skulltula.

"I'm really thrilled that The Legend of Zelda is joining the world of LEGO bricks, which has spurred the creative impulses of so many people of all ages," Eiji Aonuma said. "The Deku Tree was the first element from The Legend of Zelda we wanted to represent using LEGO bricks. This set allows you to build two different versions of the Deku Tree from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with unique features that are a great fit for the nature of the series. I can't wait for everyone to get the chance to build this part of The Legend of Zelda world with their own hands."

The LEGO The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Set is available for pre-order on the official LEGO website and LEGO Stores, and will be available for purchase as from September 1st for $299.99.
