Nintendo and Lego have teamed up to create a new Legend of Zelda set featuring the iconic Great Deku Tree. The 2,500-piece set allows builders to create two versions of the tree, one from “Ocarina of Time” and the other from “Breath of the Wild.”
The set includes four minifigures: Link as a child and an adult in his green Hero of Time tunic from “Ocarina of Time,” as well as Link in his blue Champion’s tunic and Princess Zelda from “Breath of the Wild.” Builders can also enjoy interactive features, such as animating the tree’s facial expressions and revealing a descending Skulltula. Eiji Aonuma, the producer of The Legend of Zelda series at Nintendo, expressed his excitement about the new set. “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,” he said.

“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.”
In addition to the minifigures and interactive elements, the set features buildable characters and creatures such as Hestu the Korok with his maracas, several smaller Koroks, Deku Babas, Navi the Fairy, the Deku Sprout, and a Skulltula. Iconic sceneries from the video games, like the Master Sword pedestal from “Breath of the Wild” and Link’s House from “Ocarina of Time,” are also included, allowing fans to customize their display. The Great Deku Tree set will be available for purchase starting September 1, 2024, with a price tag of $299.99 / £259.99 / €299.99. Fans can preorder the set directly from Lego. This long-awaited addition to the Lego lineup offers both nostalgia and interactive play elements for builders of all ages, bringing a piece of Hyrule into their homes.
