The 2,500-Piece Legend Of Zelda Lego Set Is Now Available At Amazon
The Great Deku Tree originally launched last September as a Lego Store exclusive, but now the first Zelda Lego set is available at major retailers, too
The Great Deku Tree Lego set comes with four minifigures, two from each game. For Ocarina of Time, you'll get Young Link with Deku Shield and Kokiri Sword accessories as well as Link with his magical ocarina. The Breath of the Wild (and Tears of the Kingdom) side of the set includes Link and Princess Zelda minifigures. Link has a sword and the Traveler's Shield, while Zelda has the Sheikah Slate.
Plenty of other brick-built characters are included as well: Koroks, Deku Babas, a Deku Sprout, Navi the Fairy, a Skulltula, and a maracas-shaking Hestu. Where things get interesting is in the finished build, as the Breath of the Wild version of the Great Deku Tree has an animated face that can be controlled with a lever on its back, while the Ocarina Of Time version has an opening mouth that reveals a Skulltula monster.
When you build the Breath of the Wild version, there's a recreation of the spot in the Lost Woods where Link retrieves the Master Sword. The Master Sword can be removed from its block pedestal and held by a Link minifigure, but this is why the set also comes with a sword that's not the Master Sword.
The Master Sword display can be removed and reconnected later if you decide to switch to the Ocarina of Time version. You'll also build Link's house from Ocarina of Time. This cool smaller-scale build and all of the minifigures are pieced together first, so even if you build the Deku Tree as seen in Breath of the Wild, you'll still have the house to display alongside it or separately.
See at Amazon See at Best Buy See at WalmartThe Great Deku Tree is part of Lego's display model series, which means it's packaged in a black box and is recommended for experienced builders. It's a fairly intricate build with lots of small and differentiated pieces. I've built all of the Nintendo-themed Lego display models, and I'd say it's slightly more detail-oriented than the other models with similar piece counts (Lego NES and Mighty Bowser).
As a longtime Zelda fan, I thoroughly enjoyed both build processes, and the finished product(s) makes for an extremely cool collectible to display.
If you haven't built a 2-in-1 Lego set before, you should know that you are building one or the other, not both. The way it works is that the first chunk of the build is the same for both models. About halfway through the process, you need to choose between the Breath of the Wild and Ocarina of Time versions of the Great Deku Tree. The Breath of the Wild build, shown above, is the larger of the two.
What I did was build the Ocarina of Time model first, partially dismantled it, and then built the Breath of the Wild version. It's well-designed, so this process of switching between the two styles isn't as bad as it may sound--just make sure you keep the pieces for each in a safe place in case you want to switch at a later date.
There are only six Nintendo-themed Lego sets categorized for adults. Beyond the Great Deku Tree, the other five kits focus on Super Mario. In October, Lego released a Super Mario World-inspired pixel art model kit featuring Mario and Yoshi. The 1,215-piece Mario and Yoshi Lego set costs $130 and is currently in stock at most major retailers. The cheapest Lego Nintendo display model is the 540-piece Piranha Plant, which is on sale for $48 at Walmart and Target (it's sold out at Amazon).
