Nintendo and Lego have announced The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree Lego set.
The Lego set will launch on September 1 for €299.99 / £259.99/ $299.99 and come in two designs with one based on the Deku Tree in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the other based on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
"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," said The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma.
"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."
Lego designer Wes Talbott added, "Our fans have been asking for a Legoset based on The Legend of Zelda series for a while so we were delighted to work with Nintendo to create the Great Deku Tree in brick form.
"As a fan of the franchise, it was great to work on this set and fill it with details and references from the games. I’m also glad we managed to offer the choice to build one of two versions to appeal to many Zelda fans. I can’t wait to see the fans reaction to this set."

you can either (a) purchase a Switch Lite with Zelda BotW & NSO (which includes almost every Zelda game from before 2003), or (b) get a nice looking Lego set.
That’s some aggressive pricing!
They charge that price cause they KNOW Zelda fans will buy it.
as somebody who has put >700hr into BotW/TotK combined, and generally consider Zelda as being a dominating series in my top favorite games of all time…not even I would fork out $300 for a premium Lego set of the Deku tree.
I agree 100%! But you just know some people out there will haha
Still not as bad as scalpers.
So glad this exists. ^^
i have a much stronger appreciation for your pfp after having played TTYD Remake.
Just preordered it :) Wil go next to my Mario and Sonic set on my shelves for my 2 small kids to "look" at!
Gaming sets are cool, but expensive. Bought my son the Horizon Forbidden West set as a surprise because he's a fan, but not until it was considerably discounted.
300$??! I figure Nintendo is getting a good bite out of that but are Lego set prices usually this expensive?
i will be purchasing this!
Pinch me I must be dreaming right now.
Damn Lego is expensive. Very cool though.
expensive and much worse quality/details as their competition (at least their LEGO Technic car models)
There's competition?
CaDA , Cobi, Panlos, Pantasy, Funwhole.... CaDA stomps LEGO with their car models. LEGO can't even manage to release licensed products properly with correct dimensions (F1 cars are a joke at some parts) but I guess for LEGO only fans or people who can't be bothered to try something else, LEGO will always be the dream company.
