Here is the official announcement:
This 2,500-piece set encapsulates the essence of adventure and nostalgia while incorporating precise details. Fans can create a selection of their favorite moments from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by building and exploring the depths of the Great Deku Tree. In addition to the Great Deku Tree, the set features iconic scenery from the video games, including the Master Sword pedestal from Breath of the Wild, as well as Link’s house from Ocarina of Time, allowing enthusiasts the freedom to customize their display. The structure is elegantly mounted on stands, providing a hassle-free display of the set.
It should be noted that both versions offer interactive features. In Breath of the Wild, the Great Deku Tree’s face can be animated with a simple push of a lever, while the Ocarina of Time Great Deku Tree version features a fascinating mechanism: when activated, its mouth opens to reveal a cleverly designed Skulltula (spider-like an enemy from the games) that descends into its depths.
In the Breath of the Wild version, enthusiasts will admire the Great Deku Tree adorned with vibrant pink blossoms, accompanied by the iconic Master Sword pedestal. It should be noted that this rendering boasts one attractive 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 come across a Large Deku Tree adorned with lush green foliage. This version features Link’s House, a staple of 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’ll have the option to build both the Master Sword Pedestal and Link’s House as smaller models.
Eiji Aonuma, The Legend of Zelda series producer at Nintendo, commented: “I’m really excited that The Legend of Zelda is joining the world of LEGO bricks, which stimulate the creative impulses of so many people of all ages.
“The Deku Tree was the first element of The Legend of Zelda that 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 fit the nature of the series perfectly. I can’t wait for everyone to get the chance to build this part of The Legend of Zelda world with their own hands.”
