Nintendo Officially Reveals Zelda Great Deku Tree Lego Set
Zelda Lego Set at $300: Worth the Price?
Nintendo and Lego have announced the launch of a new Legend of Zelda Lego set featuring the iconic Great Deku Tree, set to release on September 1, 2024. The set includes two versions of the tree, Zelda, and three variations of Link minifigures, totaling four characters. Priced at $300, this 2500-piece set (77092) has been highly anticipated by fans, following rumors and a leaked survey in early 2023. The announcement follows the previous releases of Mario and Animal Crossing Lego sets, fulfilling long-standing fan hopes for a Zelda-themed set.
What are the two different versions of the Great Deku Tree included in the new Lego set?
The new LEGO set features two distinct versions of the Great Deku Tree, each representing different eras from the Legend of Zelda video game series. One version of the tree is modeled after its appearance in "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," while the other version is based on its look in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." These two versions allow fans to experience and build the iconic tree as it is seen in both the classic and more recent contexts of the game series. This dual design approach caters to a broad audience of Zelda enthusiasts, offering a nostalgic touch for long-time fans and a contemporary angle for new fans.
Which characters are featured as minifigs in the new Lego set?
The new Lego Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set (77092) includes four minifigures: Link and Princess Zelda in their Breath of the Wild outfits, alongside young Link and Link from Ocarina of Time2. Additionally, there are buildable characters like Hestu the Korok and his Korok pals, Deku Babas, Navi, the Deku Sprout, and a Skulltula.
