We Build LEGO Great Deku Tree, the First Legend of Zelda Set in LEGO History

We Build LEGO Great Deku Tree, the First Legend of Zelda Set in LEGO History


At last. The LEGO Great Deku Tree, available exclusively at the LEGO Store, is the first of its kind – a Nintendo-themed set that doesn’t concern a certain turtle-stomping, mustachioed plumber. Instead, we’re transported to a medieval land ruled by prophecy, fate, and magic. For thousands of years, our heroes, Link and Zelda, have saved Hyrule from the forces of evil.

With this 2-in-1 set, you can build the Great Deku Tree in the style of Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild with the same pieces.

The Great Deku Tree was a key ally in four of their most acclaimed adventures: Ocarina of Time (1998), The Wind Waker (2003), Breath of the Wild (2017), and Tears of the Kingdom (2023). And accordingly, this set includes Easter eggs from across the franchise. It would appeal to any 3D Zelda fan, regardless of which series entry they grew up exploring.

The LEGO Great Deku Tree gives you two build options. In the first option, you build the Tree as it appeared in Ocarina of Time, where, in its dying moments, it summoned Link and sent him on his quest to defeat Ganon. The first boss battle, against the Queen Gohma, takes place inside the Tree.

In the second option, you build the Tree as it appeared in Breath of the Wild, standing watch over the Master Sword. This iteration of the Great Deku Tree is covered in pink leaves rather than green, and its root structure is more extensive and tangled, although its base is less solid and stout, like a swamp tree that’s evolved to survive in water. Perhaps over thousands of years, the ecosystem of the forest changed, even as the characters that inhabited it recurred.
