LEGO x Zelda Great Deku Tree Set Early Details

1414falconfan's credibility in the LEGO community is well-established, and has made some accurate calls in the past. This track record lends a degree of reliability to the current rumor. If proven true, this set would represent the first official joint endeavor between Nintendo and LEGO specifically featuring the Zelda franchise.

According to 1414falconfan, the proposed LEGO model is expected to be a substantial build, comprising approximately 2,500 pieces. This scale suggests a detailed and intricate representation of the Great Deku Tree, a centerpiece throughout the Zelda lore, that provides insight and items in earlier installments of the franchise. Recently, the Tears of the Kingdom Great Deku Tree points Link in the direction of the Master Sword, making his help invaluable in your journey.

Notable Nintendo x LEGO Collaborations

While a Great Deku Tree Zelda LEGO set would be the first for the franchise, this isn't the first time LEGO has partnered with Nintendo to bring a fan-favorite character or IP to life.

Donkey Kong LEGO Set

Late last year, a Donkey Kong-themed set that captures the essence of the original DK arcade game surfaced for a community vote, aiming to turn the fan-inspired design into a reality.

The Original Donkey Kong is Close to Getting the LEGO Treatment

While there is no official confirmation of that set moving forward past the idea stage, DK has received several previous LEGO expansion sets, including the Diddy Kong's Mine Cart Ride, Donkey Kong Tree House, and Dixie Kong's Jungle Jam, to name a few.

Animal Crossing LEGO Sets

The latest Nintendo franchise to receive the LEGO treatment is Animal Crossing, with sets debuting in March 2024. The upcoming release will feature several fan-favorites, including Julian's Birthday Party, Bunnie's Outdoor Activities, Isabelle's House Visit, and Nook's Cranny & Rosie's House, among others. Pricing for the sets will vary across the board.
