Lego's new 2-in-1 set pays an "epic homage" to "The Legend of Zelda" video game series by allowing fans to build the Great Deku Tree.
The Lego Group unveiled the 2,500-piece set Tuesday saying it "encapsulates the essence of adventure and nostalgia whilst featuring meticulous details." Buyers of the set will have the option to build the Great Deku Tree from "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" or from "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," the toy company said in a news release.
The set is available to preorder for $299.99, Lego's online shop shows. Fans who don't preorder the set will be able to purchase it on Sept. 1.
Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set will allow fans to recreate 'iconic sceneries'
In addition to the Great Deku Tree, the set will allow fans to recreate and customize "iconic sceneries" from the video game series, including the Master Sword pedestal from "Breath of the Wild" and Link's House from "Ocarina of Time," Lego said.
"The build is elegantly mounted on stands, providing an effortless showcase of the set," according to the release.
Both builds of the set will be interactive with the "Breath of the Wild" rendition allowing the Great Deku Tree's Face to be animated by pressing a lever, while the "Ocarina of Time" Great Deku Tree's mouth opens revealing a Skulltula creature that "descends into its depths," Lego said.
Regardless of which version of the set fans choose to build, they will have the ability to construct both the Master Sword pedestal and Link’s House as smaller models, according to the release.
'I’m really thrilled that The Legend of Zelda is joining the world of Lego bricks'
Lego Minifigures come with the set, including Princess Zelda and Link dressed in their blue attire from "Breath of the Wild," and Young Link and Link from "Ocarina of Time," the toy company said. Buildable characters and creatures, such as Hestu the Korok, several smaller Koroks, Deku Babas, Navi the Fairy, the Deky Sprout and a Skulltula are also included, the Lego Group added.
"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," Eiji Aonuma, producer of "The Legend of Zelda" series at Nintendo, said in the release. "... I can’t wait for everyone to get the chance to build this part of The Legend of Zelda world with their own hands."
