Recreating Scenes From the Legend of Zelda
The LEGO set will allow fans to build the Great Deku Tree in two distinct styles that reflect its appearances in the games, “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” and more recently, “Breath of the Wild.”
This 2-in-1 set contains 2,500 pieces and features iconic spots from the game, including Link’s House and Master Sword. Fans can combine these elements and fix them on the stands to depict these scenes with accuracy.

The version in Ocarina of Time has a gadget that summons the tree to open its mouth and show a Skulltula, a spider-like enemy. However, the mechanism is different in the version of Breath of the Wild, which enables the tree to open and close its eyes and mouth.
