Interestingly, LEGO and Nintendo fans have been begging for a Zelda-themed set for years, with various rumors and ideas popping up over the years.
In 2022, LEGO began blocking shipments of Zelda sets, before a Breath of the Wild set was eligible for review. Then, in February 2023, someone who was sent a marketing survey for future Lego games saw the Deku set.
The fact that Lego has been issuing warnings and removing images from the rumored set gives the rumor a bit of weight, so it is likely that this game is real.
What would the Deku set be like?
This set, supposedly called Great Deku Tree 2 in 1, would arm himself with 1,920 pieces and it is a 2 in 1. It can become the Great Deku Tree from Zelda Ocarina of Time and the one from Breath of the Wild, that have differences in the leaves and in the trunk.
It would also feature three minifigures that appear to be Child Link from Ocarina of Time, Link from Breath of the Wild and Zelda also from Breath of the Wildwith the blue outfits.
The release date is still unknown, but its price would be around, according to the survey, between 200 and 325 dollars.
