Rumored for quite some time, it seems Nintendo and LEGO will be collaborating again with a highly anticipated set. And perhaps not so much for the set's design itself, but for the door it will open in the form of a new family of sets, as we're talking about nothing less than the arrival of The Legend of Zelda universe.
Zelda's LEGO
The information comes from a well-known LEGO leaker, 1414falconfan, who has previously leaked several releases and now seems to be on the trail of a new set. According to information posted on his Instagram account, set number 77092 is the Great Deku Tree , slated for release in September 2024, and will consist of 2.500 pieces , making it roughly the size of a Bowser figure or a Nintendo NES.

With that size estimate, we are sure that some secrets and nods to the saga will be hidden inside, so we are looking forward to seeing the final design to clear up any doubts.
A leaked design
We must remember that just a year ago a couple of leaked images of the alleged and set appeared, and a large number of YouTube videos and publications were taken down due to rights. This obviously implied that the images were indeed real, so it was already possible to know by then what the new set would be like.

In the images you could see a fairly faithful representation of the Great Deku Tree, also including three characters that seemed to represent Zelda and Link. In addition, a second photo showed another slightly different design with the flowering tree and another composition of the interior, so perhaps we would be looking at a modifiable set with two different aspects.
How much will it cost?
Its price has not yet been revealed, but considering the number of pieces and that it is very similar to other large LEGO and Nintendo sets, the LEGO Great Deku Tree will most likely have an approximate price of 269,99 euros , although this is yet to be confirmed.
The magic of Nintendo
We have not the slightest doubt that this set will be a sales success, and you just have to look at the number of designs that LEGO has been releasing under a Nintendo license. And precisely the Japanese are not particularly generous in offering their IPs, so, if LEGO is enjoying it in a big way, it means that the benefits are being quite generous.
The introduction of the world of Zelda could be a new triumph, since the possibilities could be enormous again with everything that moves the title around it. So this could be the first of many creations. What would you like to see from Zelda with the LEGO seal?
