Rumor: Zelda's Great Deku Tree set by Lego drops this year

Excitement builds within The Legend of Zelda fan community as leaks suggest a Great Deku Tree Lego set may debut in 2024. Known Lego leaker, 1414falconfan, indicates a release this September with the potential for two versions of the iconic tree from the series, representing scenes from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, complete with mini-figures of Link and Zelda. Despite a lack of official confirmation, the rumor gains credibility from Lego's previous copyright action against shared images of such a set. The collaboration between Nintendo and Lego is expected to continue the success of their prior ventures, which began with the innovative Super Mario sets released in 2020, featuring interactive elements like screens and NFC chips.
