LEGO's first ever Legend of Zelda set is now available for pre-order
This 2-in-1 Legend of Zelda set will cost you nearly £260!
LEGO has turned over a new leaf this week by launching its first ever set inspired by the Legend of Zelda.
From today, fans of the iconic gaming franchise will be able to pre-order The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set, based on two of the series's most-loved titles, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
This set weighs in at 2,500 pieces, costing nearly £260 – a huge investment, we know, but worth it for the most devoted fans when you get a look at the details, including changing leaves, moveable features and four mini-figures of Link, Princess Zelda and more.
Following the announcement, Eiji Aonuma, producer of The Legend of Zelda series, said: "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."
Meanwhile, LEGO designer Wes Talbott added: "Our fans have been asking for a LEGO set based on The Legend of Zelda series for a while, so we were delighted to work with Nintendo to create the Great Deku Tree in brick form."
