Sign in to your TheGamer account After years of asking for it and submitting designs to Ideas, Lego finally released its first Legend of Zelda set in 2024. Now, less than two years later, Lego has quietly revealed that if you don't buy its Great Deku Tree set soon, you will have missed your opportunity. via Lego Lego doesn't typically tend to shout about when it plans on sending its older sets out to pasture. It relies on those keeping tabs on them to notice that they've had a "retiring soon" badge added to their store page, and that's exactly what has happened to Zelda's two-in-one Great Deku Tree. Related Lego Has Finally Shown Off Its Next Lord Of The Rings Set, And Its Massive Lego's Minas Tirith is real, and it's one of the biggest sets of all time. The only problem with Lego's retiring soon badge is that there's no way of knowing for sure just what "soon" means. It presumably means that it has a limited amount of stock left and that no more of that set will be produced. That means once the sets Lego currently has available are gone, that's it, the set will almost certainly never be available to buy again. At least not brand new. Not only is Zelda an incredibly popular IP - Nintendo's biggest after Mario, hence Link being selected for Lego duty - but word of the Lego Deku Tree's imminent retirement is already starting to spread. At $300, it's an expensive set. One that some people might like the look of, but have been putting off buying for as long as they can because of the price. Now those people are going to be potentially pulling the trigger, as if they don't, they will have missed their chance. via Lego That probably means this set isn't going to be around for much longer. Worst of all, even when a set is retiring, Lego doesn't typically drop the price. That almost certainly won't happen for Zelda's debut set. Lego knows that simply pointing out that it's retiring soon will drive people to buy it before it's too late. Maybe This Means More New Zelda Lego Sets Are Coming via Lego The timing of the Deku Tree set's retirement is a little odd. Although this is something of a quiet period for the Zelda series, business is about to pick up, seemingly very soon. The same source that claimed a new Star Fox game was coming also noted an Ocarina of Time remake will follow it, so since the Star Fox claims have been proven right, the feeling is that the Ocarina part of those leaks is also accurate. While an Ocarina remake hasn't been officially confirmed, we're definitely getting a Zelda movie, the release date of which was recently brought forward a week. You'd have thought Nintendo would want a big, expensive Lego set out there for new fans to buy after seeing the movie. Perhaps this means more Zelda Lego is coming. At the very least, there's the newer Zelda set released earlier this year that depicts Link's final battle against Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time.
