Much too expensive and nothing special

September 1, 2024This build looks okay. There, I started with the positives.
Otherwise? A Ganon in the room is that this set is much, and I mean MUCH too expensive. I think like at least 50€, if not 100€ less would still not make this set worth it imo.
An average size build with 4 (!) minifigures, which are alright I guess (and I'm a big Zelda fan). Of these 4 minifigs, 2 (Zelda and BotW Link), or 1 (Young Link) or 1 (Link) are useful at any time, as they are from different timelines. There are NO enemies. You can build a few different brick built (and not looking too good) NPCs, with the tree itself being one. There's almost no play value.
Another thing is that this set IS NOT a 2 in 1 set. It's at best choose 1 and maybe see the other once, if you built it first in one day. The instructions are so bad that they're completely misunderstanding the dissasembly process of this set. Yes, you can disassemble it if you do that shortly after you build the first tree, as there still is a small chance that you will remember how it was built. Do that in a few weeks, in a year perhaps, and it will just be an excercise in frustration, as some building techniques are a bit different and instructions just tell you how to do one, or the other... With MANY left over pieces and at least 2 useless figures (of 4!!! In a 300€ set!!!).
I don't know man, just release 2 much cheaper Zelda sets and everybody would be happy, while this set imho was just greedy.
Amazing design

September 21, 2024Knowing nothing of the Zelda game I bought this on pre-order purely because of the great design features.
I can see it being a super playable set for fans of the game but I have it as a display piece and it certainly doesn't disappoint. It reminds me of the tree ents in LOTR
I built the Breath of the Wild version first and then the Ocarina of Time which is the version I want to have on display. The features of both and movement of the faces are brilliantly designed and the build is easy to follow.... but I found the 'unbuilding' was not a great experience and would have rather been able to buy each tree as a separate set. Maybe an expansion set containing the extra bricks to make both sets would be a good idea for Lego to make available as I think buying 2 sets to make both trees would be too prohibitive pricewise for a lot of people. Also I'm not keen on this new design of the box with the lid and feel it's a bit flimsy compared to the usual boxes
Delivery was good and I received my set a couple of days before the release date.
Perfect Fan Model

September 8, 2024Perfect build! Beautiful design!
Terrible price, as always now.
But…I’ve been a Zelda fan since 1988, and I’ve always built Lego MOCS since that age…it’s been 36 years of loving The Legend and Zelda and throughout the years, I’ve still loved building Zelda MOCS, especially the last few years!
I’ve beaten Ocarina Of Time (100% completion) over 50 times, and I also 100% completed Breath of the Wild!
As a SUPER FAN of The Legend of Zelda, this set is perfect at meeting all expectations I could have had for this set!
The references are numerous and perfectly done!
This is a must buy if you love Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild and you you are a Lego aficionado!
The price is over priced but not WAY overpriced thanks to the fact that you get so many side builds with the Breath of the Wild version.
I love this set, and if you can get it on sale, do so!
But…I thank Lego for making a long impossible dream a reality!!!!!
It's Dangerous to go Alone! Take This.

September 5, 2024I've been waiting for a Zelda set for years and was extremely excited to see that, with the Great Deku Tree, Zelda was finally coming to Lego. By all accounts this set is fantastic. It looks great, it was very fun to put together, and has some of the best minifigures I've ever seen by Lego. The only thing I wasn't sure about when I bought this set was if it was going to be worth that high $300 price point. I honestly spent 30 minutes debating if I should even buy it when I went to my nearest Lego store on September 1st. But after building the set and seeing all the great details that Zelda fans will love I have come to a conclusion on if this set is worth the price. I do believe it is worth $300 for huge Zelda fans but for Lego enjoyers who don't know much about Zelda I'm not sure if this set is worth the price. Overall I love this set and highly recommend it to Zelda fans!
