LEGOs latest The Legend of Zelda set is not even, and yet it has already been marked as an important one for fans of Ocarina of time. Two sets into that franchise, fans not only have a centerpiece that actually feels worthy of its reputation, but another set that propels the young collection into some pretty cool air. LEGOpp Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle retroactively do Amazing Deku Tree 2-in-1 put even more of a grail.
The timing here is what stands out the most, as LEGO's Nintendo range has evolved over the past six years from novelty crossovers to serious, display-driven sets aimed at adult fans. And set #77093, The Ocarina of Time Final Battle landing right next to the already ambitious Amazing Deku Tree 2-in-1 in a way that doubles this development. Especially since this premium Zelda build, together with the Deku tree, manages to complete the list of great characters for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
LEGO gives Ocarina of Time the treatment it deserves
The final battle set makes it clear that LEGO treats Ocarina of time with a level of respect usually reserved for its most iconic licenses, as it should. At 1,003 pieces and $129.99, it's substantial, but not particularly overwhelming, which is a blessing and a curse; the set doesn't feel inaccessible, but it's not as heavy as its predecessor. However, the ruined castle tower, with its collapsing rubble and hidden Recovery Hearts, pulls beautifully from the game's visual language, and the push button Ganondorf reveal is a smart touch that turns a classic boss fight moment into something you can actually interact with.
However, the choice of minifigures is what really anchors the set to must-have status. Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are joined by a brick-built Ganon that actually delivers on a grand scale, and a very sweet Navi dub that's a good translation of the kind of details that longtime fans pick up on right away. With the Master Sword, Megaton Hammer and Hylian Shield all present, the set itself is a huge homage to Ocarina of time.
A special set that is necessary
For $299.99 and 2,500 pieces Amazing Deku Tree 2-in-1 was an ambitious introduction to Zelda set for LEGO. The possibility to build either Ocarina of time or Breath of the Wild version gave it versatility and a strong nostalgia factor for adult collectors looking for a premium display. Still, for many collectors, especially those more in the general Nintendo camp, it still felt more like a luxury than a necessity like a standalone LEGO set.
The arrival of the new LEGO Zelda set changes in that equation. It redefines the Deku Tree set in many ways, firstly as the narrative counterweight to Ganon's castle. Built into its Ocarina of time form, it marks the beginning of Link's journey, now directly connected to the end point of the story. LEGO Zelda collectors will already have an entire arc in two sets, and the intent of that decision shouldn't go unnoticed.
Complete the Ocarina of Time Cast in brick form
Second, and arguably just as important, these two sets allow fans to collect the entire main cast Ocarina of time in LEGO form:
-
Young link
-
Adult link
-
Zelda
-
Ganondorf
-
Gangster
-
Navi
-
Deku Tree (plus Sprout and Skulltula)
For a title that consistently ranks among the best video games ever made, this kind of back-to-back, no-nonsense representation feels like a direct nod to that legacy. The sense of completeness offered by the upcoming set also elevates Deku Tree 2-in-1 from a premium set to a potential grail.
Complete minifigure lineups are no small thing for LEGO collectors, and demand tends to jump when a complete collection becomes a possibility, even if it's just for the main cast of characters for that line. The Deku Tree 2-in-1 now serves as an anchor for any Ocarina of time display, incl The final battle in closing, and it works to everyone's advantage, including LEGO. Having one without the other suddenly feels like something is missing.
Why this pairing is important to LEGO collectors
LEGO's track record shows that sets tied to iconic moments or objects – especially those that are difficult to revisit in different contexts – often see their value rise over time. Nintendo licenses are expensive and carefully managed, so they rarely get re-released in the same way, unless for the most successful sets ever (if you look at Star Warshere). Another The Legend of Zelda the wave may come eventually, but to get this specific Ocarina of time lineup again would be a tough sell, especially with so much more ground to cover in the franchise.
LEGO's Zelda Line feels like it's just getting started
That wealth of possibilities is also what makes this moment even more inviting; LEGO is clearly not done with The Legend of Zelda. The company knows that adult Nintendo fans are willing to invest in large, display-oriented sets, and Zelda as a franchise is filled with opportunities for such builds. More builds are likely to come, whether from Majora's mask, Twilight Princessor Wind Wakerand these two Ocarina of time set will almost certainly be seen as the foundation for LEGO going forward Zelda era.
This probability naturally increases the importance of these two sets. Early cornerstone sets in a licensed theme tend to age best, especially when they capture the franchise's most recognizable elements. LEGO has provided Ocarina of time a truly meaningful place in its catalog, and even as the range grows, these sets will benefit from their unique place in that canon.
A holy grail from Zelda is hiding in plain sight
The final battle may be the more relevant release right now, but the fact is that its true impact on the collector is quite inseparable from Deku Tree 2-in-1. Rounding off Ocarina of time story and cast, it transforms the previous set into something much more significant. For LEGO and Nintendo fans alike, this pairing is a rare case where nostalgia, design ambitions and collector instincts align.
