LEGO will officially retire the licensed Great Deku Tree The Legend of Zelda this year. The 2-in-1 Deku Tree set was not only the very first officially licensed LEGO set dedicated to The Legend of Zelda franchise, but it has also been a fan favorite ever since its announcement. With the hype for the set being very high since it was first revealed, the Deku Tree set has been one of the most used sets by fans to make something whole with its pieces.
There have been many creative builds with LEGO's Deku Tree set over the years, with the set originally coming out in September 2024. It was followed by another LEGO set inspired by Zelda game, specifically one that depicts the final battle in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. However, this set is completely different from the Deku Tree in terms of scope and purpose, as it does not have an official alternate build and only has 1,003 pieces, as opposed to the 2,500 of the Deku Tree set.

Say goodbye to LEGO's Deku Tree Zelda set
The Deku Tree set is now officially part of the Last Chance to Buy page on the LEGO website, which is dedicated to all discontinued sets. Currently, there is a confirmed date for its retirement, and it is one of the many LEGO sets retiring in 2026. Specifically, it is one of the LEGO sets retiring on July 31, 2026. LEGO sets are typically retired 18 to 36 months after their release, with an average shelf life of two years. As such, despite its short time on store shelves, the Deku Tree set isn't necessarily prematurely retired by LEGO standards, at basically 22 months.

The most likely retirement date would have been closer to the anniversary of launch, so in September 2026. LEGO sets retiring in 2026 confirm the pattern of going off the shelves closer to major product releases. There will be a launch wave this summer, as well as in the fall, around November 2026. That means moving the retiring Deku tree to summer 2026, on July 31st, less than two years since its release, makes sense by this logic. But since July 31st isn't exactly around the corner, there should be plenty of time to grab one on LEGO's website or Amazon before its official goodbye.

It is worth noting that LEGO Ocarina of Time Zelda set launched in March 2026, and there are no current plans or leaks regarding more sets for the IP this year. This means that Ocarina of time set will be available for at least another year and a half, give or take. However, there are major differences between these sets, such as their price. The Deku Tree set is priced at $299.99, while Ocarina of timeThe Final Battle set costs $129.99.
Comparing their price-to-piece ratio, the Deku Tree set comes in at around $0.12 per piece, while it's around $0.13 for Ocarina of time. Regardless, the Deku Tree set will remain very iconic for LEGO. There have been fans who have also built LEGO's Great Deku Tree with different sets, showing just how loved this kit really is. What follows is that it may also be re-released in the future, which is not too unusual for licensed sets, in particular. This is not official at this stage, but it is very likely.
