LEGO fans have been trying to get a Legend of Zelda set for years, and since LEGO has recently teamed-up with Nintendo for some Super Mario merch, it was only a matter of time before they released an official LOZ set.
Now LEGO has officially revealed it. Check out the announcement:

According to The Verge, The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set will have 2500 pieces and will cost USD 299.99. The set actually draws inspiration from two mainline Zelda games—Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild; and you can change the foliage of the Deku Tree to be either pink or green.
As far as minifigs go, there will be three different versions of Link uncluding a child and adult version from Ocarina of Time with the green tunic, and a Breath of the Wild version with the blue tunic. Of course, it also wouldn’t be Legend of Zelda if there wasn’t a minifig of Zelda as well.
The first ever LEGO Legend of Zelda set will release on September 1.

Looking at the set, there are also several callbacks to the games including a skulltula and koroks. You can even see Hestu playing with some maracas and some fairies who may offer some unsolicited advice.
This should be a great set for longtime LEGO/Zelda fans, but hopefully we get some more diverse kits to coincide with the release of the live-action Legend of Zelda movie which is currently in the works with director Wes Ball.
LEGO’s Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set based on The Legend of Zelda is expected to start shipping out this September.
