Starting February 4th, you may pre-order semi-official sets through Bricklink Designer Program 4. This program is similar to LEGO Ideas, but the set design and instructions are fully done by the creator. When you buy the set, you do so through lego.com. They are only available for pre-order. In the past, the castle sets have sold out in the first hour or so.

There is more information, including part-count, price and the third set on the forum.

Years after LEGO and Nintendo released the LEGO Mario line, they have announced the first Zelda LEGO set. Many wonderful creations have been submitted to LEGO ideas and were never chosen. The wait is over in September with 77092 Great Deku Tree. It'll set you back $300 USD and is available for preorders now.

The set comes with 4 minifigures: one Zelda and three Link minifigures! (Ocarina of Time child, adult and Breath of the Wild)

This is a '2 in 1' set as you can build the Great Deku tree as it was in either Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild. In addition to the custom Link minifigure, we get printed/custom parts for the Master sword, Hylian shield, wooden shield and several Korok faces and an ocarina.

Was the wait worth it? Let us know on the forum.

Ocarina of Time Variation
