LEGO’s latest The Legend of Zelda set isn’t even out, and yet it’s already been marked as an essential 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 pushes the young collection into pretty rarified air. LEGO’s Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle retroactively makes the Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set even more of a grail.
The timing here is what stands out most, as LEGO’s Nintendo lineup has evolved over the last six years from novelty crossovers into serious, display-driven sets aimed at adult fans. And set #77093, The Ocarina of Time Final Battle lands right next to the already ambitious Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 in a way that doubles down on this evolution. Particularly because this premium Zelda build, alongside the Deku Tree, manages to complete the major character list 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 is treating 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 isn’t as weighty as its predecessor. The ruined castle tower, with its collapsing rubble and hidden Recovery Hearts, pulls beautifully from the game’s visual language, though, and the push-button Ganondorf reveal is a smart touch, turning a classic boss fight moment into something you can actually interact with.
The minifigure selection is what really anchors the set into must-have status, however. Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are joined by a brick-built Ganon that actually delivers on scale, and a very cute Navi stud that’s a great translation of the kind of detail longtime fans pick up on right away. With the Master Sword, Megaton Hammer, and Hylian Shield all present, the set on its own is a great tribute to Ocarina of Time.
A Special Set Made Essential
At $299.99 and 2,500 pieces, the Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 was an ambitious introduction to Zelda sets for LEGO. The option to build either the 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 piece. Nonetheless, for a lot of collectors, particularly those more in the general Nintendo camp, it still felt more like a luxury than a necessity as a standalone LEGO set.
The arrival of the new LEGO Zelda set changes that equation. It redefines the Deku Tree set in many ways, firstly as the narrative counterbalance to Ganon’s castle. Built in its Ocarina of Time form, it marks the beginning of Link’s journey, now directly paired with the story’s endpoint. LEGO Zelda collectors will already have a complete arc in two sets, and the intentionality of that decision shouldn’t go unnoticed.
Completing the Ocarina of Time Cast in Brick Form
Secondly, and arguably just as importantly, these two sets let fans collect the entire main cast of Ocarina of Time in LEGO form:
- Young Link
- Adult Link
- Zelda
- Ganondorf
- Ganon
- Navi
- Deku Tree (plus Sprout and Skulltula)
For a title that’s constantly ranked among the best video games ever made, this kind of back-to-back, no-nonsense representation feels like a straightforward nod to that legacy. The sense of completeness offered by the upcoming set also elevates the Deku Tree 2-in-1 from a premium set to a potential grail.
Full minifigure lineups are no small matter to 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 acts as the anchor for any Ocarina of Time display, with The Final Battle as the finishing piece, and it works to everyone’s benefit, including LEGO. Having one without the other suddenly feels like something’s missing.
Why This Pairing Matters to LEGO Collectors
LEGO’s track record shows that sets tied to iconic moments or objects—especially those that are hard to revisit in different contexts—often see their value climb over time. Nintendo licenses are expensive and tightly managed, so they rarely get reissued in the same way, if not for the most successful sets ever (looking at Star Wars, here). Another Legend of Zelda wave may eventually come along, but getting this specific Ocarina of Time lineup again would be a tough sell, especially with so much more coverable ground in the franchise.
LEGO’s Zelda Line Feels Like It’s Just Getting Started
That wealth of opportunity is also what makes this moment even more inviting; LEGO clearly isn’t finished with The Legend of Zelda. The company knows that adult Nintendo fans are willing to invest in big, display-oriented sets, and Zelda as a franchise is filled with opportunities for builds of that kind. More builds are likely to come, whether from Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, or Wind Waker, and these two Ocarina of Time sets will almost certainly be seen as the foundation for LEGO’s continued Zelda era.
That likelihood naturally adds to the importance of these two sets. Early cornerstone sets in a licensed theme tend to age the best, especially when they capture the franchise’s most recognizable elements. LEGO has given Ocarina of Time a really meaningful spot in its catalog, and even as the lineup grows, these sets will benefit from their unique place in that canon.
A Zelda Holy Grail Hiding in Plain Sight
The Final Battle might be the more relevant release right now, but the fact is that its real impact on the collector is pretty much inseparable from the Deku Tree 2-in-1. Rounding out the Ocarina of Time story and cast, it turns the earlier set into something much more significant. For both LEGO and Nintendo fans, this pairing is a rare instance where nostalgia, design ambition, and collector’s instincts align.
