This might be your last chance to get the Lego Great Deku Tree for less before it withers into retirement

Hey, listen, because I think we're staring down the barrel of our last chance to get the Lego Great Deku Tree at a reasonable price... or at all, for that matter.

This Legend of Zelda model only came out a couple of years ago, but is already marked for retirement by Lego. (In many cases, it's already sold out.) That makes this current offer ahead of 2026's Prime Day Lego deals so eye-catching; the Lego Great Deku Tree is currently £40 less at Amazon, e.g. far better than its average cost. The kit almost has top billing on our list of the best Lego sets, so I don't have any qualms in recommending it if you're a fan of Hyrule. This is arguably the best gaming set out there, if you ask me - and I've built a few of them.

Because the model is sailing into the sunset very soon (it's been marked to retire by Lego, meaning it'll be gone once stock runs out), we're running out of time to grab the set... especially with such a good saving. While this isn't a record low, it isn't far off and is significantly better value than the £250-60 it normally is. I spend a lot of time tracking stock, and that knowledge coupled with the fact that this model is selling out elsewhere (it seems totally gone in the US, for example) makes me unsure we'll get another chance at such a decent price cut.

As noted in my five-star Lego Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 review, this model is a visual feast stuffed with references that fans are gonna eat up. Crucially, it's not merely a single model. Just like the name suggests, you can build it two ways; it can be the Ocarina of Time Deku Tree (complete with Skulltula) or the Breath of the Wild version that's overrun with little Koroks.

While both are fantastic, I'd argue that the Breath of the Wild model is better (and I say that as someone who grew up on Ocarina). It's more layered and is richer in Easter eggs from the source material hidden around every corner, with an utterly gorgeous forest diorama at the base including the Master Sword plinth. Thanks to the Deku Tree's pink blossom and lush woodland green everywhere else, it's also one of Lego's prettiest gaming sets. Yes, the Ocarina equivalent is fantastic. But it's gloomier by design, whereas this one really pops off the shelf.

The Lego Great Deku Tree is comparatively good value for money too. OK, I appreciate that it's still very expensive, but it's just as jaw-dropping as kits like Lego Rivendell or Minas Tirith when seen in person - despite being literally half the cost. There's a lot of brick to buck here.

Having made it personally, I'd say that it's surprisingly generous in terms of value as well. Besides the 2-in-1 tree build, there are a couple of 'mini' builds you can display regardless of the version you choose. First up is Young Link's treehouse from Ocarina of Time, complete with Young Link himself, Adult Link, and a host of items you'd collect across that game (including the famed Hylian shield, not to mention the actual Ocarina of Time). Next comes the Master Sword plinth from Breath of the Wild, which is built to sit in front of that tree but could be displayed by itself instead. This is crewed by Breath of the Wild Link and Princess Zelda, who's carrying the Shiekah Slate. In other words? Even when you choose a particular tree, you can still have your cake and eat it too in terms of references to the other game.

Honestly, I'm just shocked it's retiring so soon. Yes, we've got another Zelda kit - the final battle from Ocarina of Time - to replace it, but this kit's excellence coupled with its popularity makes that untimely death a surprise. It certainly earned a place amongst the best Legend of Zelda merch, anyway.
