Here is my review on LEGO The Legend of Zelda 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1: THE GOOD: It's a great diorama type set with a challenging yet fun build. The Deku tree is done exceptionally well with a the little details recreated using existing lego pieces. New exclusive element and print that would make Zelda fans happy. Excellent minifigures. Full of excellent references to the game. THE NOT SO GOOD: The price is steep and may be too steep for some. The 2 small trees around deku tree can be a frustrating build. Due to the complexity of the default build, deconstructing to build the other version is not practical. As a fan of the game, this set is a dream comes true. And I decided to build the Breath of the Wild configuration. First this set is massive, you can't really tell the true size from pictures. At first I thought needed more leaves but in the end it looks stunning. And the area keeping the master sword gave this set such a good depth. The whole area is packed with references to game and details with surprising building Techniques. Although some part between the green and water could use a bit more textures for a smoother transition. The Deku tree itself is a challenging build, especially the action feature. It does look simple but it uses so many small pieces to make it work. It took me an hour to build that. The most impressive parts though is how they use LEGO pieces without stickers or print to create an exterior with details that capture the vibe of the game so well. From the mixture of new flesh colour leaves with pink leaves to the big roots of Deku tree. The Great Deku tree also comes with some interior details that are full of cool references to the game executed so well. From the mushroom shop to the Koroks, everything just great. Having said that, the 2 small trees around Deku tree can be frustrating to build. While both looks great but the use of candle piece and existing branches piece really makes it a mission to build. Aside from the Deku Tree, you also get to build Link's house from Ocarina of Time. It's a small build but it has a crates with iconic items. From brick built hookshot to a brand new shield piece for the Hylian shield. Now the minifigures, while it's a bit boring to have 3 Links but it all makes sense. From Link to princess Zelda, all are excellent minifigures. I do wish they make one more variant of Link head with eye closed given they included an Ocarina of Time. The ocarina though, probably one shade too blue. Otherwise I really appreciate the effort of making so many new parts without stickers. Despite I chose to build the BOTW version, bag 23 does allow you to build some of the iconic items and creatures from Ocarina of Time. However, in order to build the Ocarina of Time version of Deku Tree, it is not practical at all given the complexities involved in being Deku Tree and you will need some effort to deconstruct it. So I would not say this is 2 in 1 at all. Basically you will need to choose up front of which version you prefer, or you have to buy 2. And that's the problem because this set is expensive. Even as a fan and very happy with the day, I wish it's $100NZD cheaper. And this set is truely made for Zelda fans, it's very hard sell to people have never experience the game as most of the impressive parts of this set only makes sense if you have played the game before. In the end, definitely a set I would recommend to all Zelda fans out there but it will be a hard sell for people who doesn't know much about Zelda. Now my question is, will LEGO make more?

[MOC] Tower of the Gods from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
matterich posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I have added a new model to my collection of MOCs from The Legend of Zelda video game series. After the Temple of Time from Ocarina of Time (left) and the Clock Tower from Majora's Mask (middle) I have now built the Tower of the Gods from The Wind Waker (right): I started designing this model about two years ago (using Studio), but never got around to finishing it. So I decided to make some good use of all the free time I had during lockdowns and over the Christmas holidays to finally get this project done. I am pretty happy with how it turned out and it's nice to finally be able to put it into my shelf. Here are some more pictures: The top of the tower houses the boss room where Link has to defeat Gohdan: Another look at the interior: The tower splits into three sections and one of the floors can be taken out in order to access the room below: If you are interested in my next projects, here is my Flickr account. If you have any feedback or suggestions, I would be glad to hear your thoughts! -
I'm a huge fan of The Legend of ZELDA. After the Temple of Time from Ocarina ot Time (see my last post) i also built the Clock Tower from Majora's Mask. To stay as true to the game as possible i included two functions: The clock is connected to the gears on the side as well as the tip of the tower with a mechanism that can be activated by turning a knob in the back of the tower to make the clock "tick". You can find a video demonstration here (unfortunately I couldn't figure out a way to embed it properly). The clock can be lifted up and tipped over for the final showdown on top of the tower against horror kid - see video here. As an additional tiny detail I included the owl statue next to the tower that functions as a save point/warp point in the game. My next project will be the Tower of the Gods from The Wind Waker. If you are interested in how it will turn out, you can follow me on Flickr.

[MOC] Temple of Time from ZELDA - Ocarina of Time
matterich posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, this is my micro scale version of the Temple of Time from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I've been working on the design on and off for probably more than a year using LDD and Studio until i finally ordered the pieces from Bricklink to actually build it. This is what the temple looks like in the game: The Lego model opens in the front and in the back to reveal the interior including the three Spiritual Stones, the Door of Time and of course the Master Sword: I am currently also building the Clock Tower from Majora's Mask (including moving clock faces and the transformation function) and working on the design for the Tower of the Gods from Wind Waker. I will share pictures of those as soon as they are built! Flickr PS: I wasn't sure which forum to post this in. If it would better fit somewhere else please let me know - thanks :)
