...Open your eyes... and your wallet. Lego and Nintendo have announced the first-ever building set based on The Legend of Zelda franchise, a brickified model of the Great Deku Tree that's accompanied by Link and Princess Zelda minifigurines. It's priced at $299.99 — the same as a regular (non-OLED) Nintendo Switch, for the record — and it's set for release on Sept. 1, if you're looking for a good Labor Day weekend project. Preorders are now live exclusively in the Lego Store.

Geared toward ages 18 and up, the 2,500-piece set can be built two different ways based on the Great Deku Tree's two appearances in the Zeldaseries. The Ocarina of Timeversion features green leaves, a drop-down Skulltula enemy, and a miniature model of Link's House, while the Breath of the Wildone has a rootier design, pink blossoms, a moving face, and a miniature model of the Master Sword pedestal.

"Our fans have been asking for a Lego set based on The Legend of Zeldaseries for a while so we were delighted to work with Nintendo to create the Great Deku Tree in brick form," said Lego designer Wes Talbott in a press release. "As a fan of the franchise, it was great to work on this set and fill it with details and references from the games."
