This was the first model in my ongoing “LEGO of Zelda” series, in which I planned on creating numerous elaborate Legend of Zelda-related creations to promote an aborted Great Deku Tree project – similar to how in late 2011/early 2012 I worked on several Mario-related MOCs to pave the way for my Fireflower Airship. The series began with my idea to start building a large interactive Great Deku Tree model in the fall of 2012, and this gruesome spider was intended to be one of the enemies located within. The spider turned out to be much larger than anticipated, however.
