How to Get the LEGO Zelda Ocarina of Time Set for Almost Free

The new LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle set just dropped for pre-order. It costs $129.99. With some smart stacking, you can get it for around $25 to $40 out of pocket! It requires the power of offsetting using a few very smart deals. As a fan myself, finally a set I cannot resist!

The Strategy: Capital One Shopping Portal Offset

Capital One Shopping offers two ways to save on this purchase:

1. Referral Sign-Up Bonus: $80

New Capital One Shopping members can get an $80 bonus when they sign up through a referral link and make a qualifying purchase. This alone covers most of the set.

2. LEGO Cashback: 8% to 19%

Capital One Shopping offers cashback on LEGO.com purchases. The rate is personalized and may be different for everyone. But there is only one way to find out, and that is to sign up for Capital One and visit Lego with the browser extension installed. At least by my own luckyI received an 8% and 19% offer (varies depending on the type of product, which is up the air on how it will be classified after purchase.

• If classified as an "Exclusive Item", At 8%: $10.40 back
• If classified as "Everything else", At 19%: $24.70 back

Final Verdict

For Zelda fans, this set recreates the iconic final battle from the iconic videogame. I personally have not owned a Lego set since I was a kid, despite them being really artfully crafted. This one, for me, moved the needle instantly. With the offset, I am 100% sold. (Even without the offset, I was sold!)
