Nintendo announces huge Zelda eShop sale

Tingle your senses.

Nintendo is discounting the entire Zelda series (well, nearly) by 30 per cent for a limited time.

The sale begins tomorrow, 26th January, and lasts until midnight UK time on 9th February.

Dozens of Zelda games, add-ons and themes for Wii U and 3DS are included.

Nintendo is holding the sale to celebrate Breath of the Wild's upcoming release for Wii U and Nintendo Switch on 3rd March. Pick up a Zelda game and you should have plenty of time to finish it before then.

For our money we'd recommend most of the list, but if you have yet to play through Link's Awakening DX on 3DS or Wind Waker HD on Wii U then you can't go wrong with either.

Here's the full list of games in the sale:

  • Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link
  • Zelda: A Link to the Past
  • Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
  • Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Various Zelda themes for 3DS will also be included, while My Nintendo will offer Zelda-themed rewards and Nintendo Badge Arcade will be stocked with Zelda badges.

Speaking of the upcoming Breath of the Wild, we recently had an in-depth chat with Zelda series boss Eiji Aonuma on how Zelda made the switch to, er, Switch, and how a female Link was briefly considered.
