Remember how the original print run of The Legend of Zelda on the NES had the game’s cartridge in gold paint? Oh, and how about Nintendo doing the same with select copies of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask years later? Yeah, those cartridges were indeed special to us kids. It was as if our purchases were more valuable than before, despite the fact that it was just gold paint.
Well, with disc-based media now the standard (and with digital downloads becoming the next wave of game distribution), the subtle joy of gold-painted cartridges is a thing of the past it seems. However, today Nintendo officially announced a limited edition bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which will include a gold Wiimote complete with a sweet-looking Triforce engraving. Sure, it’s just a controller with a gold paint finish, but it’s the thought that counts, people. Plus, some people (including myself) never really bought a Motion Plus peripheral at the start. Whoops!
The Skyward Sword bundle will retail at $69.99 and will also include a CD with select recordings from the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary concert tour. The tour is slated to begin this fall. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is slated for release on November 20, 2011.
So, with this Zelda bundle officially announced, does this further make it a first day purchase?
