Where we’re going, we don’t need official boxart
Because something like this works just fine. Don’t forget that preorders are now open at Amazon for the 3DS sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past!
And don’t forget about these still active deals either:
- Fire Emblem: Awakening - $29.99 (backordered, sidebar link)
- Super Mario 3D Land - $29.99
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - $29.99 (backordered, sidebar link)
- Mario Kart 7 - $29.99
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate - $24.99 (backordered, sidebar link)
Kid Icarus: Uprising is also $31.99, which is a decent deal for a great game. Don’t forget that it comes with a banana stand.

The Legend of Zelda, starring Princess Zelda
Shin Zelda Densetsu is an old homebrew project, released back in 2004 by Aesirraven and Lord Steak, but the ROM hack suffered a game-breaking bug in one of its dungeons. Chris Miller has just released a patch that should finally fix the issue and allow people to complete the game now!
It’s a complete overhaul of the original Zelda game, and from what I hear it’s quite good. Miller summarizes the changes:
“In a novel twist, the player must guide Princess Zelda on a quest to rescue Link from the forces of evil. The overworld is completely revamped, with few if any recognizable landmarks or routes from the original game. It is superbly designed, and won’t bore the player. The same goes for the dungeons. Instead of numbered levels, the dungeons are identified by symbols of the zodiac.”
I love that the list of classic games hacked to offer playable female protagonists is growing.

Holy butts! The Legend of Zelda 3DS
It’s not a remake for a Link to the Past — it’s a new game set in the SNES classic’s world, releasing this holiday season! It will feature new dungeons and an original storyline.
The new title looks to “”reinvigorate the flat 2D world of A Link to the Past with a sense of height and volume,” making it easier to differentiate levels and adding a new puzzle-solving mechanic. Link can also now become a drawing and move within walls, changing the game’s perspective and allowing you to see previously hidden connections to solve puzzles.
Watch the reveal and trailer past the break:
Amazing Castlevania map by Bill Mudron
It comes in both black-and-white and full color, and i is just so incredible to look at. Think it would be appropriate for a baby room? Asking for a friend.
You can pre-order this now for $45. Mudron’s also working on an underworld map of The Legend of Zelda:

Real Action Heroes Link
Did you get priced out of the Figma Link when US distribution was canceled? Well, now you have another chance to pay way too much for a Skyward Sword Link action figure, one that is even cooler IMO. Because of cloth.
This one comes with a sword, shield, bow, the MotionPlus scarab thing whose name I can’t remember, and other accessories like a -_- face and a SHAAAHHH face.
It’ll be released in Japan in November.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
I’ve already seen a number of people who prefer the cel-shaded graphics of the GameCube edition (or the gorgeous visuals on a Dolphin setup), but I’m just as excited about the other additions in this enhanced Wii U port:
- Gameplay tweaks
- Off-TV GamePad play support
- Miiverse compatibility
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD is expected to release this fall.
BUY The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia
Who’s that Pokemon?! Er, I mean, Nintendo character!
GameStop is teasing some unrevealed characters that will be included in Scribblenauts Unlimited. Given Nintendo’s willingness to let third-party developers drop its mascots into their games lately (e.g. Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Dynasty Warriors VS), it’s likely these are some familiar figures from the Mario and Zelda series.
I’ve included an image above with our best guesses for the silhouetted people. Presumably, Yoshi’s butt will appear only in the Wii U and 3DS versions, and not the PC release.

“Seafarer Combo” by Zac Gorman. The Magical Game Time artist offers his take on The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (i.e. the best 3D one) in this collection of items produced by Fangamer.
You can buy them together for $47, or the shirt, poster, and pin set individually. I like these! They all offer an unusual interpretation of Zelda, by which I mean it’s not just a bunch of Triforces.
