Crap! >.< Another expense for the year. Shame it's so bland. Still, I promised myself a Wii U if a Zelda themed one came out. Wish they had done more with the console though.

Exactly this. Don't forget A Link Between Worlds is coming in November.

The console itself is going to be the 32GB black "Deluxe Set," which includes the Console Stand, GamePad Stand, GamePad Cradle, and the Deluxe Digital Promotion which runs until 12/2014.

The differences between this edition and a Deluxe Set available on the shelf today:

• Zelda-themed art on the packaging
• Zelda-themed art on the GamePad (not the console)
• Digital copy of The Wind Waker HD instead of Nintendo Land
• Digital download of Hyrule Historia

If I already had a Wii U I would pass on this, buy a retail copy of TWWHD, and buy a preowned Zelda GamePad later on. But I don't have a Wii U yet, so I'll be getting this edition. I wouldn't hold out for a gold Wii U; Nintendo has never really released a Zelda edition home console, so two for the Wii U would be very surprising. Why is only a digital copy of TWWHD being included? Maybe it's so Nintendo can sell us both the Zelda Wii U and the separate LE of TWWHD with the figurine.

US Edition


EUR Edition


I didn't know this before but it looks like maybe the EUR version is getting a 7-day free trial for Wii U Karaoke instead of the digital copy of Hyrule Historia. Oh and just found this out too, looks like the golden script on the GamePad actually has meaning. Cool.

there soo little to differentiate this from a run of the mill console..if it were painted gold or something more like the Mario 25th anniversary wii set which was red then YES it would be worth picking up..but this one flies under the radar...I still need a wii u but I will wait it out until Mario kart.

sounds more like a special edition gamepad then a console as it seems only the gamepad will be any different.

It's depressing as I already have a wii u, I really don't want a second but as an investment it might double as its zelda
