There’s no denying that A Link Between Worlds could become the Zelda series’ most successful handheld title in years to come and, with the inclusion of a specially themed bundle, the chances could never be higher.

Congrats to the lucky gamers who managed to pick up the bundle before five minutes were up! That is an incredible short amount of time before a preorder closes again and there’s no word if any replenishment is set to come. If you happen to be sitting on a fence wondering whether you should pick up this limited edition A Link Between Worlds bundle, I suggest you do so quickly. You’ll regret it in the long run if you decide you want one and miss out because of the strictly meagre stock.

Are you a fan of the A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL bundle? Are you amazed by the hype towards the bundle? Does A Link Between Worlds look set to be a popular handheld Zelda title?
