No Early Wind Waker HD Download Available To Europe

As we already know, there are more than one way of obtaining The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, and digitally certainly offers some nice early access. While the physical copies of the game will be going on sale early in October (late September for Japan), digital copies will go on sale a couple of weeks earlier, specifically on September 20th.

Unfortunately, it looks like European Legend of Zelda fans won’t be getting any earlier access. In Nintendo’s Wind Waker HD press release, there was no mention of a digital launch for Europe, and when contacted about it by VideoGamer.com, Nintendo confirmed that Europe would not be getting early digital access. Nintendo’s exact response was the following: “The US launch date is September 20th. The EU launch date is the 4th October.“

No reason was actually given as to why there would be no early download release for Europe.
