Pics From the Zelda Launch Event at Nintendo World New York

Posted on November 19 2011 by Djinn

Nintendo recently sent out a PR email showing off a few random pics from the Skyward Sword launch event where fans got a chance to play it a day early. Each of the pics taken included a short description of who took the picture, who was the subject and what they were doing. Most include fans playing the E3 demo, posing with the iconic Master Sword, or simply taking pics of their own. Also among them is a picture of the first US customer to purchase Skyward Sword as it went on sale at launch after waiting five days. Jump inside to take a look.

I really wanted to go to this, unfortunately I live many hours away from New York. It was interesting of Nintendo to send this email out to the fans showing off some of the event. Judging from the long lines it seems like it was very successful. Especially so if the first one in line was there for five days. I love how they added the typical Hyrule shop section with a selection of shields and other Zelda related items. This makes me wish Nintendo did this more often.

So what do you think? Did you go to the event? Wish you could have gone? Let us know in the comments below.
