The Nintendo 3DS has shaped up to be the home of the next few Zelda titles, with Tri Force Heroes and Hyrule Warriors: Legends coming soon to the platform. There are surely many fans eagerly looking to get their hands on these titles, as well as those who remain skeptical until they see the final products. The interest in these games are apparent as, according to last week’s 3DS eShop charts, the E3 trailer for Tri Force Heroes was the number 1 most watched video, with the trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Legends sitting nicely at the number 5 spot…

The sales power of Ocarina of Time continues to impress, as it continues to hold the #1 spot in its second week of availability on the Wii U eShop, holding off Splatoon. A Link to the Past also makes an appearance in the top 20, chiming in at #17. I have yet to purchase either of these games on my Wii U, but it’s definitely something I am considering. Both games have been available in many forms, but there is a certain comfort…

Just last week, Nintendo finally ported Ocarina of Time to the Wii U’s Virtual Console. So far, the game has been selling extremely well…

While there is a lot of hype for the new Zelda games discussed at this year’s E3 Nintendo Digital Event, let’s not forget some of the classic games that are now in the E3 sale in the eShop. The list includes a number of titles available on both the Wii U and 3DS. The list includes:

Most of us may not have a Japanese Nintendo 3DS, but that doesn’t mean we can’t drool over the new Zelda pins available in the Badge Center app on the 3DS eShop! This latest set is packed full of characters, enemies, items, and terrain from the original Legend of Zelda on NES…

The Nintendo eShop, Nintendo’s online store, is now accessible from web browsers, which means you can now buy Zelda games digitally, straight from a computer or phone! That’s right, this is yet another way to get your games. Whether you’re on the go and need to buy Zelda Wii U when it drops, or you’ve been forgetting to purchase Majora’s Mask 3D, and your 3DS is dead, just buy it from your smart phone…

It’s certainly no secret that many, many of you have not played or finished Zelda II, but to the few that have, it’s one of the most unique and satisfying gameplay experiences out there. Not many other games have tried to emulate the Zelda II formula, so it’s a treat when a game is released that does. Last year, Ansimuz Games’ Elliot’s Quest, an indie 8-bit homage to Zelda II, was released onto Steam. Today, those with a Wii U will have a chance to pick up this charming game as it has been finally released onto the Nintendo eShop…

 A Zelda II inspired ‘8-bit retro adventure game’ entitled Elliot Quest is launching on the Wii U’s eShop on March 19th for $12.99. Fans of The Adventure of Link‘s style should certainly check it out, as it borrows many of the NES classic’s unique traits: side-scrolling gameplay, villages with NPC interactions, and a similar over-world style. In addition, the game utilizes features from other ground breaking NES games. Make the jump to check out the gameplay trailer!

If you’re a Legend of Zelda or Monster Hunter fan (or perhaps both), then you will want to get your hands on the latest DLC for Capcom’s Monster Hunter 4 that includes none other than a Link costume, and it looks fantastic. The latest trailer shows the in-game character looking very much the part as the Hero of Time, wielding the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Goddess Bow and more! Hit the jump to see the trailer.

Along with the release of Majora’s Mask 3D and the New Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo also updated the software for current 3DS systems. This update includes several new themes added to the Theme Shop, two of which are special for Majora’s Mask 3D. There is also a NES Link Theme that was added about a week ago available. This brings the total of Zelda themes that you can cycle through on your 3DS to six. Hit the jump to take a…
