Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is available in Europe today, and Nintendo is going all-out to promote the return of a gaming classic. Select retailers in the UK received limited edition promotional Link hats, and we've got our hands on one.
The hats — which are not available for sale — let you look like the fabled Hero of Time, though you'll have to provide the rest of the outfit yourself.
Join us as we take a closer look at the promotional item below, and if you're in the mood for more Link-related shenanigans, be sure to read our Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D review.

Cool!
Too bad every country has it's own promotional stuff.
omg i'd totally wear that. one of my good european nl friends should send it to me.
I will be happy with my ocarina, but this would have been cool
Anyone else hearing "Zaolda"? It irks me, sorry.
And America gets nothing! Normally I wouldn't mind but with all the cool stuff other countries are getting I'm jealous. :/
I'd prefer iron boots.
I wish for this the most. :c
*Is JEALOOOOOUS * >8C
Yesterday i finally got my Zelda cartidge!!!!! It,s amazing, It,s like a new game, a total diference experience from n64.
The only sad thing Is I didn,t get a preorder so I missed the golden cartidge and the t-shirt. But i don,t care, Zelda 3ds Is AWesome, much more than I expected
Awesome and LMAO at the pic of James wearing the hat!
nintendo did something similar with mario kart wii.
the shop "game" gave away white caps with a mario kart logo stitched in the front as a freebie for people who pre orderd the gane. the stars shop version is a different colour but the material used is better quality.
i do like the look of that zelda cap though, very nice.
Why does NA still get nothing!?
Perhaps employees at Gamestop/Target/Walmart etc. will get these items. Again, these are promotional items for stores, not pre-orders bonuses or merchandise for sale.
Gamestop better not do that stupid "Pre Order and get 15% off on the guide" thing. Why would anyone buy a game guide for Zelda? Ruins the fun...
I WANT THE HAT PLEASE.
Some staff were wearing one of those when I purchased mine at a retailer. I wish for it to appear on club Nintendo. =)
Haha, nice picture! Xd
I saw employees at GAME wearing them yesterday and on the subject im off to pick up my copy of the game
just got my copy it really is like a new game i got an alternate box and a poster not too bothered though the game is enough would like the hat but not if it makes me look like noddy lol. oot is a top game just got to the castle
Neat! I think it would look better with pigtails though!
I'd probably be called Nerdzilla if I wore one of those around. My older brother would LOVE to wear this, though.
Why are we getting slighted in this. I believe its because we will buy anything with zelda in the name!
I have a Link costume left over from halloween still, so I don't feel too jealous. Still, US only gets a poster, and I already have the Club Nintendo Zelda posters.
My mom has a friend who makes Link costumes and sells them on Ebay.
the hat looks awesome, i really wish America would bundle the game with something. love the pic:)
I still have my Ocarina of Time on N64, so I haven't been planning to get this 3D rerelease. But the soundtrack bonus item has made me reconsider it. If we were getting this hat too, then I think that would cinch it for me!
omg James is so cute in the hat
Well I got my pre-order at HMV as they were offering the game for £34.99 plus a dedicated Zelda giftcard with £5 on it. It's got the same scene as the Ocarina of Time box on it, so it makes a nice souvenir. But I didn't get the extra Gold Zelda box, though that would just have got stowed away with the other DS game boxes, I guess.
rrrghhh, but at least we're getting that cd
Nice hat, Daddy Newts.
Well, maybe I'll just go into spy mode and snatch one, then... It's a secret to everybody.
Reminds me of Minish Cap
That needs to be next to my Mario hat.
@5 We actually get the official soundtrack of the game if we register it on Club Nintendo! I like that gift better, as I'll definitely listen to that music more than I would wear that hat hahah
the US needs to step their game up, promotions seems to be awful
WTF? THAT WAS MY IDEA! I suggested on the "Australia's Ocarina promo" announcement that NOA should either give us a Link cap or a 1:1 scale of the Master Sword. At least we'll get the soundtrack when we register it on Club Nintendo...but you can't wear it...
In Canada we get a CD Soundtrack for Zelda when you register thru Club Nintendo. I rather get the stupid hat instead.
That be some sexy british tones there daddy newts. I see where the 'daddy' comes from
@James those ears don't do that hat justice.
