March is a great month for Zelda fans, for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is looming around the corner, and Hyrule Warriors Legends isn't much further away either. However, the crème de la crème title that most (if not all) Zelda fans are looking forward to is the new Legend of Zelda title for the Wii U, supposedly launching in late 2016.
Nintendo hasn't shown much footage of arguably the most anticipated title of the year, but what it has done is kept us licking our chops by teasing what's to come - and that's by dropping two screenshots from the first Zelda Wii U trailer within Twilight Princess HD. The two screenshots can be found in the Chudley's Fine Goods and Trinkets Emporium in Hyrule's Castle Town, however it should be noted that you won't be able to find them after the store turns into Malo Mart later in the game.
Have a watch of the video below where Alex takes you on a tour of these teasing easter eggs so you can witness them for yourself. Does this make you more frustrated at the lack of Zelda U details or in fact more excited? As always, tell us below.
Hats off to YouTuber HMK for discovering this easter egg.

How cool is that
Not bad... but come on, would have been 10 times more awesome if they'd used some images we hadn't seen before.
...or maybe they have, and we just don't know it yet!!!
Time to find waldo!.....I mean link?
surprise! there are screenshots of bayonetta 3 in there as well! this beats the sony faux pas where they used ubisoft artwork in uncharted 4's trailer.
Nintendo did this in OoT 3D with Skyward Sword, it isn't too surprising.
warning: this is not a read, just some honest questions.
But...are you guys working full time on this site or are you all freelancers? How come you are often so late with news? Do you need to create/verify your own sources or are you hesitant in "copying" news from other outlets?
At 1:20, there is a shadow glitch on the side of the wall as link walks up to the painting. Did anyone catch that?
Cool.
So where are all the hardcore "Hyrule" timeline fanatics discussing whether or not this proves Zelda U comes before TP in the timeline?
@DDStuff Yeah, I had no idea what it was the first time though
@Jamotello Bayo3 screenshots? Where?!
@AyeHaley Sometimes they're "late," other times they're "early." It's not a feature exclusive to this site though, it's just the business of reporting anything on the internet, where there are countless outlets for every topic, and everyone expects everything instantly.
There's just so much information to find and parse and determine what's right for their readers, and of course a site like this rightly wants to source everything, so you can't be first all the time. Not to mention they're only human, so naturally they can't just divine information out of the ether in the very instant it comes into existence.
I wonder if this is a little reassurance that "Zelda Wii U" is still actually going to be Zelda Wii U, since they were working on TPHD at a time when a lot of people we're doubting that it would still come to the system.
This Zelda for Wii U better be a masterpiece. I mean the teases we've had over the last 2 years but no new info, plus delays... it better be worth the wait.
They keep showing this same photo, >=o
They're obsessed. They have 3 photos of the same landscape in their home.
@gcunit Technically if they used all new images we probably wouldn't have noticed them.
Very nicely done Nintendo! It reminds me of majora's mask hanging on the wall in ravio's shop in a link between worlds.
Something to stare at for several months after you beat TP again....
@ach That was an awesome easter egg in LBW!
It's hardly an Easter Egg if we know about it before the game is even released. That's like calling the blatant in-movie advertising of the next Marvel movie an "Easter Egg." Remember when Thor spent 7 minutes totally advertising the next Thor movie in Age of Ultron? That's an "Easter Egg" now.
I love Easter eggs, it's a shame you have to go into that shop to see them, though; that shopkeep is a pompous jerk, and Malo isn't much better.
If you slash the painting off the wall, the back of it says "coming 2017".
Is this game out in any region? I don't think it is and I'm a little surprised that there isn't an embargo on reviewers releasing video of review copies.
@sonicmeerkat "for NX"
@Lizuka Skyward Sword wasn't that bad. The only bad parts are with the hand holding and the un-open world, which will be fixed.
Nice little nod to the future! Yeah it's coming this year it would make no sense if they were tight on time to make Twilight HD so no worries about this year! I'm looking forward to this a lot
I definitely have no hype for Zelda U, the info drought has slowly drained every morsel of excitement from me over the course of the past 14 months. Looking forward to Twilight Princess HD much more!
This is cool, but not that exciting. I'm waiting for Zelda U way too much to care about one picture that appears to be old.
I think it would of been even more impressive if they weren't screenshots that most Zelda fans have seen a hundred times now. It's cool that they added this in though.
How does this fit into the timeline??
"Can't stop the hype train"
Priceless...
@DDStuff It's a forewarning, "expect glitches in Zelda U"
And somehow Zelda Wii U still lived up to all this hype. Hats off, Nintendo.
