With the start of the month comes the standard My Nintendo updates, and now the North American equivalent is on board. Capitalising on the buzz of upcoming footage of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the rewards are mostly focused around the iconic franchise.
Details are below; as you can see there's a mix of HOME Themes, game discounts and even some downloadable videos. Also of note is Flipnote Studio 3D, which is available as another Platinum Point extra.
- Flipnote Studio 3D - 200 Platinum Points
- The Legend of Zelda: 30th Anniversary HOME Theme - 300 Platinum Points
- The Legend of Zelda Main Theme Medley - 100 Platinum Points (video download)
- The Legend of Zelda Great Fairy's Fountain Theme - 100 Platinum Points (video download)
- The Legend of Zelda Ballad of the Goddess Theme - 100 Platinum Points (video download)
- 30% off The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Wii U) - 240 Platinum Points
- 30% off The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Wii U) - 240 Platinum Points
- 30% off The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii U) - 50 Gold Points
Are any of you North American gamers tempted by these new rewards?

I'm going to grab the home theme for sure, and maybe skyward sword.
Finally, stuff to spend coins on that aren't only discounts.
Here in Europe we'd love for these!
@Fenrir6 We already got Flipnote Studio 3D - as a signup bonus back when the service first launched. The theme would be nice tho'.
Wait, arnt those videos the same ones they put up on Nintendo Video to advertise the concerts?
Spent your coins on retro adverts kids! We might also have an old Super Mario Kart ad in the office somewhere to add too!
@buildz I was talking about the theme and the videos.
That's a nice Zelda theme right there! I wonder what the music on it is?
But sometimes I don't get you Nintendo. You just released Swapdoodle a week or two ago and now you're bringing back Flipnotes for a third time?
You listed A Link to the Past twice lol
At least 50% would get me to buy Skyward Sword again, but why such measly discounts? There should also be a freebie option for 230 gold coins.
I got the theme and videos. Of course I would like to spend my 2000 points on a GAME but whatever.
@ThomasBW84 one of the A Link to the Past is for the New 3ds
Between this and the official Zelda cite going live yesterday, we must be in for something BIG at the VGA's...
@ReshiramZekrom Apparently, ol' Tommy really loves his Link to the Past.
Hopefully these aren't the Eshop sales that the Game Awards guy said are coming during the show.
Got the theme and since my Black Friday Mario New 3DS just came in, I got ALttP. I'm pretty annoyed that Nintendo doesn't give me a discount for having it on Wii U, but this was just good enough to get me on board. I have fond memories of playing ALttP on my GBA SP on the go that I can now relive.
Like others have said, I'm glad there is finally something neat to spend my coins on. I'll either grab the Zelda theme or the Flip Note download.
By the way, here's what the Zelda theme apparently looks and sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9Yttnc5dmg
I would download everything if it were available in Europe...
TOTALLY GETTING THE HOME THEME SINCE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SPEND ON
Silly me, thinking that DSiWare Four Swords would show up. Of COURSE Flipnote 3D says "Zelda 30" better than that game!
@Angelic_Lapras_King the videos are fine, the music is good.
They do mention they were available on Nintendo video, but that was five years ago.... And these are permanent downloads instead of a failed video service.
Just downloaded the 30th Anniversary theme. Worth it for the heavenly music alone.
The 30th anniversary theme should have only been 30 points. xP
Wish they gave this much love for Metroids 30th anniversary :/
Anyone downloaded the 3 orchestral videos are they good ?
Nice to see Flipnote 3D back up and those videos seem interesting
Should be 50% off instead of 30%...
@hieveryone the music is from the CD that came with Skyward Sword during the 25th anniversary. Its really good.
The videos show the performers, and they are in 3d.
Look these are really good, but can we get some games please?
The discounts are nice though I can't use em.
The videos are cool, I didn't have them already.
The theme is glorificent. Looks good and has good music.
The theme is nice, but I'm mostly happy that My Nintendo is offering 3D videos as rewards. Maybe we'll see the Kid Icarus 3D Anime and Kirby: Right Back At Ya! videos added as rewards in the future. Well, one can dream.
I'll grab the theme for sure.
Better than a lemon hat for Miitomo. Still sick of these discounts though. What happened to those VC games?
That Zelda theme is really nice.
Finally something different
@DiscoGentleman I refuse to believe that they couldn't grab the worst-selling VC games and let those be free downloads. I mean, at least then we get SOMETHING for our points instead of the chance to spend more money for more worthless points....
The Zelda 30th Anniversary theme is amazing. Probably my favorite My Nintendo reward that I've gotten.
If they're adding 3D videos, add the 3D Kid Icarus anime shorts! I would redeem coins or buy those!!
Wait- a MyNintendo 3DS theme that doesn't have that awful music track? And Zelda to boot? Count me in!
@Angelic_Lapras_King
I'd gladly spend my Platinum coins on a couple of Super Mario Kart ads. Better than half the stuff available now anyways.
Want to pick up Link to the Past as well- just have to decide which one to get- probably WiiU. Too bad there's no crossbuy. I don't suppose the $2 for already owning one applies either? I am guessing no.
@YouSeemFRAZZLED I know, which makes me want it to come to the American My Nintendo website even more.
best theme to date, finally something without the horrendous MyNintendo theme playing
I bought the theme and a video. By the way, does anyone know what happened with that My Nintendo holiday sweepstakes?
I grabbed the 30th Anniversary theme (wow is it beautiful!) and finally remembered to also redeem the Samus theme. My Nintendo could still be legions better, but it's hard for me to complain about the free stuff.
This is still nothing. GIVE IS SOMETHING MORE!
@rushiosan I don't mind the music for the Isabelle, Mario, and Donkey Kong themes, but for Samus and... Twilight Princess Link?! I mean, LBW Link and Toon Link, maybe, but this was definitely a forced attempt to push TPHD, on a system you can't even play it on, no less. But then Samus isn't based on her Federation Force appearance, which would've made Metroid fans angry, but at least would've matched the generic My Nintendo Theme music. Consistency might not be Nintendo's strong suit...
They just had to do this, after updating their site to make it unable for me to view it on my WiiU browser... (My PC is busted currently, so WiiU is my only way to browse the internet currently. Anyone else in a similar situation?)
Why make their sites unable to be viewed on their console's browsers? That makes NO sense!
Assuming the entire continent is obsessed with Zelda... hey Nintendo, you're WRONG!
@OdnetninAges If you own a 3DS. I'm a Wii U only owner.
500 points expired on me.
At least mow I have something to use them on...
@Beau_Skunk Completely agree. It's stupid isn't it? They can't even run their own site on their own hardware. The logic of Nintendo at times is dumbfounding.
I just received an email this morning for a discount for my birthday 😀😀
@ThomasBW84 - You've got Link to the Past listed as Wii U twice. One is for 3DS.
Ok, just downloaded the theme and 3 videos. Maybe they should put better offers in games.
Home theme is totally worth it.
Nice for the platinum, but what about the gold coins? I still have 65 gold coins and I don't have anything to get for my 3DS.
Getting the home theme and LttP on N3DS. I've been waiting for a sale for that game for a while as the base price is pricey in Canada. I'll get that in a few weeks. I will also get one of the videos.
I was glad to finally have something to spend the coins on. The theme and the videos may not be much, but they are better than any of the other offers.
Definitely getting the Zelda theme and videos when they come to Europe.
I guess I'll grab the theme. Lots of stuff you probably aleady own otherwise.
The 30th anniversary theme looks cool so I will probably spend some points on it.
they have discounts on games I already have - and I still think those are a rip-off. WTHeckbeans Nintendo - those discount rewards are no good. For 240 points - it should be 75% off.
Is a Zelda an NA-only franchise now?
Oh my god FINALLY a theme that doesn't look like it belongs in the dollar store! Seriously, stock image of Nintendo character on colored background of said Nintendo character is just lazy. I'm glad to spend the 300 coins on a decent theme like this, even though I already have so many themes that my favorite themes selection is overfilled
im hoping these come to the eu store aswell
