Special Discounts for The Legend of Zelda Series Coming to the eShop in Europe

Unfortunately the discount isn't enough. I own all of those games on Wii U in one form or another. I'd need a 50% discount to tempt me to rebuy any of them. Not to mention Nintendo still haven't said anything about whether they can be transferred over to the Switch.

I have all the games aside from Hyrule Warriors and I'm not really interested in it so I guess there's nothing for me this time. Great for those who don't have the same situation. I think OoT3D is already 20€ since it's a Nintendo Select title so a discount in addition to that makes it a must buy if there's still someone who hasn't played OoT.

I'll get the new theme! I'd love to get a discounted game, but...I already own all Zelda games on my 3DS.

YES! I'll definitely pick up all of the My Nintendo rewards.

Would've been helpful to list the prices next the games above. I guess it's time to get Zelda 2. I'll be picking up a physical copy of A Link Between World's.

To prepare myself for Breath of the Wild i finished all Zeldas left in the backlog. So i played all Zelda games i was interested in, no point on discounts for me so. But i'm really interested about My Nintendo rewards, maybe with this it will start to offer something really tempting

What, A Link to the Past (SNES), for the 3DS? Tell me it's true...

Would be great if they extended it to the console release week and had all the NES, SNES, N64 games on there at a discount...

Shame you cant play SNES games on the 3ds otherwise i wouldve snatched up a link to the past. I already own alot of the rest though.

I might get some of the themes. I never really looked into getting any until the other day when I found the Disney one with my boy Donald Duck on there

I'd buy all the virtual console games if the WiiU emulator didn't have the brightness stuck on zero.

Shame I have them already

Damn no legend of Zelda four swords for 3ds 😢
Wish they released it one final time before the 3ds is dead.

Oh, go on then.

@Frank-The-Tank So true Frank.

That's just ... unimpressive =(
Nintendo rarely (or never?) drops the base price of digital games, even if they are old games, or re-releases of really, really old games. On top of that, even if those games you want go on sale (which they do seldomly enough), what you get is these 30% discounts.

I bought (or should I say rebought) Dark Cloud 2 last weekend on PSN. It was the slightly enhanced PS4 version. At $4,99 instead of $14,99 it seemed too good an offer to resist. Sadly, I can't say the same about these games. The quality of the content absolutely machtes up, no doubt about it, but the value proposition just does not.
The fact the VC games are really just roms afaik without any enhancements (like higher resolution, trophies or anything like it) added, only heightens this sense of being ripped-off by comparison.

I own them all so it's kinda pointless for me sadly.

I actually don't own most of these games, the only one I do is Hyrule Warriors for the 3DS which an absolutely superb game (and with a lot more depth than people who've never played it gives it credit). However, digital prices have never been great on Nintendo.

I actually don't think many digital stores do much better... from my experience most of the highly discounted games on PSN etc. are games that they can't shift. Not an issue Nintendo has.

The only one I don't own already is Tri-Force Heroes, and I don't think I would like that game at all.

I have all the Wii U ones already (do I have a problem?)

America?

I have everything besides Hyrule Warriors Legends. I've got like £30 on the eShop, too, but I might hold on to my credit for Switch games, providing of course that our Switch account allows for it.

What would be nice would be if they were to let people who missed the Four Swords Adventures download a second chance.

If this comes to NA, I'd definitely at least get the Marin DLC. I hate that it is bundled with a weapon for Linkle since I don't have her, but I'd pay for it at a discount.

Now, now. Do I double dip Warriors or do I opt for Triforce Heroes?

I have most of these in some form or another, so I'm not interested this time. If they ever put Four Swords for sale, then I'd happily buy it instantly.

I want to make a positive comment but I just can't see how

Just give me a statue to spend my club points on!
Oh....darn!

Perhaps it's a sign from above for me to resume that archive binge (a glorious total of one game previously) and finally start Zelda II?

wait its a mynintendo discount, what happened to just a normal sale

Not buying anything on the Wii u eshop unless it can be transferred to Switch

@JamesR
Yes, it's called Wii U.

Aonuma is adorable. Enjoy!

Couldn't have even stretched to offer the NES Zeldas as gold point rewards? My Nintendo is awful.

Normally, Hyrule Warriors, and all its DLC, costs a grand total of $106.92. Now, everything costs $74.84, which is a much better price.
Alternatively, you can buy Hyrule Warriors Legends and its DLC (a $54.98 value) for $38.49, which is just below the price of the base game.
If you want both games, buying everything in bundles will cost $100.74 (as opposed to $143.92).
EDIT: Wow, these discounts are for Europe only? That's disappointing, since the sale starts on my birthday.

Finally something to use my over 1600 platinum my Nintendo points on.

I'll just save my points/money for some games on the Switch.

Discounts and more discounts for games that the vast majority of players already have.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is offering real deals and free games every month for those who have a Live Gold subscription.

@AlexSora89 Unless you plan to online/local multiplayer, Triforce Heroes isn't worth it. The single player is unplayable.

Awww, while I do appreciate the gesture, I own all of the games, either on virtual console, or on original systems... Most of those games I already own multiple copies!

Hell, I even already own the 3 of the 5 Zelda 3DS Themes...

I just need Breath of the Wild... and maybe re-releases of the CDI games for good measure...

In all seriousness though, this is a good opportunity for newer fans to play some of these games.

If this comes to NA I'll be buying Hyrule Warriors DLC, I'd buy Zelda Games too, but I already own them all. I've just never bought the HW DLC

I need to spend my gold points. Some are going end of march.

Might pick up TriForce Heroes

@PtM I actually own a New 3DS, so count me in on that one. Also, what exactly did 'they' do to MM?

Picked up Hyrule Warriors so may look into the DLC and maybe some of the themes.

i got most of the Zelda VC games I want, whilst may pick up ALTTP on N3DS once I see the price.

I own every Zelda game except for Hyrule Warriors (not interested) and the Four Swords games. A proper way to celebrate the anniversary is to put THOSE on the eshop so we can play every Zelda game on Wii U and 3DS!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You said it. I only own the Oracle games and I still wouldn't jump for these "discounts." Not necessarily saying they should do a 90% off fire sale every week, but 50% should be bare minimum (especially since they don't do price drops).

Where's Four Swords Anniversary Edition? Been years since I enjoyed this multiplayer mode from the GBA Link to the Past port, and would love to revisit it solo.

@allav866 I think it's much cheaper if you buy the season pass. It must include all the DLC packs if you buy it for Legends and almost everything if you buy it for the Wii U version. I might be wrong, though.

Not bad if you're a digital-loving Zelda fan who doesn't have some of these games yet.

reluctant to buy the few i don't currently have without knowing if they'll transfer to the switch.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Wind Waker HD, OoT 3D and ALBW are already very cheap since they are Nintendo Selects. 30% less makes them fantastic bargains. I'm going for OoT 3D for 14 euros. Already own the others.

@rushiosan
Duly noted.

@jimi
Also duly noted. I can see the game is divisive.
Given my laziness prevents me from checking the review, is download play an option here? It's a deal breaker slash deal sealer... er, deal.

@Uno With With HW on Wii U alone, I was counting the price of the game itself, the Hero of Hyrule Season Pass, the Legends of Hyrule Season Pass (Wii U only), the Legends Pack, and all 4 costume DLC packs. With Legends, I was counting the game and the Legends of Hyrule Season Pass (3DS only). With the two games together, I was counting the Hero of Hyrule Season Pass, Legends of Hyrule Season Pass (3DS & Wii U), and the 4 costume packs.

@AlexSora89 No Download Play. Everyone has to have their own copy.
If you can coordinate with other players online and add them to your Friends List, you can avoid being paired up with random players, which can be pretty infuriating when the team doesn't get along and won't stop throwing each other over cliffs.

@allav866
Crud. Potential deal breaker right there.

@AlexSora89 Personally, I'm more of a solo player, and TFH was fun, but only when the random players I was paired up with were able to communicate with what little options they had, that, and were at least semi-competent at the game.
Hyrule Warriors Legends got a lot more play time from me (second only to Animal Crossing in my Activity Log), but you have to be able to enjoy repetition. It's not for everyone, but I'm still enjoying the game just fine, and am working on the last DLC pack. I say get the game, and maybe get the DLC with it, but I would recommend playing the base game first and finishing everything the game has to offer before buying extra content that you may or may not even sink your teeth into.

Well that's nice and all, but I'm not going to spend money on eShop games for my current Nintendo systems, when they're about to be made obsolete by the Switch, and Nintendo have not made any effort to let us carry over our downloads. :/

@jimi Triforce Heroes is a temptation if it goes on sale in US...

NOA screws us yet again, yay!

I really hope these deals are offered in NA as well, I have most of the games already but I would probably get the 3DS themes I don't have and would definitely be tempted by the eShop offers and then trade in my physical copies towards my switch purchase

@jimi
Nice! Although no anti-troll option will ever beat the one Capcom did for one of their fighting games: ragequitters are eventually put with other ragequitters by the matchmaking system, which is delightfully wicked if you ask me.

@allav866
The choice is getting ever harder, but to me, most options point to Triforce Heroes. Mostly because I'll buy HW when I'll be able to double dip and buy the whole enchilada, like all DLC on both versions; TFH on the other hand is one single purchase, at the right price at that.

Finally something new in the Nintendo Badge Arcade! I haven't used that in months...

@PtM Why do you have a problem with Majora's Mask 3D?

I think I might double dip for Skyward Sword, altough I laready have it on disk. Should make replaying the games easier.

@phreak09 yeah, that's what bothers me as well. I still need/want Minish Cap on Wii U and a couple of GB/C games on 3DS, but with Nintendo being unclear about their stance on digital ownership and stuff carrying over to Switch, I'd rather wait for another sale at some point in the future.
...I really do like Minish Cap though and it's not like my Wii U is going anywhere, so I might just pick it up in the end.

@Andyliini if only playing it on Wii U would up the resolution... it looks so much better in HD, and with recent comments on Nintendo potentially considering an HD version I think I'd rather wait...

Would buy Hyrule in the eShop if the discount was at least 50%. I may purchase the DLC's though as they are usually way cheaper than the game.

How much does that make link between worlds? still need to play that one.

Haven't played Link to the Past for years. I'll prob grab that for the 3DS.

Ocarina ends up at a pretty decent £11.20 with the discount for those who haven't already picked it up.

May end of getting Zelda II for £2.50 and either Ages/Seasons for £3.80 each.

@adamatsu £11.20 which is decent if you don't mind not having the physical cart.

@jimi I'm not saying the emotion panels weren't fun and satisfying, but it is frustrating when your teammates disconnect when they can't understand what you're saying or vice versa. And I have been paired with stubborn kids that fight over the top Triforce panel at the end of an area. Meanwhile, I'm waiting on the left panel, tapping my foot.

Not buying any more until i know it carries over to Switch

Why can't I see any discounts yet?

I don't see them either.

The stuff is up now on My Nintendo, but you only get 30% off one game of your choosing.Typical Nintendo tightarses...

Europe only.
Of course.
