Much--loved classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is out on Wii U's eShop on Thursday, Nintendo has announced...
NewsIf you've any interest in the Zelda series at all, it's almost certain you'll have played Ocarina of Time. Since its release for the N64 in 1998, it's grown into one of the most adored games in the franchise, and has appeared on just about every Nintendo console since in one form or another - including the suberb 3DS remaster released in 2011.
Assuming you don't already have Ocarina of Time in one of its other incarnations - as part of the Wind Waker release on the GameCube, for example - then Nintendo has some good news: it's coming to the Wii U eShop this Thursday in Europe.
It's priced at £8.99, which might sound a bit steep for an unmodified port of the original, but then again, it's still cheaper than trying to buy a loose Ocarina of Time N64 cartridge from eBay - at the time of writing, they tend to go for about £10 or more in an auction, with boxed copies going for about £30-40 depending on condition.
Other releases hitting the Wii U eShop on the same day are Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising(£6.29) and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon(£8.99).
In other Zelda news, a new 15-minute video has emerged for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, which shows off its three-player co-op gameplay.
Nintendo has not yet confirmed if the game will re-release in North America.
