Fans who do not own the Wii U console can opt for a limited-edition bundle, which includes a black Deluxe Wii U console; a controller adorned with the gold Hyrule crest and symbols from the game; a download code for the digital version of Hyrule Historia, which details the chronology, history, and artwork of the Zelda series; and a code to download the game from the Nintendo eShop.
Originally released for Nintendo GameCube in North America in 2003, the game tells the story of a young boy, who goes on a quest after his sister is kidnapped by a giant bird. The re-mastered, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, features enhancements such as Miiverse functionality, which lets players with broadband Internet access attach helpful messages or images to Tingle Bottles that wash up on the shore in another player’s game. The game also includes the Swift Sail, which increases the speed of the player’s boat.
