Zelda-Themed Wii U Bundle Accidentally Revealed By Nintendo

We're a little over a month away from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD's October 4 release date, and it appears that Nintendo has accidentally jumped the gun with an additional announcement. In a trailer that demonstrates the game's Hero Mode, an image at the end (seen above) clearly shows a Zelda-fied Wii U GamePad.

It seems that Nintendo wasn't quite ready to let that info out, as they quickly pulled the trailer. As of this writing, it can still be seen via this DailyMotion link. We're unlikely to hear any specifics on pricing until the publisher is ready to announce the bundle properly, but a rumor published by Destructoid suggests it will retail for $349.99.

Our Take:
Considering it's the 32GB deluxe console and a $50 game, this should be a good choice for Nintendo fans who haven't yet taken the plunge on buying a Wii U.

Definitely getting this.

Yeaaaah.....revealed by "accident"
by Irwin529 Monday, August 26, 2013 at 03:29 PM

Wow I'm really tempted to buy this. Especially considering this bundle will be even more expensive on ebay.
by Omnicrono Monday, August 26, 2013 at 03:31 PM

Umm... considering that the bundled game is WIND WAKER HD - yep, that makes it an incredible choice for new Wii U adopters.

I wish they'd make a white version with Zelda inlays. Or even a white "deluxe" version for that matter.

That is truly outstanding for those who don't have a WiiU yet. I will have to wait to buy LoZWWHD and I am sad. But I have to buy my PS4 with 2 games and a extra controller.

So funny to read how the WiiU is dead! I never believed it. Just wait for MK8, this and Super Mario World 3D and Nintendo will take off. LoZWWHD and Off-TV Play FTW!

My predictions are this:

1. PS4

2. WiiU

3. X180

You read it here first! :)

I just want the Gamepad!
by RezidentHazard (Skeptical Inquirer) Monday, August 26, 2013 at 03:56 PM

This would appear to be the first time they've actually done something to the console itself since... Since that awful Hey You Pikachu N64. Unless you count a Wii that was colored red for "Mario."
by King of Ignorami Monday, August 26, 2013 at 04:01 PM

Do want.
by armandoalday Monday, August 26, 2013 at 04:11 PM

o.o Awesome.
by littledaddysj Monday, August 26, 2013 at 04:26 PM

Why do I feel like I just got punished for buying a WiiU at launch? :( Oh well at least I have money freed up for a launch PS4. They should offer some kind of skin for these consoles. Or do they still do that and I'm just unaware of it?
by KingCup Monday, August 26, 2013 at 04:37 PM

Does the console itself have that gold lining on it or just the pad?
by The Enemy Gate is Down Monday, August 26, 2013 at 04:38 PM

Definite must buy! A Zelda bundle was how I got my 3DS, and a Zelda bundle will be how I get my Wii U.
by Landazar Monday, August 26, 2013 at 04:47 PM

I think I'm gonna wait for a price drop, I'm in no hurry and there's really not enough ''must play'' titles yet. This bundle is cool but the console stays the same (only the pad has a cool zelda-themed design). 350 is still too much imo.
by Warrior Monday, August 26, 2013 at 05:15 PM

I'm buying the bundle!!!
by Nano1124 Monday, August 26, 2013 at 05:26 PM

I wonder how much space the WiiU will have?
by HACK Benjamin Monday, August 26, 2013 at 05:30 PM

Man now I have to buy another Wii U
by Terror Of Death Monday, August 26, 2013 at 05:32 PM

Yeah, this is awesome.
by snapszach Monday, August 26, 2013 at 05:44 PM

F**k you Nintendo now I feel the need to buy another one dang it lol
