Nintendo not making Zelda: Wind Waker HD available early on the eShop in Europe

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is launching on the eShop early in North America. The digital version will go live on September 20, followed by the retail release on October 4.

Unfortunately, Europe will not be seeing anything similar. When asked about the situation, Nintendo said that Wind Waker HD is launching in Europe on October 4 – essentially confirming that the downloadable and retail versions are going live on the same day.
