Update: Bumped to the top. Nintendo has now posted the art officially on Facebook, which is now in higher resolution and with some extra detail:
A new piece of artwork from the upcoming Zelda game has been spotted on Amazon. The shot shows Link holding onto a rock formation with some pretty scenery in the background.
Expect to hear a whole bunch about the new Zelda title during Nintendo’s Treehouse stream on Tuesday.

First, we have a total of eight Elliot Quest codes to hand out. Four are available to those with North American Wii U systems while the other four are for those with European consoles. Since this is a bit of a redux given that we held an Elliot Quest giveaway a year ago, we’ll make this simple: just leave a comment below and tell us which region you’re located in – this is crucial, otherwise we may not be able to count your entry.
We’re also giving out a code for the Hyrule Warriors Legends 3DS theme on Twitter! Follow our account and give this message a re-tweet – that’s all. Unfortunately, this one is limited to North America. Sorry about that!
Both giveaways will end on June 12 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe. We’ll pick winners soon after that.
