Update 2: Bumped to the top. The issues have now been addressed.

Update: Nintendo has posted on Twitter that they are working to resolve issues relating to the sale:

Original: As part of Europe’s Zelda Weeks 2017 sale, Nintendo has been announcing that all Zelda games would get a 30% discount for My Nintendo users. Now that the sale is live, we have found out that that is partially true.

You’ll be able to choose among a great variety of Zelda games, but choose wisely because the code you will get is single-use.

People on NeoGAF are warning about this because some users have added lots of money to their eShop accounts in hopes of taking advantage of this opportunity, only to find out that all prices go back to their original state after the first purchase.

Apparently, this is not a glitch as Nintendo states how My Nintendo coupons are single-use.

My Nintendo began offering a few new Zelda-based rewards at the very start of December. For those in Europe, these same items are now available.

First, a 30th anniversary Zelda 3DS theme can be had for 300 Platinum Points. Three different 3DS videos are also live for 100 Platinum Points each. After you’ve downloaded them, you can watch orchestrated performances of Zelda music.

All of these rewards are accessible on My Nintendo here.

After a long wait, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild finally launches in March. With the game so close, some fans can’t help but wonder what could come next for the series.

One possibility series producer Eiji Aonuma isn’t ruling out is another title for Switch. “I haven’t been able to fully use all of the new features of the system,” Aonuma told IGN. “There could be the possibility of another Zelda on Nintendo Switch.”

Update (1/10): Sold out on Amazon Canada, but now up on Amazon UK, Amazon Germany, and Amazon France.

Original (1/9): Many of you are likely aware that The Legend of Zelda: Art and Artifacts is slated for release next month. The book features art across the entire series, including Breath of the Wild. Fans can look forward to rare promotional pieces, game box art, instruction booklet illustrations, official character illustrations, sprite art, interviews with the artists, and more.

We now have word that Dark Horse Comics is preparing The Legend of Zelda: Art and Artifacts Limited Edition. The item, limited to just 10,000 copies, features an exclusive Master Sword cover and Acetate Slipcase.

As the official Amazon listing states:

“This exclusive edition of only 10,000 copies features an original cover with a raised 3D embossed Master Sword. The book fits into an acetate slip case that features a golden sheath for the Master Sword and emulates the sword being removed from the sheath when the book is removed from the top of the slipcase.

The sword itself is a 3D embossed sculpt with a metallic foil finish and is printed at the size of an actual sword hilt to give the reader the satisfaction of unsheathing the realistic-looking sword from the acetate sleeve sheathe that encases the book. The cover’s background features the Lost Woods in a deep, custom-mixed purple ink with a soft touch lamination and spot-gloss UV which is framed with metallic foil. The pages are gold gilded to round out the premium enhancements.”

The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts Limited Edition (and standard version) arrives on February 21. You can pre-order it on Amazon here or Amazon Canada here.

Update: Okami Amaterasu life size bust is also in the works:

First 4 Figures has been on a roll with its teases for new Nintendo figures. Meta Ridley was confirmed last week, followed by Bowser just recently.

If that wasn’t enough, two more products are on the way, and both are Zelda-based. A life-size Majora’s Mask and Midna (in her true form) are on the way at some point. When we have more details, we’ll be sure to bring them to you.
