Pre-Order Your Wind Waker To Celebrate The 2016 Zelda Symphony Tour

by Josh JacksonMay 7, 2016

Have you ever been playing The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and felt like you wanted to try your hand at your own baton skills? Now’s your chance, since the replica ind Waker Baton that is being used during the Symphony of the Goddess: Master Quest 2016-2017 symphony tour has gone up for pre-order.

Available this June for $40, the baton feels like a must own for someone like me, who holds The Wind Waker in the highest esteem. Articulated to look as close as possible to the game’s version outside of it being cell shaded, it won’t be long until we can control the direction of the winds, allowing ourselves to sail to our heart’s content… Or at least you can try. As of press time, we have yet to confirm that it will actually control the wind.

The baton has been released to celebrate the 2016-2017 Master Quest tour, which kicked off in Santiago, Chile this weekend. Promising updated visuals to show off the recently released Twilight Princess HD, you can check out the entire list of dates and locations at the symphony’s web site. While you’re at it, you can claim your baton by pre-ordering it here!

Nintendo Drops Price on Wii U Deluxe Set

by J.C. MarquezAugust 28, 2013

Announced via an advertisement earlier today, Nintendo will be knocking $50 off the MSRP of both the Wii U Deluxe Set and the limited-edition Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Wii U Deluxe Set next month. Set to go on sale September 20 for $299, the limited-edition Wind Waker Wii U Deluxe Set comes with a 32gb Wii U console, a Zelda-themed GamePad, a digital download code for a copy of The Legend of Zelda; Wind Waker HD, and a hardcover copy of Hyrule Historia from Dark Horse Publishing.

Anyone with the slightest urge to own one of these should seriously consider pre-ordering it soon, for Nintendo limited-edition bundles tend to have an extremely short shelf life.
