Images of a gorgeous Limited Edition Zelda 25th Anniversary Nintendo 3DS have appeared online, causing us to wonder if it's a bad thing to own three different colours.
According to the official-looking packaging art, the lush handheld also comes bundled with a copy of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
[UPDATE: Nintendo's confirmed that the new handheld will go on sale in the UK on November 25.]
The special handheld would be the latest in Nintendo's plans to commemorate the Zelda anniversary, following a series of music concerts and a re-release of Four Swords on DSi.
Read our Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D review if you're curious.

Oh, FFS Nintendo. I was willing to pay full price for this when OoT was released earlier this year, but instead I saved myself at least £80 by getting the cheapest blue version I could find and then getting OoT. I even made a thread on all the 3DS console and OoT pages on Amazon asking if people thought this was at all likely. It's the fans like me who were hoping for this, who bought a 3DS just for OoT, who would be the most likely to buy this. Not happy at all.
(Having said that, I'm such a sucker that I'm still seriously considering getting it anyway!)

Much like this myself. Held off getting a 3DS before OoT because I reasoned a limited edition bundle was inevitable. When May rolled around and since there was no sign of it materialising I just bought a black one, no bother, all good...
Then this. Nintendo really like making me regret being an early adopter. And I'll probably buy the thing regardless

Not gonna lie. If I had the money I would get it. Too bad I'm saving for Wii U.

If I was going to get a 3DS anytime soon, it'd be this one. Unfortunately there's still a few other issues (such as games, battery life and that second circle pad) which are practically insisting I hold off until the inevitable re-design. OoT3D (which i've already completed despite not owning a 3DS
) and a Tales' game aren't quite enough drive to make me throw the cash down.
That said, has anyone else noticed how much un-opened Zelda GBA SPs are going for on ebay? Makes me think it might be worth buying one and keeping it in the cupboard for 5 years or so.

Or stick one of these on your 3DS to achieve the same effect...
