The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS Bundle and a Symphony of a Goddess

Nintendo is indeed celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda in style.

One of the most iconic franchises in gaming history will be getting the special treatment with a limited edition 3DS bundle containing a sleek-looking 3DS system marked with the Hyrule emblem.

The bundle also comes with a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D created just for the 3DS system. The bundle will be available in Europe on November 25th, 2011.

If you are a fan of the music from The Legend of Zelda games, and do happen to live in Dallas, than you would be happy to know that the Dallas Symphony Orchestra will be performing music from the game’s 25-year history.

The concert will take place on January 10, and tour the United States the rest of 2012. Tickets will range from $19 to #115 and Club Nintendo members will receive a special 15% discount.

Just don’t play your 3DS during the concert, because that would be rude.

Happy Birthday Link!!

Check out the Press Release below for more details on the bundle and here for Nintendo’s official Press Release for the concert.
