New Skyward Sword HD Rewards Available from My Nintendo Japan
Posted on July 16 2021 by John Piland
Celebrating the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, My Nintendo Japan has revealed a collection of new Platinum Points rewards. There are six new rewards in total, three of which are physical, and three of which are digital.
The first of the physical rewards is a bean dish with the shape and design of a Heart Container, which costs 300 Platinum Points. The next physical reward is a collection of semi-transparent Skyward Sword stickers featuring the Hylian Shield and Master Sword, Link, Zelda in her goddess dress, Fi, and different colors of Rupees, as well as some Rupoors; the stickers cost 150 Platinum Points. And the most expensive of the bunch is a drawstring bag designed to look like Link’s Bomb Bag, which costs 350 Platinum Points.
For now, these physical rewards are only available from My Nintendo Japan right here. There is currently no word on whether or not they will be offered in other territories. Each of the physical rewards requires the customer to pay a 550 yen shipping fee, or approximately $5.o0 USD, unless the total amount of products, excluding downloadable software, is 5,550 yen (approximately $50 USD) or more, including tax.
The last three rewards are all special wallpapers for phones and computer devices, which cost only 50 Platinum Points each. Unlike the physical rewards mentioned above, the wallpapers can be accessed with North American accounts right here.
I don’t have a need for the wallpapers, but I love each of the physical rewards. My favorite is either the bean dish or the bag, and I’m probably leaning towards the dish. While I love drawstring bags, I just feel I’d get more use out of the dish. I mean, come on, I’d love to eat little snacks off that every day. Unfortunately, even if they were available in my country, I can afford neither of those. Fortunately, I can afford the stickers, and I love decorating things with stickers.
What are your thoughts on these rewards? If they become available in your region or you have points on a Japan account, will you be claiming any? And if so, which ones? Is there something else you’d like to have seen as a reward? Let us know in the comments below!
