Smash Bros. “Veteran Fighters” eShop sale leaves out Link

No one really dislikes a sale, but I think it’s fair to feel a little off put when one is excluded from it. While there’s not anything explicitly stating that it’s on purpose, the

Smash Bros. “Veteran Fighters” eShop sale beginning today in Europe does not include any of the games in the Legend of Zelda series. As saddening as this is for folks who’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to finally play The Wind Waker HD, The Legend of Zelda, or Link’s Awakening DX, among other titles, there are a number of great games from other series up for sale, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t give you the details.

With great games such as New Super Mario Bros. U and Fire Emblem: Awakening in this sale, there’s certain to be some happy gamers in Europe this coming week, although few in the Zelda fan variety. Perhaps another sale will come around with the impending release of Hyrule Warriors? We’re certainly excited enough to hope so, but what do you think? Going to get in on this sale? Recommend any titles to your fellow gamers?
