Nintendo to release limited edition The Legend of Zelda 3DS bundle to mark 25th anniversary of the original game
UPDATE: This limited edition Zelda anniversary 3DS bundle will go on sale in Europe on November 25th. Thanks to Edge and Nintendo World Report for the top tip. Original story follows:

It's already proven to be a good week for 3DS-owning Zelda fans, and Nintendo is intent on making it even better by announcing a limited edition 3DS The Legend of Zelda bundle.

To further celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo will launch a black-and-gold version of its latest handheld, complete with a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

Whilst a release date hasn't been confirmed yet by the Japanese video game titan, it'll have to get the product out quickly to meet the 25-year anniversary deadline: 2011.

Eurogamer spotted the European PEGI rating on the box, which means that a European release for this package is all but certain. Other territories will have to wait for confirmation that this rather lovely handheld will be available on their shores.
