Zelda 35th anniversary poster from Gamestop: Prominitely features BOTW, Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time

[DNAbro]

From Rareware in the Nintendo thread

So I just went to GameStop to pick up Ratchet & Clank and asked the manager while I was there if they "started the Zelda promotion yet where you get a free Zelda poster when purchase Zelda merchandise". He says it "probably won't start until sometime next week". But then he reaches into drawer and gives me the Zelda poster anyway along with my Ratchet game!

Curious choices for the games am I right? Almost like most of these have been rumored to be coming to the Switch.
Backside with even more stuff

edit: if you want said poster

Promo starts on Sunday. Buy $30 worth of Zelda merch or buy a new Switch and you get the poster.

Or just ask the employee for one with a purchase of anything and they'll probably give you one.

The disrespect at no Majora's on the front

 

[-Le Monde-]

Ill believe it when I see it. Nice poster though.

 

[maximumzero]

I wouldn't look too much into this, looks to me like Nintendo just hit up the clip art folder while making a poster design.

That being said, I fully expect Nintendo to re-release Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD because porting games from your previous platform over four years into the lifespan of your new console is now totally acceptable I guess.

I get old ... just yesterday was the 25th anniversary ...

But nice poster! I just hope one day I can also play Majoras Mask on the switch

 

[ignata]

Hopefully they'll do one that includes the Zelda games I like. Although I did appreciate BotW.

 

[Rentaru]

Whats the zelda below fi from? And where is the young link in top right from?

MM Link is the same one of OoT's to be fair.

 

[night814]

Can't wait

 

[Edge]

We (basically) already know that TP HD and WW HD are coming, OOT is the surprise here.
And where's Majora's Mask then?

 

[Daria]

Going to pick up a game from GS and will also ask about this

 

[Homura]

That's nice lol

 

[JuniperAndSage]

I don't replay a lot of games, but I'll pretty happily replay all these if they get ports/remasters for Switch.

 

[j7vikes]

They are going to remaster them and put them all on one cartridge. Unfortunately since it's Nintendo they will only sell one like that Wu Tang Album. Because of course.

 

[Linkie3]

Nintendo acknowledged Vaati? I really hope they bring him back some day.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Basically every 3D Zelda game is rumored so this isn't telling us much

 

[Suswave]

I mean it's almost like they featured mainline games prominently

I definitely wouldn't read too much into it.

 

[slothrop]

If they release an anniversary thign with no Majora's Mask, I'm boycotting nintendo!!!!

 

[giapel]

All these 35th celebrations seem weird to me. Does anyone celebrate their 35th birthday more than 34th or 36th?

 

[raketenrolf]

The backside has art from every (or almost every) zelda game on it. Wouldn't read much into this tbh. It's a anniversary after all.

I would buy them all though.

 

[GJ]

They re-used this from the 30th anniversary.

 

[Stopdoor]

Crazy Nintendo would make a Zelda poster of all the most popular Zelda games

 

[ev0]

Hmm the back is mostly just reusing the 30th lol

 

[Conkerkid11]

lol, watch them do something like the Mario 35th anniversary pack, and Majora's Mask ends up getting the Super Mario Galaxy 2 treatment

:(

I am absolutely going to read too much into it cause it literally falls in line with current rumors.

 

[udivision]

With ya boy, Smash 4 Link front and center.

 

[night814]

Some of those links, Zelda's, and ganons are also avatars on the switch. If we get young link for that as well I know what I'm switching too.

Same style, but the art choices are all (or mostly?) different.

 

[Rotobit]

FWIW Zelda.com has a similar banner

In general I wouldn't read too much into it, it was probably just slapped together by a general PR person who had a buncha PNGs.

Heck, look at the 30th anniversary image -

EDIT: Beaten regarden the latter, but either way it's not like the 30th anniversary saw Phantom Hourglass Wii U cos Linebeck was there.

EDIT 2: Looking again that Zelda.com banner is identical to the poster just cropped differently

 

[TJ_Electronica]

I like that poster. Are they giving them out at GameStop or is it an item for sale?

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

If those goddamn bastards announce everything but Majora's Mask for Switch I will implode.

 

[peppermints]

Someone catch me up - what's the rumors? A separate package being sold apart from Skyward Sword HD?

 

[Luke88]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Ocarina artworks seem from the 3D version, which would be the best choice for most people for a port.

current rumors say Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD are the most likely for Switch ports. Nowhere near as hot for OoT/MM.

Ah cool. Have to look and see if there is anything I want from GameStop. Just got some PSN cards from them yesterday lol.

 

[AlexFlame116]

I swear if a Zelda collection is announced and Majora's Mask isn't included but OoT is....

 

[Glio]

I wouldn't read much on this.

The back of the poster has pretty much everything in the same spots.

 

[LonelyGay]

Not to sound naive, but do these posters basically confirm that anniversary games are coming to the Switch?

My dream would be Oracle of Ages/Seasons and/or Minish Cap redone in Links Awakening style.

 

[Efejota]

Nice to see the Four Swords stray fairy artwork even if it's from the 30th. You rarely see art from the GB/GBA games outside of LA.

I'm gonna go Happy Mask Salesman on my Switch if MM gets Galaxy 2'd on this Remaster collection :(

 

[Anustart]

Orrr.....that's the 3d games where they can just use renders to create the art and spend as little as possible on it. Either that or every Zelda game ever is coming to switch pro, 144hz, dlss 16k, cross platform multiplayer! It's got it all!!!

 

[blame space]

cd-i remakes

 

[Snake__]

I will be so mad if Majora's Mask gets the Galaxy 2 treatment

 

[JustJavi]

And the first post nails it once again.

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

The dream is instead of some collection they put Link Between Worlds on Switch.

Young link top right reminds me of 3ds ALBW.
