Nintendo 3DS XL Gets The Gold Zelda Treatment

Nintendo has made it something of a tradition to release special editions of The Legend of Zelda in gold, as well as Zelda-themed gaming consoles over the years. The company's next-to-latest handheld device, the Nintendo 3DS XL, is the latest to receive the gold treatment.

As confirmed by Nintendo's Eiji Aonuma in a newly released video by the company, the 3DS XL in gold will be available for purchase in North America on November 22.

The gold-colored 3DS XL will be on sale on the same day as The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

"I am grateful for the fans supporting Zelda over the years," said Aonuma-san. "Please enjoy Link's new adventure with the gold system."
