Best Buy and Amazon are joining GameStop’s pre-order battle for Hyrule Warriors with exclusive Link and Zelda costumes of their own.

Players who pre-order through Best Buy can receive cheerful Skyward Sword costumes, while pre-ordering through Amazon will grant you some more serious Twilight Princess outfits instead.

GameStop is still offering to send Link and Zelda back to their Nintendo 64 days with costumes based on Ocarina of Time. Club Nintendo members who register the game before October 23 can download special Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess costumes for Ganondorf.

Hyrule Warriors launches on the Wii U September 26.

I just want to get Link's scarf. Not in Canada unfortunately. Unless Club Nintendo puts it up as a reward.

This retailer-specific stuff is so terrible. I hope they at least give out a password to unlock all of them later, well after launch.

Hmm...Twilight Princess? Ocarina of Time? Twilight...Ocarina... Decisions decisions.


I agree this is crap that they are retailer specific. Will probably go with Amazon since I buy most games through them unless the scarf is offered elsewhere. Scarf trumps all DLC.

We have enough Zelda eras to create a Watch_Dogs-style pre-order bonus chart. C'mon retailers, get to it! At least Link actually has an iconic cap.

I would say "At least it's only costumes" but that feels like the first step down this slippery slope of awful.

Hyrule Warriors II GameStop exclusive DLC: Link. Not a special version of Link, just Link.
