The announcement was made more exciting by official release date of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Much like its predecessor, The Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask will be released on February 13 alongside the new hardware. In classic fashion, Nintendo also announced that there would be a special Majora’s Mask edition of the New 3DS at launch, allowing fans the chance to have a shiny gold 3DS all their own.
