For those of you looking to pre-order The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess in North America, you might want to take a look at GameStop’s pre-order bonus.
Nintendo of America has Tweeted that pre-orders for the game made through GameStop will come with an exclusive CD.
Pre-order The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD at @GameStop and get an exclusive CD! https://t.co/VV7Fhig4Mh pic.twitter.com/K04ZdSOQ2w

This CD comes with all of the bundles that include the amiibo in Europe, however the CD will remain exclusive to GameStop in North America.
I ordered this way back in November I still get the CD right? I’m in the US and I preordered the TPHD Ammibo bundle from GameStop.
You should do, it might be worth dropping them an email to double check. I don’t see why not :)
Thanks, I’ll do that.
EVERY ONE EMAIL NINTENDO’S ASSES ABOUT THIS! ( goo.gl/5VbfBt ) They said in the direct that all preorders will get the sound track! Now all of a sudden, this??
Really? If so, NoA is indeed confirming they are a band of douchebags.
Seriously!? Did you double check with the Nintendo Direct to make sure?
Yah, there were no specifics on it being exclusive.
I need to do the same. I pre-ordered with them when the bundle was first announced.
That’s BS. They showed the cd when they first announced the game. Everyone assumed it came with the game. Now months later they want to make it exclusive to a retailer? I preordered from Best Buy. Now if I want the cd I have to change it to GameStop. NOA is so freaking stupid. If it’s exclusive, you announce then when you announce the damn thing.
They might not have known. GameStop might have paid them extra to have it exclusive to them after the announcement.
Well if that’s the case I blame GameStop.
One way or another, this was handled poorly.
Yea it could have been handled better, but I’m gonna believe it wasn’t Nintendo’s fault.
Why it’s not Nintendo — NoA, more specifically — fault?
I may be wrong, but the way you put your words shows you are in denial.
What… How is it not Nintendo’s fault?
They made a huge announcement, telling everyone the CD would be a bonus to anyone who preorders, and now, months later, people find out they secretly changed their mind about it and went back on their word. If they were open to make it retailer-exclusive, they should have decided before the official announcement, and not after everyone interested has already made their preorders somewhere other than Gamestop.
If you really think NoA isn’t to be blamed here, I truly don’t know what to say.
They might have known. NoA responds for all Nintendo-related transactions in NA.
Agreed… I ordered it from Amazon weeks ago, now it’s sold out at Game stop. So annoying…
everyone “assumed” cause NOA told everyone that the bundle included it. i also pre ordered from best buy. i wouldnt have if they said the soundtrack was exclusive to someone else. as far as them not knowing? bullshit the soundtrack was part of the reveal. its not like it was an added thing later.
“A bundle containing the game, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, and the wolf link figure will be release on march 4th 2016. Pre orders go up today. We’re offering the games official soundtrack as a pre order bonus”
– Reggie Fils-Aimé 11-12-’15
I guess by “We” they meant Gamestop”
maybe gamestop is getting a physical copy and everyone else gets a fuckin lame download code. I call shenanigans
NoA is a joke. I feel bad for people like you that was incorrectly informed about this.
It was already stated back when this game was first announced that there was a bonus CD for people who preordered. Which is mostly why I went down and preordered it at Gamestop right away. I was the very first to preorder it.
Dammit, and now it’s gone online as soon as I saw it. Oh well, I can listen to the OST online thanks to the wonderful people who upload video game soundtracks. Hopefully they gave some of the music tracks a Wind Waker HD treatment.
when they first announsed the game they said all pre orders of the game would come with a soundtrack cd but nothing about it being gamerstop/eb games exclusive so we all assumed no matter where we preordered it it would come with the cd but NOA has decided to go back on their word amd be an asshole and make it gamestop/ebgames exclusive
This might be a problem. They did stated that the it’s exclusive to pre-order, not that it’s exclusive to certain retailers. I imagined some people are piss. That being they should have given more details about the CD when they first announced it.
Sweet, I hope it has the theme to the Sacred Grove in the soundtrack. It’s easily my favorite song in the game.
> soundtrack selections
It always drives me NUTS when I don’t have a full soundtrack because they are always missing all the good stuff
Well shit… Do I want the CD and pay for full price at GameStop… Or get $12 off for being a Amazon Prime Member… Decisions… Decisions…
GameStop is sold out. So I can’t change.
Don’t know if i should Buy a (Lazy Twlight HD Remastered). should i? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R9jkD-w1Dk&feature=youtu.be&a
Even the dolphin version looks waay better lol.
Then again.. The Wii U version looks a little better in some places in the gameplay Footage Nintendo showed
The dolphin doesn’t even look close to as good as the official HD remake (or remaster whatever you call it) I’ve done side by sides the Dolphins highly inferior. Except maybe their character model for Link, it’s a bit better. But over all the official remake looks better, will play better with the new touch screen controls, being able to hold more rupees, hero mode, less tears of light to collect in lake Hylia, new dungeon from the ammibo (assuming the France Amazon leak is true which, why would it not be) and whatever other changes they make, actually being able to play it on a console, of TV play, Gyro controls. Over all the Official remake dominates in practically every area.
If there really are less tears of light to collect at Lake Hylia I will be SERIOUSLY PISSED! That is one of the few challenging parts of the game, and honestly it is one of my favorite parts of the game. I hope this is not true… There is no reason at all to make less tears of light. How much time would that save? Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? So ridiculous, it better be rumor! lol
Well sorry Best Buy but it looks like I’m cancelling my preorder.
For those of you who want to get it at gamestop but noticed it’s sold out, you can use this instead:
http://m.gamestop.com/product/wii-u/games/the-legend-of-zelda-twilight-princess-hd-with-amiibo-and-collectors-edition-guide/127728
It costs $99 and comes with the collector’s manual, but you can always return the manual if you don’t want it.
When Gamestop has bundles like this, it exists in their system as just a regular order with multiple items on it. So instead of it being processed as a bundle, it’s processed as individual items. So you’ll be able to bring your packing receipt and the manual to any store to get it refunded. Hope it helps.
I would but I hate ordering from them. They charge too much for shipping and they even tax it!
There is just no benefit ordering from them…other places like amazon with prime or BestBuy having GamersClub or Target with their red card and walmart at least having free shipping on 35$+ orders are all better options and worth it.
Not to mention if you return an item to GS in which you paid for shipping, you wont get that amount back. SMH
It’s not even good/fast shipping to be charged for in the first place.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve never liked gamestop as a company, and only ever use them as a last resort. Unfortunately in this case, I don’t have much of a choice.
Although, the one area that I do think gamestop tends to do better in than most other retailers is pre-order bonuses. They often give you a greater incentive to buy from them. Case and point right here.
Thanks I Pre-ordered. Unfortunately I thought I had Pre-ordered this a long time ago but I never did =/ come to find out today when it’s all sold out so this is my only chance. Still overpriced so I hope more pre-orders open for just the game and amiibo
I hope so too. If they do I’m opting for just the game. I don’t need a $40 manual.
Nintendo just loves screwing America in the ass, haw?
Man, I hate these NoA exclusivity deals. I think people from NoA wake up everyday thinking “hum, okay, what can we to today to screw NA consumers?”
so will pre-orders open back up anytime soon or what?
I hope this CD has more than 7 lousy tracks this time, unlike that last Twilight Princess sampler CD they made. I remember being SO let down when I got that CD.
Anyone who ordered theirs on Amazon – getting the game for $47 – I’ll sell you my CD for $13 +s/h. :)
I have honestly been waiting for Amazon to get more copies, because I would rather pay $51 taxes and shipping included, than the $71 I am paying through GameStop. That’s 4-5 days shipping, mind you. Through Amazon, I could have it delivered Day One for no extra cost.
Thankfully, so far, Batman is the only one defending Nintendo, specifically NintenD’OH! *facepalm* of ‘Murica, for the shitty handling of this pre-order bonus. I wonder who will be the next sucker *cough* I mean, person to damage control for NoA.
SHUT UP! NINTENDO IS THE BEST COMPANY EVER! THEY’VE NEVER MADE A BAD DECISION EVER AND EVERYBODY LOVES THEM. THAT’S WHY THE WII U IS DOING SO MUCH BETTER THAN XBONER AND GAYSTATION 4. IT’S ALL STUPID GAMESTOP’S STUPID FAULT!
Oh my god! Bowler AA, is that you!? xD
This is definitely something that guy would comment with. Minus the punctuation, of course.
Lol nope, just me.
This wouldn’t bug me quite as much if they had bothered to announce this BEFORE it sold out on GameStop.
That’s bullshit. Stuff like this makes me dislike Nintendo.
Preorders are back up at Gamestop. If you want the CD, now’s your chance.
Thanks for the heads up. Servers are slow, but I finally got it. Shipping and tax made it almost not with it though.
Worth*
Yeah they really do suck when it comes to fees. I can understand the tax, but the shipping is ridiculous. They should have free shipping when you spend so much, or at least give you the option of picking up in store.
Couldn’t agree more.
