Nintendo's Ocarina of Time Soundtrack Offer Ends at Midnight

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

If you'd like a complimentary copy of the soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, celebrating the launch of the 3DS revision and the series' 25th anniversary, time to act fast.

One, you need to have purchased a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

Two, register a Club Nintendo account.

Three, connect your copy of Zelda to said Club Nintendo account before midnight PST.

The soundtrack features 50 tracks, one orchestral melody made for this release, liner notes with character illustrations, and a message from Shigeru Miyamoto and composer Koji Kondo.

After midnight, your cartridge turns into a dodongo!

Wouldn't if be great if Nintendo could create some original games instead of constantly cashing in of their legacy....

I don't understand why people hate that art style.

I'm a fan of it.

I wonder how much people are going to spin this for on eBay.

I'm still debating. I have the pre-order poster to go with it, so I'm hoping to cover the cost of the game haha

Purchased my copy from amazon. Guess that means that I won't be able to get a copy of the cd. I truly hate that Nintendo releases games on Sunday.

I hope I get a confirmation email. I think I'll call just to make sure.
...Lately I haven't got any coins for linking my 3DS to the store, or linking my netflix to the wii.  so I have a reason to call Nintendo anyways.

I registered the day I got it with no problems. Pretty cool bonus for a day one purchase.  Doing it this way is MUCH better than dumb retailer exclusive pre order content.

That's a whole lotta words to get to, "Just search for it and download it from Megaupload tommorow", Patrick XD jk, jk. But jumping through so many "Club Nintendo" hoops is a pain in the ass, for sure. Even if you want it, and knew about it, I could imagine many gamers just saying, "To hell with it".

Somewhat disappointed to learn that ordering online totally screwed me out of this offer, but on the bright side it allows me to wait until the next Club Nintendo "year" (July) to register the game, so I'll be that much closer to Platinum.

Bought a 3DS about a week ago, this will be my first 3DS game. Barring cartridge titles, the hardware has really exceeded my expectations so far... I've fallen hook line and sinker for the overall charm and artistry of apps like the eShop, StreetPass Mii Plaza, AR Games, etc.. I'd encourage people to just pull the trigger on getting one if you know you'll probably get one eventually.

I love how this isn't some retailer-exclusive or pre-order bonus. Walk into a store and buy the game on day 1 or 2, boom, free soundtrack. Thank you Nintendo.

It almost gets me to forget that 3DS games come in flimsy, cheap, "eco-friendly" boxes. Way to save 3 cents.

You know what, I still don't have a 3DS, but I just went out and got the game and registered it because, honestly, that Soundtrack sounds awesome. Its not like Nintendo games get price drops in a reasonable amount of time.
