    It is only in the NA eShop so far, hope they don't make it NA only. Can't find any official source on region limitations of the offer.

    I'm probably crazy, but I think I'll end up buying it again, even though I already own it on the Wii VC. I'd rather be able to play it on the gamepad, than using a controller plugged into a Wiimote.

    @sergio: If you own it on Wii and did the system transfer, the Wii U version should be heavily discounted.

    @hailinel: Hopefully, I'll find out when I get home. I've seen other eShop versions of games I already own, and the discounts aren't transparent or looked like much.

    Does this DSiWare version allow for local ad hoc multiplayer using 3DSs?

    I was just about to bring this up. Almost feel bad downloading a free game with Nintendo's recent financial forecast -ah who am I kidding, free Zelda game!

    huh, the DSi interface. I missed this when it came out, it's basically the GBA LTTP game multiplayer but then they added just one guy for single player?

    Man, I love minish cap's sprite art more then any other game.

    wtf is Four Swords honestly, is it a GBA game that requires multiple people with GBAs, or is it a Gamecube game that sucks when played by oneself but cant be played by others even if you own multiple controllers, or is it something else entirely?

    Once again it seems this is NA only. Thanks Nintendo! :/

    Hell, give me an option to buy the game and I would. It's not even listed in the UK eshop.

    I picked it up last night. Anyone know if it's possible to play with a friend online? I doubt it but I thought I'd ask.

    @egg: you have two Links that you can swap between using L/R. It can be played as a single player game.
