Nintendo wants to fly you to NYC, give you Zelda


We all know The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a big deal for Nintendo. It's a big deal for us, too. It looks to be one of, if not the, best games on the DS. And, Nintendo is capitalizing on the hype by offering up a prize so good that we can barely stop from shaking as we type this out. To enter, all you have to do is answer three Zelda-related questions.

There are two ways to enter: either you can text message (via one of those new-fangled cellular telephones) the word "Zelda" to 20769, or you can head on over to Zelda.com and enter by snail mail (all of the details regarding this can be found over there). The grand prize winner not only gets flown out to New York city to stay at a hotel for two nights, but also gets a closed-door shopping spree at the Nintendo World Store for up to $1,000, $500 in walk-around money, a special-edition DS and a copy of Phantom Hourglass.

What would you get from the Nintendo World Store if you won the shopping spree?

If I won I'd make sure to grab wavebirds, a bunch of games, a couple systems, and anything left over for shirts.

I would probably get a Wii and stock up on Wii items and games (4 controllers, large memory card. I would probably pimp the system out with as many Good accesories as I could before I went to a single game.

Yay!! I entered and hope I win! I'd probably take the same route as knocturnal; get a Wii and as many accessories as I could before even looking at other stuff.

Oh, and my boyfriend would accompany as my guest! 'Cause I love him :)

The whole message reads

"Reply ur answer to get the next? std txt rates apply."

I already have a Wii, 4 remotes, 4 nunchucks, rechargables, and an SD card for myself. I'd pick up a Wii and some accessories for a friend's wedding (best. gift. EVAR!) and then stock up on apparel and more games.

ROFL @ Saxon's accurate comment.

If I happen to win, I'll get a Wii, couple of games, and then tons of DS games for my collection, and maybe even an extra Lite :)

I wonder what the special edition DS Lite will look like? And if the winner could possibly get it signed by Miyamoto and/or Iwata?

That'd be sweet.
