Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD will be released in US two weeks early via the the Wii U eShop.
Having confirmed earlier today a US retail release date of October 4 - the same day as its retail release in Europe - the firm has now revealed that the game will get a digital download release via the US eShop two weeks prior on September 20. It also confirmed that the game will cost $49,99 - $10 less than the typical retail software price of $60. There's no word on whether the EU eShop will also play host to an early release.
As well as HD graphics and a tuned-up game experience, the title will support off-TV GamePad play and Miiverse functionality.
Nintendo has also added a new 'Hero mode' to the game, which is essentially a harder difficulty setting, upping the challenge for players who want enemy encounters to be more perilous.
Nintendo of America announced earlier today that the game will be packed into a special Zelda Wii U premium bundle for £249.99, along with confirming plans to cut the Wii U's price by $50.
