Last week, Nintendo announced that it would be releasing a special Anniversary Edition of the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords at the end of the month. As good as that news is, what is even better is that the game will be free though the Nintendo eShop and DSiWare stores.
Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition will be available beginning on September 28, 2011 and will remain on the digital service stores at no charge until February 20, 2012. There are going to be a couple of changes evident in the new version compared to the original.
