The system will be gold-coloured and feature the Hylian Crest on its front. The hand-held console comes just after the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, which is scheduled for launch on October 23.
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer will launch on September 25. The game supports the use of select Amiibo cards, which will introduce new characters to the game when tapped on. Animal Crossing Amiibo card packs will be released on the same day. The Hyrule Edition 3DS XL is not the only themed 3DS revealed by Nintendo as of late.
