Ignoring the GBA Link to the Past/4 Swords Box on the right, the left box is of course for Wind Waker. Also ignore the usual stupid green triangle on the spine (why is it there?) and the box being spoilt by the huge sticker saying NOM gave it 10/10 (which could be a spoiler in itself - I don't know if they've reviewed it yet as I dont read it)...
But the box clearly says "Limited Edition": could this mean that the first orders will get the bonus disk inside the Zelda game box unlike the US ones which were separate in a wallet thingy? If so, this will mean that assuring games with bonus disks will be much easier as you'll know that the disks are inside the box. Also the case looks pretty fat, almost like a VHS box in depth, could they have made it wider as there is two disks? I dont think so.. They would use a plastic 2nd disk holder thing like in the Resi games.. but saying that they might want to make it bigger as it's extra special or to include extra manual(s). Your thoughts?

Indeed, Goblin were charging about £35 for the bonus disks ALONE. Thieving gits.
Yeah - they announced a while back that they'd be packaged together, presumably to stop money grabbing retailers to stop selling them seperately and not giving the bonus out to the pre-orders.
Why they couldn't have done this from the start is anyone's guess. Why the didn't do this for the US lauch after the Jap's ripped off pre-order-ers is for God alone to know.

No where else has changed the release date but nintendo.. is the official site wrong?
Crazy.
Well I pre ordered ages ago so I should get the discs although admitedly I don't really see anyone actually playing them when there's a perfectly good brand new Zelda to be played in the same box.
It's more of a "I've got the limited edition Wind Waker box! HA HA" thing.

You do, but its only limited.
You don't get any bonus disks with The Wind Waker :-)
Intresting.. on the offical Nintendo Europe site they are now listing Wind Waker's release date as 2nd May, NOT 3rd.
eh?!
