Free Zelda downloads slammed by Nintendo fans

Normally, anything Legend of Zelda goes down a treat with fans, but these free downloads have been heavily criticised instead.

There’s a couple of weeks to go yet, but come the end of September we will have a newLegend of Zeldaadventure to get lost in.

Any new title from the beloved franchise is a cause for celebration, but this one feels especially special because we finally get to play as Princess Zelda.

Currently, Legend of Zelda fans have until 7 October to claim these fiveLegendofZelda: Link’s Awakening DXicons.

Granted, five isn’t a massive number, but Nintendo has been known to drop small icon batches before.

But it isn’t the number of icons available that’s irked players so much, it’s the design of said images.

One Twitter userremarked, “So f**kin ugly lmao.”

“This is disappointing; after last month I was hoping forDonkey Kong Country 2,”commented@Tangocow.

In comparison to the reaction otherfree Nintendo Switch downloadshave received, the general consensus is that this offer is underwhelming.

Even the “GREAT” that someone tweeted feels like a joke rather than a genuine appreciation of gratitude.

Like them or not though, these Legend of Zelda goodies are here to stay until early October.
