Odds are the thing holding you back from a 3DS purchase isn’t a Limited Edition version of the handheld, but just in case it was Nintendo has quite the offer for you. It’s the new Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Zelda 3DS, and it's absolutely stunning. It's also limited to Europe – sorry, rest of the world. You'll just have to settle for playing a handful of games on your non-Limited Edition Zelda 3DS like a bunch of suckers.

Above: It's so classy we might puke

The handheld will come with the awesome, fancy handheld, a special sleeve (which you'll immediately throw away in favor of using a proper case), and, obviously, a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. The Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Zelda 3DS should start arriving on European shelves on November 25, and while pricing details haven't been confirmed just yet, we're expecting it will fall in line with the other bundles released so far. Unless, of course, Nintendo decides they want to charge a premium for it because it's so damn sexy - a move we'd understand completely. As it is sexy. There are a few more pictures of the system below that should make you either excited (if you live in Europe) or jealous (if you live anywhere else).

We're reaching out to Nintendo (see: begging) to see if there's a chance of this beauty coming stateside, but, as of now, it's limited to a European release. We'll be sure to keep you posted.
