<p>It feels like an age since the wonderful <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/3ds/legend_of_zelda_a_link_between_worlds">The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds</a></strong> landed on the 3DS. Back in 2013 the 3DS was really on a roll and we were spoilt for choice, but this sequel to the classic SNES <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/snes/legend_of_zelda_a_link_to_the_past">The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past</a></strong> really hit the mark and we promptly awarded it <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds/legend_of_zelda_a_link_between_worlds">10/10 in our review at the time</a>.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/7o3uum/nintendo_pr_reps_have_been_contacting_journalists/">Reddit users</a> recently allowed their imaginations to get the better of them when it was revealed that Nintendo PR reps have been contacting journalists and requesting permission to re-quote reviews of A Link Between Worlds:</p>

<p>We did think it was a bit strange when we got this request from PR ourselves, as for some time A Link Between Worlds <a class="external" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Legend-Zelda-Between-Selects-Nintendo/dp/B015Z1LYLC/?tag=nlife-21" rel="nofollow">has been available as a budget Selects release in Europe</a>. Of course, the first thing which comes to mind is “could a Switch port of this wonderful game be in the works?”</p>
<p>Alas however, in North America the game <em>hasn’t</em> had a Selects release. It looks likely that a Selects release will be announced soon by Nintendo of America, which will be welcome news for 3DS owners who haven’t yet picked up this amazing game yet – and perhaps answers why Nintendo PR is asking for fresh review quotes.</p>
