Nintendo Switch Online subscribers have received a pleasant surprise with a free Zelda download that will appeal to fans of SNES nostalgia. The offer includes new profile icons based on The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, featuring character portraits of Link, Zelda, and other characters from the SNES game. These icons, which typically cost 10 Platinum Points each, are available for free until June 3.
To claim the icons, users need to boot up the SNES app on their console and start The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. While they don’t have to play the game, they must at least launch it to access the icons. Once the promotion ends, the opportunity to obtain these icons may be lost forever, as Nintendo rarely re-releases icons from these types of promotions.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is an acclaimed action-adventure game released in 1991 in Japan and 1992 in North America. It is the third game in The Legend of Zelda series and is considered one of the greatest games ever made, holding a 95 on Metacritic. The game remains enjoyable for both nostalgic fans and newcomers alike.
