By Ryan Fleming August 29, 2011

After years of waiting for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, fans will finally be able to rescue the kidnap-friendly princess on November 20. And for those that want to control Link in style, Nintendo has you covered.

Nintendo has announced that it will release a a special bundle for Skyward Sword, containing a blinged-out Wii Remote Plus controller, as well as a CD featuring orchestral recordings of The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert, which will be performed live in Los Angeles and London on October 21 and 25 respectively.

The bundle will also include the game, because, ya know, it would be a rather silly bundle without it.

The special limited-edition version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be available on launch day, November 20, for $69.99. The standard version with the game alone will retail for $49.99, but it won’t include the boss controller or the CD.

The best accessories to use with Delta game emulator

Once Apple opened the floodgates and allowed emulators onto the App Store, Delta was one of the first on the scene. This Nintendo emulator allows you to load up your ROMs for all the classic systems, from the NES and Game Boy to the N64 and DS. With so much nostalgia suddenly available right on your phone, it's no wonder that Delta has become one of the most downloaded apps on the store. And while the emulator itself is fantastic, none of these games were intended to be played on your iPhone -- and more specifically, with the touchpad. Even the old Game Boy games can feel cramped and cluttered when you are blocking parts of the screen with your thumbs, but there are plenty of handy accessories to make your iPhone the perfect platform for Delta games.
Backbone Controller

The Backbone controller has been around for a few years and is the perfect combination of convenience and quality. It easily slides onto your iPhone and adds two thumbsticks, a D-pad, four face buttons, and two pairs of triggers. It's more than enough for any game you could emulate with Delta. The best part is that it allows you to view your screen with no obstructions so you can fully enjoy your gaming experience.
