If you’re still interested in buying a Nintendo 2DS XL, then get ready to give GameStop $159 for the special “Hylian Shield Edition” model, which is launching on July 2nd. It comes preloaded with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, so you can power it on and start saving Hyrule immediately.
Hopefully you haven’t forgotten the Super NES game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, which is the predecessor to the bundled game The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

In case you were wondering about 3DS game compatibility, the 2DS XL supports all 3DS games (in 2D), so you can still save Hyrule in the usual order of puzzles, dungeons, and boss fights.
