15 Weirdest The Legend Of Zelda Spin-Offs
4. My Nintendo Picross: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is Picross, that's it, it's the puzzle game Picross.
Whilst the game itself isn't that noteworthy, the bizarre way it was distributed is. That and the fact that it came out the same month as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Wii U owners got a beautiful remaster of one of the best 3D Zelda games, 3DS owners got Picross.
The game is most known for the fact that you need 1000 My Nintendo Platinum Points to get it.
Platinum Points are earned mostly by playing the dreadful Nintendo mobile games. They can be earned in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Fire Emblem Heroes, and Super Mario Run.
Apparently the biggest incentive Nintendo can think of to make people play their mobile games is Picross. You don't even get Platinum Points from every Nintendo mobile game, Mario Kart Tour and Pokémon Go players don't deserve Platinum Points apparently.
Why this wasn't just a general Zelda themed Picross or was at least something you could purchase with the more obtainable Gold Points will always be a mystery, Nintendo just works in mysterious ways sometimes.
