Searched, didn't see this:

Saturday, July 16, 2005 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has been given a release date on Amazon.com. November 14th, 2005 is the date to mark on your calendar. While this news cannot be confirmed, it hardly seems like an arbitrary placeholder date. Also worth noting is that Amazon.co.uk has given the game a release date of November 25, 2005 for Europe. Such a close launch for a high profile game hasn't happened in quite some time. In the past, Nintendo representatives have alluded to a simultaneous world-wide release for their holiday hit, and so, the similarities are reassuring as to the validity of these dates.

Awesome.

 

[worldrunover]

I checked EBGames earlier in the day, they have it listed for November 1st. I'm sure it's somewhere around there, I don't think there's a definite date yet though.

 

[Mejilan]

Most likely is arbitrary, actually.

 

[Ironclad]

Placeholder date most likely, but I am willing to bet that they will release it in November. Not sure when in November however.

 

[worldrunover]

What day does 360 come out? I'm gonna say they release it on that one.

 

[Ark-AMN]

Zelda (prior to Wind Waker) had a habit of coming out the week of Thanksgiving and I expect Twilight to do the same.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

1st or 14th usually=placeholder.

 

[Hero]

Most likely it will be November 18th (Gamecube's US release date) or the week of.

 

[Mejilan]

Nov 22nd = my birthday. That could be an amazing week.

Stop pimping your site.

same should be said to kyotomecca then.

November 4th, if the leaks are true.

I just felt like being an asshole, that's all. I don't care.

yay zeruda

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

I really dont care what the date is, i just want this game.

 

[Truelize]

Man that's a long freakin time to wait still. I was hoping this was coming out in September and was thinking that they would release another bundle with both Zeldas in November.

 

[sc0la]

I thought the 3rd of Notsoonenough, 2005 was already confirmed?

1st or 14th usually=placeholder.

No, placeholder dates would be the 1st, 15th, or 30th/31st. This date actually seems to be a legit one, because it falls on a Monday, which is the day Nintendo always releases their games.

G4 was sitting on today and they had an edited Zelda trailer playing during the commercials which I stopped to watch. Near the end a little tag poped up saying brought to you by EBGames and that the release was Nov 11th.

Can't imagine them knowing any more then anyone else, but I felt like chiming in.

 

[Piepz]

November 4th, if the leaks are true.

What he said (about x360)

Doesn't Nintendo usually release big games the week of (or the week before) thanksgiving here in the US? This goes back to like OoT.

Fear the shopping of Black Friday

 

[Salmon]

November 21 for Europe! It´s been a magic date for Nintendo´s big releases.

 

[Drexon]

'The day Microsoft release their next console they walk right into Zelda 3'

 

[SantaC]

I bet the localization teams are working their asses of. Getting it out in pal requires german, french and spanish translation also.

Yeah, they did that with Metroid Prime 2 last year. 17th or something like that.

Hey, it was a big game to me.

 

[Tarazet]

Don't worry, they'll delay it and it'll come out the 29th of Toolatetheshiphaslefttheport..

I was more excited for MP2 than I am for Zelda.

They released MP2 on the same day as Half-Life 2 and MGS3, actually (well, perhaps one day earlier).

 

[AssMan]

Playing Twilight Princess on Thanksgiving=will be the best day EVAR!

 

[AirBrian]

Two options:

1) November 17/18th (like GC, MP, MKD, MP2)

2) Whatever day X360 launches (like MM did on PS2's release)

 

[Johnas]

They released MP2 on the same day as Half-Life 2 and MGS3, actually (well, perhaps one day earlier).

I can honestly say I was more excited for MP2 than any other game ever. I really wasn't disappointed in it either (although it isn't the best game evar).

You are correct, it did release one day earlier; I contemplated whether I wanted to make the half-hour drive to the game store two days in a row, and I ended up doing that, I just didn't want to wait one more day for Metroid.
